Detoxing My Skin With Biore

After Easter one of two things happens.... your waistline expands or your skin freaks out. Between eating lots of sugary treats and (possibly) travelling over the long weekend, it can be a recipe for skin disaster. 


Biore are always a brand I go back to when I have a major skin breakout. I love their Warming Anti-Blackhead Cream Cleanser. I used it after having my daughter when my skin went ballistic. I always find within a month my skin has gone back to normal and I use whatever I was using before (which is normally something more for normal skin). I raved about my love of their Even Smoother Microderm Exfoliator back in December and am it is still in my shower being used once or twice a week (depending on how nice my skin is feeling!). 


Also in their range is their Gentle Make Up Removing Wipes, Pore Unclogging Scrub and their famous Deep Cleansing Pore Strips.

Gentle Make Up Removing Wipes
I hadn't used these before, but have used many other make up removing wipes. What I love about these is that they are gentle, but still can remove waterproof mascara. If you have dry skin, make sure you follow up with a moisturiser or you'll find that your skin can feel dry. 


They are Hypo-allergenic, non comedogenic and also alcohol free (which I love). I like that the wipes aren't smooth, but have tiny squares. The texture helps to make your skin feel refreshed. 


One of the great things on the packaging is that it suggests using the wipes within 45 days after opening (I'm a sucker for a best before date!). I like to keep my opened make up wipes in a zip lock plastic sandwich bag to keep them from drying out. 

Pore Unclogging Scrub
I'm a huge fan of their exfoliator, and this scrub is also fantastic. It reminds me of a mix of their exfoliator and Warming Cream Cleanser. You can really feel it work. It has that slight tingle on the skin which feels great as you know it 's working. It helps to exfoliate, but don't contain harsh beads that feel scratchy on your skin. 


It contains Salicylic Acid to help fight blemishes and keep your skin clear. While it's soft enough to use everyday, if your skin is dry once or twice will be enough. I like that this is something that I can use once or twice a week when I have hormonal blemishes, but it won't upset the balance of my skin by drying it out. 

Deep Cleansing Pore Strips
I used to love using these when I was a teen, but haven't used them for a few years. These can be used weekly, but don't use them more than twice a week. Also don't use them if you have blemishes or scratches/sores on your nose, or it can create trauma to them and leave you scarred. 


For me, I don't really stress about blocked pores (I'm more concerned with redness/uneven skintone and blemishes) but found these great. I'm amazed (and grossed out) about how much "junk" is removed when you use these. I didn't realise how blocked my pores were. They'll definitely become part of my weekly routine. 


Are you a fan of Biore? Are you also grossed out by the junk left behind on the nose strips?
