A while back,
during the summer my friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a spa day. We were
pampered with a massage, body wrap and facial. It complete and utter bliss!
After my
treatment I got chatting to the lovely beautician and talk turned to skin care
and the current spotty mare which is my face. My skin looked so dull and I’ve
been getting huge outbreaks of spots along my jaw line and on my chin. According
to the beautician getting spots there is linked to hormones... not sure what I
can do about that?! However she did recommend that I try Elemis
Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser. It’s a product she’s been using for similar
problems but not one the spa sells. So on her advice I went home and jumped
online to order myself a bottle!
The packaging
isn’t much to write home about but I do like that it has a pump applicator as I
find products last longer when distributing with a pump.
The box
states that it is ‘designed for combination skin types. Active extracts of lime
blossom, lecithin and vitamin E help to balance excess surface oils and soothe
the skin revealing a clean and radiant complexion’.
To apply you
just massage the cleanser over your face, then remove any excess with a damp
cotton wool pad. Easy! I have fallen in love with this cleanser! It smells
gorgeous with a scent that reminds me of the parma violet sweets!
I have been
using it twice a day for just over a month now and I can really see the
difference in my skin. My t-zone isn’t as shiny, my breakouts have cleared up
and the few spots I have are small and less angry/red looking. Plus my skin
feels smooth a little glowy!
At £22
it’s not cheap but it lasts quite a while and really has turned the state of my
skin around. This is definitely now my go to cleanser!
This sounds amazing! My skin is full of blemishes at the moment and this product sounds like it could really help :) thank you for writing about it. Shame it is so expensive but I think I'll definitely give it a try! xxx

Looks like it's a really great product, I haven't actually tried Elemis before but I hear mostly good things so maybe I'll get it next time I'm in need of a cleanser! xx
