I do follow Caroline Hirons advice most of the time. I don't follow all of her advice all of the time, but the double cleanse advise is "double cleanse if wearing makeup and/or spf". It's good advice, as if you don't cleanse thoroughly in those case you will get spots.
A double cleanse could be using one product on your eyes, and one product (for one go-around) on your face. So it doesn't always need to be a full face-off cleanse x2 each time.
With any beauty products you haven't used, it is vital to patch test so you don't get a nasty reaction displayed across your face (and avoid any permanent damage).
I think there is a danger with QVC and beauty brands... QVC's relentless quest for more "new" and "exclusive" means that brands bring out some completely rubbish products to meet the need (anyone remember the Elemis Evening Blooms Dry Body Oil in the dark blue glass bottle which was in one year's Xmas TSV? Otherwise known as headache in a bottle... it never saw the light of day outside of that TSV. Then there were the short-lived AVON-inspired Liz Earle bath and body products).
We all need age and skin type appropriate cleansing and moisturising. Some like a toner - but what is a toner for? What it shouldn't be for is removing your makeup... or drying out your skin. If you want exfoliation, an acid toner... but it should be paired with a hydrating toner afterwards to make sure the exfoliation doesn't go too far. Alternatively go for an exfoliator you use as an event (perhaps followed by a good quality mask).
QVC (and inevitably the brand guest) will leave proper skincare advice behind in the thrust for sales of a massive volume TSV. Yes, it will suit all ages and all skintypes (it won't). Yes it's unisex (sometimes true). Yes, you need all the bits in the kit for your full regime... together with whatever upsell kits they've got to fill in the routine steps (no, you don't). Do you need an eye cream? Not necessarily... it rather depends on the texture of your face cream. Do you need a neck/dec cream? Again, not necessarily. Do you need oils and serums? Again, not necessarily.
Best thing to do is get to know your own skin. Touch it with clean hands, and use a good mirror to see and feel what it's about, on a regular basis. Have the confidence to decide on a day by day basis what your skin feels like and therefore what it needs.
Ignore all the "push-push-push" of the TSV presentations and only consider what your skin truly needs. If it is a range that your skin loves, and the products are ones you use and find beneficial most of the time, chances are you will get the value and be happy to buy it and get maximum use out of it.
I will be looking out on the day for the Advanced Eye product, which is a favourite of mine, but I won't be rushing for any TSV as they mostly get the PCMC in them, or the Oxygenating Night Cream and I rate neither product for my skin.
What would be nice, though, would be if Christine was presenting rather than them flying Keeley in. As it is likely to be Keeley, I most probably will have a browse on the website to see what's on offer and then decide what I'll buy, if anything.
