Skincare Wishlist: July

I haven't done one of these in months. However, since breaking up from university just over a month ago, I have been doing on average 30 hour weeks at my normally part-time job, so when I get paid on Friday I'll feel super-rich! This post should be titled 'What Catt intends to spend her money on', instead of 'Skincare Wishlist'! But then again, the former isn't quite so catchy!
So here is a list of products that after some research, I would very much like to purchase...


L-RLiquid Gold with Glycolic Acid, Alpha H £31 and Liquid Gold Smoothing and Perfecting Mask, Alpha H £46.

This month I'm hoping to get my acne cleared up completely, but I know that this is going to leave some redness, uneven texture, enlarged pores and possibly even scars. In the meantime, I still have to deal with the pesky spots and pimples, and am trying to find products which will help!
I have heard so much about this brand in regards to their dedication to acne-prone skins and the after-effects of acne, and these products in particular really excite me, since the first tackles enlarged pores (tick), and produces a more clearer and a more even skintone, whilst the latter exfoliates, freshens, clarifies, brightens the skin. All wonderful, and I have seen some before and after photographs on a particular blog which definitely shows improvement in skin texture after using a whole array of Alpha-H products. Her skin looks so radiant and glowing. And for that and all the reasons listed, these products must be mine soon!





Masque Crème aux Résines Tropicales, Sisley £60 (from John Lewis, with a 10% off offer).

I have been itching to try Sisley's skincare range, ever since I posted a post similar to this one with the Sisley 'All Day, All Year' face cream. I still haven't bought this product due to it's extortionate price (a poor university student can't really justify £199, sorry). The price of this product is quite high as well, it is only £60, but it's only a 60ml tube. But that doesn't stop every part of my body yearning to get my hands on it!
This facial mask aims to mattify the skin, eliminate excess sebum, minimise the untimely appearance of blemishes and blackheads and tighten skin pores. These are all my problems areas, so that is why this mask is so appealing!
It contains all sorts of fancy ingredients, including: tropical resins (to help balance and purify), plantain (which purifies and softens), zinc (which also purifies and regulates sebum production), and rosemary (which tones and stimulates the skin).
What I like about this mask is that you can use it as a regular mask (put on face, wash off face), but you can also leave it on overnight!
WANTSIE!

Blemish and Age Defense Serum, SkinCeuticals £75.

I hear so many fantastic things about SkinCeuticals all the time, and it's a wonder why I haven't bought anything from them yet! I need to get my backside into gear.
I pulled the following quote from the SkinCeuticals website, since it makes it easier for you to understand why I need this in my life!

'Clinical studies on products from the Blemish + Age range showed significant improvements in inflammatory and non-inflammatory blemishes, fine lines, and uneven skin tone, while displaying exceptional tolerance and lack of side effects. Blemish + Age Defense is a highly tolerable, efficient treatment for aging, blemish-prone skin.'
Need I say more?! Considering I am a blemish-prone person and am super freaked out about ageing whilst sometimes suffering from intolerant skin, I think I definitely need this in my beauty routine!

betaCleanse, Medik8 £22.

I know well of the Medik8, since I have been eyeing up their Dermaroller ever since I posted about it earlier this year (it's still on my wishlist).
I know their a brand that focus on scientific research (much like SkinCeuticals) regarding dermatological treatments, and I have a great deal of respect for something that's founded on research and clinical trials etc.
And since I am struggling with acne, I have been eyeing up this beauty. Containing powerful and well known anti-acne ingredients like salicylic acid, niacinamide and tea-tree, I am expecting great things from this product! Also, the product is paraben-free, SLS-free, and perfume-free.
