About Me

 Hey!

My name is Victoria and I am a Skincare Junkie.

When I was a teenager I suffered with severely oily, acne-prone skin. Yet, once birth control was prescribed by my GP, the acne began to subside. I used to use the Neutrogena cleanser for oily skin and a moisturiser I don't even remember (probably Neutrogena too).

After around two years of buying skincare formulated for oily skin, I discovered that my birth control had also changed my skin type. My skin was no longer extremely oily, but it was now extremely dry.

I finished the products I was currently using and switched to Clinique's range for very dry to dry skin. The Extra Mild Cleanser, Take the Day Off Balm, Moisture Surge Moisturiser, Twice a Day Exfoliating Toner. And it worked, for a while.

I am now twenty-two, and for the past few years my skin has finally settled on a skin type. Combination leaning dry. A very common yet infuriating skin type. I have researched all the different ingredients and products that work best for combination to dry skin, and have an extremely long list of 'Must Tries'.

I created this blog as a place to share my skincare journey with other Skincare Junkies, as well as giving and receiving recommendations of specific products and brands.
