Dirty Works Facial Skincare - Review

Hello everyone!

Today I am going to be reviewing two products from the Dirty Works skincare range. I'm going to be sharing my thoughts on the Wake Up Call Face Wash and the Blemish Buster 2 in 1 Scrub + Mask*.
These products are available from Sainsbury's or the Dirty Works website (which is linked above.)

Blemish Buster 2 in 1 Scrub + Mask 125ml* (£4.99) more info

This product reminds me of the Soap & Glory Scrub Your Nose In It Face Scrub and Mask, it's similar in colour and texture.
I have only used this product a handful of times as I don't like to over exfoliate my face and after just one use of this scrub my face felt very clean and smooth! 

I personally prefer to use this as a mask rather than a scrub as I like the cooling sensation it gives when leaving it on, it feels nice and refreshing on the skin. I use it as a mask 2 times a week and have seen a noticeable change in my complexion, my skin looks brighter and my pores are looking more reduced.

This product is designed to get rid of spots and unclog blocked pores and for me I think this product achieves that.

Directions

Scrub -

1. Apply a small amount of product to face. 
2. Massage in circular motions paying close attention to the t-zone area.
3. Rinse with warm water.

Mask -

1. Apply a thin layer over whole face, massage for 30 seconds. 
2. Leave for 5 minutes.
3. Rinse with warm water.

Summary 

Pros -

• Nice gritty consistency that helps to give a deep cleanse, preventing more spots from forming. 
• It has a Kaolin mineral clay base which is known for its excellent absorbent qualities, this helps to draw out impurities and toxins in the skin whilst absorbing excess sebum.
• A little goes a long way.
• Lovely packaging.
• Affordable

Cons -

• The smell of the product doesn't blow me away but it's pleasant and fresh!

I have been using this product twice a day, once in the morning and once at night for the past month or so.
I have to say it isn't the best face wash I have tried but it still does a good job of removing make-up and leaving my skin feeling clean and fresh.

I think the reason I didn't enjoy using this product so much is down to my skin type rather than the product itself, as I do tend to breakout easily and at times my face can feel tight and irritated by certain products.

Directions

1. Massage on to damp skin.
2. Rinse with warm water

Summary

Pros-

• I like that this product is cheap and easily available, the packaging is similar to that of Soap & Glory which is also a plus point. 
• Contains Cotton Seed Oil which is rich in Vitamin E and Papaya extract which has radiance boosting properties.
• Lovely packaging.
• Affordable.

Cons- 

• The consistency of the product is probably what I like the least about this face wash, it is more of a soapy texture rather than a foam. 
• Similar to the scrub, the smell of the product isn't great compared to other face washes out there but it is still pleasant enough.

* Disclaimer PR samples - My opinions are still 100% honest.
