Kiehls Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion (250ml/ £16.50)

"This unique formulation has been created for use after shaving or on oily prone areas."

As I have blemish prone skin I love it when I find something that really helps so I thought I'd share my thoughts about this today. Now I do not use this everyday as it is really strong and very drying on the skin (it doesn't cause dry patches or flaking, just a dry tight feeling) but it is great for very angry spots or problem areas. I wouldn't apply this to my whole face, just where it is needed and it then dries up that area while soothing and preventing any further breakouts. A little goes a really long way with this and even though it smells really strong it is gentle on the skin, doesn't sting or cause irritation at all like a lot of drug store brands tend to do. I recommend this to those who suffer with bad blemishes, hormonal breakouts and generally oily skin, it is well worth the money in my book.

Have you tried it?

As you guys know if you have been reading my posts for a while, I often have very problematic skin (excess oil leading to spots/blemishes/breakouts) and lately I have been really taking interest in any lotions and potions that might help. Kiehl's have some really great offerings for all skin types and I've really been into their products recently. The history behind the brand assures me that their products are worth the hype and worth the price tag. 

I have been researching a lot of products from all their different ranges, so the other day I thought I'd pop in and see what took my fancy.

I was torn between the Blue Herbal Spot Treatment and the Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion, I spoke to the lady in the store and she explained that this (above, the Blue Herbal Spot Treatment) would be more suitable for my purpose. I have certain areas on my face that are worse than others and this is stronger so hopefully it'll be great, she said they work really well together so I might go back for the astringent in the future.

Whilst I was there I picked up a few samples of other products I was wanting to try, the staff in Kiehl's are so friendly and willing to help, the ladies suggested a toner to try, the Calendula Herbal Extract Toner so I got 2 sachets of that, and I had heard so much about the Ultra Facial Moisturiser so I got a few sachets of that too. Can't wait to try everything out, I will report back when I have.

Can you recommend any Kiehl's goodies?
