I'm not terribly great at keeping up with weekly features
but I will share on occasion items that I feel are pretty handy to keep in your hand bag
for those just in case situations.
I'm forever bemoaning my oily/blemish prone skin but I think all of us at some point
of our lives can relate with the dreaded painful patch of skin which you know
is just preparing the mother of blemishes as a thank you for cheeky minute bar of chocolate
you had the day before!
Well zap that sucker ( I did want to type mother *beeper* but couldn't bring myself to cursing...I'm growing up all) before it can reach it's full potential Mount Everest extent.
When a little red lump begins to rear it's ugly head I fish around in my bag and produce my Witch Skin Care Blemish Stick and begin vigorous applying it to the offending area.
If it was polite and hygienic I would whirl this around on complete strangers faces too
but in Glasgow I don't recommend doing this...I can't see it ending well.
Essentially Witch Skin Care Blemish Stick is a stick of portable astringent that contains alcohol
and natural Witch Hazel Oil to dry out and stop a blemish in it's tracks with Glycerin to calm the skin.
I'm not going to hail this as an the answer to our spotty prayers but it does remarkably reduce the size
of any blemishes when slicked on before it fully develops.
Random fact - it does smell very akin to Vodka.
As it contains alcohol it can be slightly drying but with my oily skin I don't find it all that troublesome,
what I will say is that yes I do use this on the go but it does remove any make-up from the area
you apply it to, a small price to pay for reduced blemish sizes and quicker healing times.
It does tingle a little on application and has a slight alcohol scent but like I said
i'd take that any day over a small volcano on the tip of my nose (yep true story).
Have you tried this? What do you think?
Witch Skin Care Blemish Stick* 10g/£2.86 but currently 1/2 price via Superdrug - link
I absolutely swear by this product!!! I do like the Vodka like scent too! ;) xx
ReplyDeleteI used swear by this when I was an overly spotty teen but for some reason I just stopped buying it. I don't know why though, because it is a really good product! Xo
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! What a funny post! :D
ReplyDeleteI have something to spot on blemishes before and after they appear. But it's not for on-the-go, but only at night. It's a Mario Badescu product (I can't remember the name now, but if you want I can write it down when I'm home).
sounds great!

I tried this as a teen but found it too drying for my skin. Even though I had acne I had dry skin - a really bizarre combo. The one thing I swore by is a product called Zineryt which was prescribed by my GP, which looks like a deodorant roll on but you apply it to your face. It completely cleared up by acne at the time and even helped some of the scarring I'd begun to develop as a result. If you were to look at me now you'd have thought I had clear skin all my life because my skin's so much better. So to any girls and guys out there with acne, I'd really recommend seeing your GP if nothing you buy is working, plus check out acne.org - wish I'd known this existed when I had acne. x

ReplyDeleteI will have to look and see if this is available in Aus. I am 26 and still get the occasional spots... I thought I would grow out of needing products like this!

I'm still not sure about this product. I found when I used it my spots did clear up a little but as soon as I stopped using it, they came back but worse.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if it's the witch hazel or the alcohol that doesnt agree with my skin?

I love Witch - I've always used this :) xx

I hardly ever get spots at all but after recently having a nasty virus, I was left with sore bumps all over my jawline. I applied a bit of this magic stick and within 24 hours, my skin was clear! Absolutely life saving and I only paid £2 for it in the local supermarket!
ReplyDeleteI've used this blemish stick a few times, it definitely helped to stop spots in their tracks! I love products by Witch, one of the best skin care brands around :) I particularly like their skin-clearing primer!
