The wonderful Samantha from All The Buzz has organised an 8 week challenge for us Irish beauty bloggers, called the Best of Beauty. Every Thursday evening at 7pm Irish time we'll all put up our posts, if you're interested in keeping up with us all then you can follow along on twitter as we'll be using the #BOBBlogChallenge. This week we're looking at ultimate skin saviours or skincare products you can't live without.
I'm big into my skincare so this one is definitely my cup of tea, the only problem is narrowing the list down!
1) Trilogy Rosehip Oil
I wrote a full review of this HERE so I won't go into too much detail but this is one of my more recent favourites. I'm always on the hunt for a good serum and although this is an oil, it feels so comforting that it may as well actually be a serum. Also known for it's ability to repair the skin as well as providing hydration, this is an all round miracle product for me.

2) Clarins Beauty Flash Balm
I've used this throughout most of my twenties; it's seen me through sleepless nights, hangovers, lots of sick days, many Winters and plenty of early mornings in college and work. At the moment I'm using this as a primer but the basic idea is that it brightens, tightens and moisturises the skin, leaving it looking fresh and rested. I wouldn't be without a tube of it now, my skin loves it far too much.
3) Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask
I love this stuff. It is, as the name would suggest, an overnight treatment to provide super moisturisation for the skin. I apply a layer to cleansed skin and by morning it's completely been absorbed and will have left my skin glowing and looking amazing. I genuinely can't recommend it enough!
4) Tea Tree Oil
4) Tea Tree Oil
It's unusual enough that I would get a spot these days but if I do, I generally reach for a clean cotton bud and some tea tree oil, which I apply to the area. This helps to dry up the spot (unpleasant, I know) and helps it heal a bit quicker. I'd also have included my Eve Lom Dynaspot (review HERE) but I've lost it around the house somewhere. Gah.
5) Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic
While I actually love the Liz Earle cleanser, I know for sure that if I never purchase it again I'll still keep coming back to the toner from the same range. As I have dry/sensitive skin, I need a toner sans alcohol (surprisingly rare) but one that still freshens my skin after cleansing, while soothing and toning and for me, this is perfect. It also smells AMAZING.
6) La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5
I bought my first tube of this last year when my skin needed serious repair; I don't use it on my face but apply it liberally to dry patches (elbows, knees, heels etc) and it can also be used on irritated (but not broken) skin. I find myself reaching for this a lot as I tend to have dry, sensitive skin all over so this is a real necessity for me.
I'm currently trying out a gazillion (official quantity) different cleansers and moisturisers and I'm probably yet to find my all time favourite so I'm not mentioning those here but if you want more skincare ideas, there's a good selection of posts there on the right under the skincare tab.
Let me know in the comments what your own skincare saviours are and if any of these make your hit-list!
