Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Cleanser & Toner by Grace Cole England

January 19, 2016

Tea Tree & Witch Hazel by Grace Cole England

Foaming Facial Wash & Balancing Cleansing Tonic

Cost:  Foaming Facial Wash – $7.99 and Balancing Cleansing Tonic – $7.99 (items bought in-store at Chemist Warehouse)

Recently I bought these two new skin care products just to test out and see what they were like based on their budget price and product quality but more so because they claim to promote two major ingredients: tea tree and witch hazel and also because that its infused with other natural extracts & that its supposedly ideal for every skin type.

The directions on the bottle say to “gently massage onto a wet skin…”

I disagree.

Since the product has enough moisture in it, I really felt that I didn’t need to pre-wet my face.  I found that once I did that and  then applied the foam, the product just didn’t work as well as it should. For me, by wetting the face, it just diluted the product & I wouldn’t get the benefits of the cleanser by doing it this way. It was quite disappointing.

In actual fact I was having to apply the foam and cleanse my face three times before the product actually started to work and only then I could just see that my face was starting to look ‘clean and glowing’. 

The next day I decided not to pre-wet my face & just pumped the foam a few times into my hands, applied it to my face (staying away from the eyes of course!) and used the ball tips of my fingers to rub it on all the areas in a circle motion. By doing this, you’re actually energising the skin, reactivating the blood flow which then helps the skin to renew its cellsI promise you, it makes a big difference to your skin over a couple weeks. Your skin looks good!

After I started to just apply the foam to my face, I saw a big difference and the benefits of the product immediately!

Now, the toner I love.

You spray the toner all over your face, neck and upper chest area (in fancy terms, the décolletage area). In most cases, you will feel a slight tingle all over straight away as the pores are starting to tighten up.

Good toners are meant to work pretty quickly on the skin. They are meant to tighten those pores & take away any trace of impurities and/or excess oil; it also helps to prepare your skin for the application of serum (optional) and moisturiser.

Final Verdict

After a month of using these products, I’m actually impressed with them both & do recommend them. The cleanser made my face feel so clean & fresh & the toner helped to brighten up my face and glow. I  do think it can compete with a few of the bigger brands and you will notice your skin improving after the first week .

Bonus points to take note:

  • Cost price: so good if you’re on a tight budget
  • Ingredients: its made from natural ingredients, its paraben & SLS free and the tea tree is really good for getting rid of black heads and skin breakouts (!)
  • The products will last up to five weeks or more before you run out

#flashback | This was one of my very favourite pho #flashback | This was one of my very favourite photoshoots I did with @tullylovesaphoto. I felt free, confident, sexy, strong & I had belief in myself that I could be just as good as any top influencer/blogger. But a year after that photo session, my ongoing battle with severe anxiety became excruciatingly worse over time. I lost all belief, my self confidence disappeared, I started to hate the way I looked & I started to hide from friends, family & the world... to be honest I felt like walking away & giving up my blog and IG; I thought no one would care & I'm not good at what I do anyway... but I stayed.

It's been a long journey to get back. I'm not completely there 100% but I am making slow baby steps. I take each day as it comes. Some days are good & I think, "the Queen is back!" but then something can trigger me & I am back to panicking, hyperventilating, negative thoughts, and just wanting to hide. The difference this time is I don't want to walk away. I want to come back & do/show what I love. 

And that is fashion, skincare, photoshoots, striking a pose ha-ha!! doing my car karaoke sessions, and so much more- just being me. I hope you all can be patient, and stay with me. A butterfly is re-emerging 🦋 #butterfly #mentalhealthsupport #anxietysucks

It's been a long time since I did an outfit shot & It's been a long time since I did an outfit shot & many of you know I suffer terribly from severe anxiety & depression. And for the past year, my self-esteem, self-confidence, self-belief has bungee jumped severely way way WAY downnnnnnnn low...!

I am at a constant inner war battle within myself, and my self worth. But today is the first step forward doing an outfit shot. 

Do I like this photo or outfit? Meh! 🤔 I am showing me in this present moment. A vulnerable, fragile and insecure me but one who is slowly, desperately: trying. And by doing that, I'm actually empowering my spirit & soul. By TRYING. I'm not, and will not allow my mental health issues to define, me. 

So, once upon a time I only wanted to show only the good photos that I liked to be shown on my blog/social media... I was afraid to show (reveal) my human flaws, my icky shots when I felt shitty, ugly, old(er), bloated, fragile (mental health) moments. Not anymore.

Today I make a conscious decision to show what the day is really like for me. In all its beauty: the good, the bad and the (OMG what was she thinking) ugly; but in all its glory. Its a positive day.

Outfit: turtle neck jumper from Kmart Australia , cargo tartan pants & knee high boots from PrettyLittleThing.com, handbag from Salvos Stores
