Now I have been waiting for the new Botanics ranges for absolutely ages! As a big fan of their products  couldn't wait! So when I was in Boots the other day, I decided to purchase this Rosewater Toning Spritz.

And I have to say after using this for around a week, I am in love with it!

A lot of people have been comparing this to the Caudalie Beauty Elixir, and since I don't own the Beauty Elixir I can't really comment but this is how I'd imagine the Beauty Elixir to be, aha! Basically this is a spray toner that you can either apply directly to your face or spray onto a cotton pad and wipe that over your face. It has a really lovely smell and feels really refreshing on your skin, it hasn't replaced my evening toner which is The Body Shop's Seaweed Clearing Toner. However instead I use this after I've washed my face in the morning as it just makes it feel really refreshed and awake!

Hey guys, 

The body shop is one of my favourite places to get skincare products, it's not too expensive and I find the majority of products are really good quality.

These are some of the products I use in my daily routine; firstly an absolute staple in my routine in this Seaweed Clarifying Toner for Combination/Oily skin. Basically this toner is an absolute dream, it's very gentle on the skin yet still gets rid of all the dirt and impurities. I used to use the Tea Tree Toner however I found this way too harsh but I'll talk more about that later.

I wash my face once in the morning and once in the evening. In the morning I use Deep Cleansing Facial Wash just get rid of any shine from overnight, then in the evening I use an exfoliator, my favourite is the Seaweed Pore-Cleansing Facial Exfoliator as it has a lot of tiny bits in which I find exfoliates the best and leaves my skin smooth. However I also use the Tea Tree Blackhead Exfoliating when I have some more problem areas as I find the bits in it are bigger but there's less of them.

If I have any spots I also dab on a bit of Tea Tree oil and I find that it dries them out really quickly!

Up until a few months ago I was using the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner, and I found that although my face felt really clean after I used it I found that I was getting more and more breakouts. At first I blamed these on other products and maybe the fact that I wasn't eating as healthily as I could but I was reading something a while ago that was talking about Alcohol Denat in products and how although in the short term it may make skin seem better/less oily in the long-term you become more prone to breakouts, especially if you have blemish prone skin. And then I was even more shocked to find Alcohol Denat was in the majority of the Tea Tree range at the Body Shop. I thought Body Shop was meant to use really good and natural ingredients, so I immediately stopped using it and moved onto the Seaweed Clarifying Toner, which I had used years ago, and I have found that my skin has vastly improved.

Sorry for the long ramble but I hope this may have been helpful in some way, are there any Body Shop skincare products you've tried?
