A-DERMA SKINCARE

My skin is sensitive and dry all year round, but in Autumn/Winter time during the colder months it becomes drier and even more sensitive. Being a massive skincare lover I'm constantly on the hunt for new and exciting products that make me feel better about my skin and Escentual had just the thing. The A-Derma Sensitive Skincare range is perfectly suited towards my skin type, and all ingredients are plant based which means there's nothing nasty in the products.



A-Derma Sensifluid Cleansing Micellar Water* is a super creamy and soothing cleanser that feels really luxurious. This removes all my make-up and any dirt easily without any rubbing or pulling at the skin and leaves everything feeling extremely plumped up, smoothed out and very hydrated, my skin felt as soft as a babies bum! *Thumbs up*

I can also use this to take off my eye make-up as it doesn't sting or irritate my eye area. This must be the creamiest micellar water cleanser I've used so far, my skin looked alive and glowing after use this. And with no scent, it doesn't smell of anything weird of unusual - which makes my nose happy.  

A-Derma Nutrialba Nourishing Cream* is a little pot in gold, it's an extremely nourishing and hydrating cream that feels very comfortable on and sinks in quickly. It isn't sticky or sickly, and applies smoothly without being greasy. My skin felt smoother and silky to the touch after using this, it really is a god send in these winter months. HALLELUJAH!

This is a very thick, white cream that's suited towards dry and fragile skin helping to repair the skin and restore hydration and moisture. It also comes with a little applicator just in case you don't want to repeatedly dip your fingers into a pot - Genius! 

A-Derma Light Soothing Cream* is as it says on tin, a very light hydrating cream that soothes and calms. This is a white, light gel type cream that's very cooling and once you apply this it sinks in very quickly and leaves my skin feeling exceptionally hydrated and firm. Thjs feels very refreshing and cold, so it instantly awakens my skin and makes me look like I've had all my eight hours of sleep. 

It's also a great base under make-up as it's so hydrating but doesn't wait around, it sinks in almost immediately after application but keeps skin hydrated long after it's been applied. 

A-Derma Hydralba Rich Hydrating Cream* is a very rich, hydrating white cream that also has the added bonus of having SPF 20. This is very plumping and soothing, feels very fresh and awakening on the skin. It sinks in immediately after applying it, and can also be used under make-up as a moisturiser and primer in one. Less skincare steps is definitely a winner with me!

AUSSIE DRY SHAMPOO

Though my love for Aussie is strong, I've never ventured out of the shampoo or conditioner products. I always used Batiste Dry Shampoo even though I hate when it leaves your hair a kind of grey colour, it always leaves my hair clean and fresh - after alot of brushing through! 

I picked up the Aussie Dry Shampoo a few weeks ago and it's been hidden away in my drawers since, I saw that Amelia Liana gave it a bad review and that made me not want to give it chance. It's completely different to Batiste Dry Shampoo due to the fact that this dry shampoo is similar to a hairspray - give it a little spritz, it'll come out as a wet spray but with no sticky substance. Instead of brushing this through, I rub this in where I've sprayed it and then once everything is dry I then brush it through.

This isn't sticky, doesn't have a horrible smell or feel like you're brushing flour through your hair. It's very simple and easy to use, and a little goes a long way. It definitely saved me from washing my hair another day, lazy girl problems! It soaked up the last few days of dirt, made my hair feel clean and fresh and looked like it had a good wash. I still had movement in my hair, this didn't make it feel cripsy or dry which is the main thing and there's no colour to this dry shampoo! I've definitely converted to this rather than the standard, familiar favourite Batiste products. *Insert Thumbs up emoji*

THE VERDICT'S IN...

I featured this in my Skincare on Trial Post after eyeing this product up for quite some time, in the end I gave in and instantly fell in love. It's such a timeless, classic product that's so simple and doesn't promise to do anything more than what it already does. (Insert heart emoji!) 

With a little nozzle it's easy to use and distribute the product without any waste. It's very creamy in consistency however, it's definitely more of a water cleansing milk rather than a cream or gel. It doesn't sting or irritate, has a fresh scent and hydrates without drying out my skin. *Applauds Product*

This removes all make-up and dirt without having to pull or rub against my skin and leaving everything a red raw. The one thing I would say is don't get this in your eyes, because it stings like a b*tch! (Note to self!)
It's definitely something a product I love and that my skin loves, and it's something I'll carry on using without a doubt. It's super cheap and very simple, yet I didn't expect so much from this. The packaging is very timeless as well, again with the nozzle it's easy to distribute product but with the lid that clicks on and off there won't be any waste of product or dreaded leaks.
