Although I have had a blog for a while I have not posted any skincare posts yet. I am very passionate about skincare since I started reading Caroline Hirons blog (who I am sure you all know) and who has gotten me on to using acid toners. I try to use a different acid toner in the morning and the evening but I don't use them everyday as I don't want my skin to be completely stripped. I thought I write about some of my favourites:
1. First Aid Beauty Radiance Pads - these are my favourites as they are so easy to use, each pad is pre-soaked so you don't have to worry about pouring on to a cotton wool and you know there will be enough on there. These are also not stripping at all and are nice on gentle on the skin I like to use these in the mornings.
2. Clearasil Daily Clear Superfruits Refreshing Pads - these are extremely budget friendly and I don't think everyone would realise that they are acid toners. I find these quite strong and so would not usually use them in consecutive days.
3. Clinique Mild Clarifying Lotion - this contains salicyclic acid so is good for people who have acne as it won't make it any worse or aggravate it. This as it suggests in the name is mild and was one that I liked to use in the evening as it feels a bit more moisturising on the skin.
4. Clarins Gentle Exfoliating Brightening Toner - this is my absolute favourite and think always will be, I like to have it always in stock in my skincare stash. It's lovely to use just a couple of times a week just as a treat for my skin.
My advice (well from Caroline) is to have two or three acid toners, and use the lighter one for the days and a strong one for night. I have also done a bit of research into what each of the acids done so I'll add that below for you.
Lactic Acid - good for dry and dehydrated skin, resurfacing
Glycolic Acid - good for collagen stimulation, resurfacing
Malic Acid - good for collagen boosting, resurfacing
Salicylic Acid - good for acne prone skin
PHAs - good for hydrating and deep penetration of products afterwards
See you on Monday!

Gift Guide for Skin Care Lovers
Hello!
Time for another gift guide and this time it is for skin care lovers. My last one that I posted was more a general beauty one, but this is one is much more specific. This is for the person who is really into treating and looking after their skin.
1. Glamglow Glamtastic Facial Set. This is a set of four of Glamglows most well known facial masks, they are all travel size. It contains the Glamglow Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment, Glamglow Supermud Clearing Treatment, Glamglow Thirstymud Hydrating Treatment and Glamglow Brightmud Eye Treatment. £49.99
2. Clinique Cleansing by Clinique. This contains the Clinque Sonic Cleansing System as well as three minis of the three step routine that they promote. This set also is available for different skin types. £79 Worth £100
3. Emma Hardie Merrily Moringa Gift Set. This contains a travel size version of the cult classic Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing balm and a flannel. This would be perfect for anyone who has been dying to try it at such an affordable price. £10
4. Murad Exclusive Flawless Set. This set is exclusive to FeelUnique and has a good saving on the value of the products if you bought them all individually. £55 Worth £98.75
5. Caudalie Christmas Must Have Set. This set contains miniatures of some Caudalie's must famous products. If your skin care lover has sensitive skin this could be the set for them as Caudalie use all natural products. £18 Worth £26
6. The Magnitone The Full Monty. This is one of the more pricey gifts in the gift guide but from all of the rave reviews I have seen about this, the Magnitone would be a skincare lover's dream come true and it also comes in lots of different colours. £130
7. Jurlique Iconic Collection. This is another gift set full of Jurlique's most famous products. If you really want a love one to indulge this Christmas this is the one to get. £69 worth £89
8. Elemis 25 Heritage Heroes. This is a celebration box for 25 years of Elemis, with a huge selection of face and body products. I know that this is extremely expensive but I know that some people are devoted lovers of Elemis, this is for them. £225 worth £425.16
9. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Beauty Set. This set contains 5 deluxe samples of the different types of the Eight Hour Cream range, so if you know anyone who just keeps repurchasing this over and over again this is the gift for them. £42 worth £69
There we have it my picks for the skin care lover. Is there anything you think I have missed. Comment below.
See you tomorrow.
