Hey there! So today I thought I would have a little chat about one of my favourite topics, skincare, and my tips for looking after it in natural ways which will benefit your skin. I realise that I am in no way a "skincare expert", but when my skin isn't feeling it's best, this maybe due to stress, tiredness or "that time of the month", I follow these tips and they help it, so hopefully they will be beneficial for you too.
Tip 1: Wear make-up minimally
When you're skin isn't looking or feeling too great it's probably because it's being very sensitive, and by shoving make-up onto your face will just make matters worse. Being still in school I rarely wear make-up and when I do I still wear it very minimally. But if you're someone who wears it on a regular basis just tone down how much you're putting on, obviously this just concerns base make-up like foundation, concealer, powder etc. If you're still desperate to wear some make-up (because I know some people just like the feeling of putting it on) stick to a little bit of concealer as a base, and unless you've got problems around you're eyes probably some mascara and eyeshadow too. My favourite concealer to wear is the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer, this concealer is really great at making your under eye area look a little more awake and also hide whatever blemishes you may have, without irritating the skin. It's really good value too being a drugstore product, which is always a plus.
Tip 2: Drink lots of water and non caffeinated drinks
Water is such a good thing to drink when you're skin is not so good, it's 100% natural and detoxes your body inside and out, making you feel and look glowier, if that makes sense. I know a lot of people aren't a fan of straight up water, so a way of making your water taste a little bit better is by adding some slices of lime. By adding lime it makes your water taste a little more citrusy and interesting. Another drink I'd recommend drinking is a sort of green tea instead of your classic English Breakfast which contains lots of caffeine which just goes straight to your skin giving you spots. My favourite sort of non caffeinated tea is Peppermint tea, and in particular the Pukka Three Mint Tea, it tastes so yummy and minty, and is a great thing to drink to make your skin look a little clearer.
Tip 3: Use more natural products on your face
When it comes to face masks there is one brand I look to; Lush. Their face masks are natural, and made out of ingredients which will be sure to benefit you're skin. One of my favourite face masks from Lush is Catastrophe Cosmetic, which is calming, cleansing and moisturising for your skin. It is packed full of blueberries, calamine, chamomile, rose and almond oils, to sooth and soften your skin. It's also really amazing at just cleansing your skin and getting rid of all the bacteria in it. Another product I love using from Lush is Movis and it's lush's only facial soap. It is full of cocoa butter, wheatgerm oil, hop oil and coconut oil to soften and exfoliate your skin with a cleansing feel. In general Lush is known to make really natural products which will benefit your body, so I'd definitely recommend checking the shop out.
