Sunday Riley has been a brand that I have always wanted to try. I have heard so many great things about their products and how you will see instant results. Their Martian toner has been on my list of things to try for awhile now. I came across this product while watching one of Zoella's monthly favorites videos.  She was raving about how this product has made a huge difference to her skin. I have watched Zoella for years and she has always been open about her skin issues and I have always felt we had similar skin types. So when she talked about how this product made her skin clear up, I had to go try it out myself. Sunday Riley has been creating high-performance products that create instant results that will have a long-term payoff. There is a large range of products that will suit any skin type. From cleansers, moisturizers and facial oils, there is something available for everyone.

In past posts, I have talked about all of my recent skin issues and I am still trying to figure out how to get my skin back to normal. With graduation right around the corner, I have been experiencing really bad breakouts due to stress and my skin has been oiler than usual. I regularly see a dermatologist so I have switched up my skin care routine a little bit since I have been using the same products for years. The Martian toner has made a huge difference to the appearance of my skin. This toner comes out as a cooling gel and as you massage it into the skin, it turns to water. This toner helps clarify, remove oil and tighten pores to help mattify the skin. Bentonite clay is used to help clarify and tighten pores by pulling out oil and pore-clogging debris. This ingredient also helps set your foundation since it keeps oil at bay. Marshmallow extract is used to help soothe the skin and reduce redness. Cucumber, green tea and witch hazel are all used in this product to help tone and tighten the skin. The final main ingredient is manuka which is used to keep the skin clear. I apply this product twice a day after I cleanse my skin. I have only been using it for a week and I already see a difference! I was getting really frustrated with how oily my skin has been and my makeup would break up only a few hours after application. This toner has helped control the oil of my skin and I have noticed my makeup has lasted way longer. I also love how much smaller my pores have gotten from this product. The full size bottle costs $55, which is the main reason why I held off purchasing it for awhile. When I was at Sephora in JcPenny, I saw a smaller bottle that was only $25! Which isn't bad for how pricey this brand is. Even though I have only used this product for a week, I already know it is going to be a permanent part of my skincare routine. I have already seen a difference in my skin in such a short period of time, and I can't wait to see how my skin looks the longer I use this toner!
