Anyone who has or does suffer with their skin and is prone to breakouts will know that sometimes you can get left with dark marks, now whilst I don't have terrible skin, I do tend to have occasional breakouts and I have been left with a few marks which for me late, along with enlarged pores, seems to be the battle I am having at the moment. It was whilst searching for dark mark remedies that I discovered The Body Shop Vitamin C Moisturiser online and decided I had to buy it and try it for myself. Here is what I thought about it.
If you have skin like me I know it can be a little daunting to try anything new, especially products you think might make your skin greasy. I know I have tried moisturisers that just make me break out and make me too shiny. In fact, it's hard for me to find a moisturiser that is right for my skin. But hey presto I think I have found a keeper in this one!! The Body Shop Vitamin C Moisturiser has been a pleasure to use, I am so happy with this product. A little goes a long way and as soon as you rub it into your skin it quickly absorbs leaving your skin feeling hydrated and smooth. And the smell.....wow its delicious!! I find I am using this moisturiser morning and night and have been doing so for round about 3 1/2 weeks now and it really has made an improvement on my 'dark marks'. The secret is apparently in the vitamin C itself, vitamin C is a natural healer and this includes the healing of skin. The radicals that vitamin C helps combat are the ones found in damaged skin. Vitamin C also helps combat irritation, inflammation and infection. Vitamin C also promotes collagen production in the skin which is vital when skin tissue is reformulating. Think of all these benefits in a skin cream that you are applying directly to the problem. It has all these benefits and keeps the skin well hydrated too! Could it be any more perfect!!
It is great to use as a primer because it absorbs so well and quickly and creates a great base for your make up. What I also love about this moisturiser is that it makes your skin very bright and awake, so if you suffer with dull and tired looking skin this may be perfect for you! Throw in added SPF 30 too and it doesn't get much better! I paid £11 for a 50ml tube which is a little pricey, but as it is quite thick you don't need to use a lot. It is so good it has even cleared up a dry patch on my arm that I have suffered with for months, after2 days use it had cleared up. Its literally that good!! I do wish this was sold in bigger tubes. I will definitely be buying more of this!!! Let me know what your favourite moisturiser is and why it's good for you :)
