Go-To and Get it Done

Hands up who loves a clay mask?

You can’t see me, but I most definitely have both hands up in the air!

I’ve always loved the pore clean that you get from a clay or mud mask, but my-oh-my was it hard to find one that didn’t leave your skin feeling super tight and like it needed about a litre of moisturiser applied afterwards… that is until now.

The geniuses at Go-To skincare, Zoe Foster-Blake’s must-have beauty brand, have just released The Removalist and it does everything it says on the tin and more.

Firstly, let’s talk about the smell. Some face masks can be a bit on the nose because of their natural ingredients, but this one’s a super cute reminder of my teenage years, with a grape Hubba Bubba-like scent - it smells delicious.

Then there’s the consistency; it’s not too thick, spreads on easily and is also really easy to take off with water or a face cloth, plus it leaves my skin feeling clean, unclogged and happy.

It’s basically everything I’ve ever wanted in a clay mask.

Use it once or twice week and I promise you, no matter what your age is, your skin will thank you for it. You’ll also notice a difference in how it responds to your moisturisers and serums afterwards.

And it only takes 10 to 15 minutes to do… everyone has 10 to 15 minutes don’t they?

Try it - I promise you’ll never use another clay mask again. Rating: 11/10 clay mask of my dreams 1 Get your hands on Go-To The Removalist, $48 for 65ml @ Mecca Cosmetica, 13/1 Rokeby Road, Subiaco.

When you know, you know

Yes, I am that person who, in my 20s, used to sleep in my make-up, eek, I know. But in later life I’ve learned that my skin loves to go to bed as clean as possible. That’s where this skin superhero comes in. Grab yourself a make-up remover pad, put some of this magical micellar water on it, swipe it across your face (including your eyes) and your skin will breathe deeply as it rests for the night makeup free. And the best bit? You don’t have to rinse it off afterwards. So simple! Years ago, this used to only be available in France, and now we can get it right here at Chemist Warehouse. 2 Très magnifique Bioderma Sensibio H20 micellar water, from $18.99 for 250ml, available @ Chemist Warehouse, 105 Rokeby Road, Subiaco.

Cheap as chips!

Just like all of you, dear readers, I love me a cheap face and body moisturiser that actually works. And this one’s a gem, a gem that I’ve often seen on the shelves and never ever looked at until a fabulous friend of mine, who looks ah-mazing and is ageing like a fine wine, recommended I give it a go.

Turns out it's light on the skin, fragrance-free and helps enhance elasticity and firmness all in one go… so, sign me up!

Sometimes in winter or with the change of seasons, I also get itchy skin, especially around my eyes, and as an extra added bonus, this Vitamin E cream really helps me give my skin a big moisture shot overnight so I wake up bright-eyed and ready to roll in the morning. 3 Invite Concentrated Vitamin E Cream, $10.99 for 100g @ Chemist Warehouse.
