Top blemish zapper

I don't really get blemishes, If I do I just leave them and they usually go on their own accord, if any leave their mark I use a dab of organic Balm my faves are MOA Green Balm, Balance Me Stellar Face Balm and Balm Balm Baby Balm. They have great healing powers and are often totally natural.

Face wipes yay or nay?

NAY, unless you are at a festival where a face wipes doubles up as a showers. If you have running water you have no excuse! stop being lazy.

High-end skin care or high-end make-up?

Neither, I think some high end skincare and make up is often smoke and mirrors, Invest in good ingredients regardless of cost. Just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's good and visa versa.

What’s the most unusual skin care product you've tried?

I used to work in a salon that used to get a lot of crazy treatments, such as snail face cream and  bull seaman treatment but I've never felt the need to try faddy products.

You’re in a  pharmacy and can only pick up one item – what is it? 

Petroleum jelly it's multi tasking and inexpensive, I love the Petroleum Free Jelly from Anita Grant as it has all the benefits without  side effects of petroleum (blocked pores and spots!)
