Shamefully I'll admit I've never been one to have a strict skincare routine, even though I know I should have. Since I was about 13 I have suffered with bad skin - by no means have I had acne but I have always been self-concious about my skin. I have oily/combination skin type which can be a pain when experimenting with new foundations or moisturisers. Fortunately I think I have found my holy grail moisturiser (Hallelujah!). A few months ago I was shopping with my mother and we popped into Boots in Cardiff. Browsing around the counters, I'd seen a moisturiser from Clinique which was aimed at combination oily to oily skin so I asked for a tester of the dramatically different moisturising gel from the Clinique counter. This gel is aimed at combating oily skin and is number 3 in the 3 step skin care routine from Clinique. I hoped it would suit my skin type by moisturising yet keeping the oiliness at bay. I used the tester up in about a week and was so happy at the results. I found that I was having less breakouts because my skin wasn't feeling dry. Due to the moisturiser being a gel it felt light and soaked into my skin very quickly without leaving a greasy residue. As well as this, I think it even helped my foundation glide onto my skin better and more evenly and stayed there for longer.I would definitely recommend trying this moisturiser if you're looking for a product that moisturisers as well as leaving your skin soft without feeling greasy, especially if your prone to oily skin or breakouts - as you can see I'm rapidly making my way through my bottle and I'll be sure to buy my next one soon.
