Hey :) Today i'm going to share with you my favourite skin care products, tips & some of my fave makeup products to create a natural makeup look ;) First of all I'm going to say that I'm very lucky with my skin but that doesn't go to say I don't look after it or treat it any differently. And for any younger readers out there don't feel like you MUST wear makeup everyday. I think talking about makeup products is great but we should also focus on cleansing your skin because at the end of the day you are only born with one face and we should look after it the best we can.
MY FAVOURITE SKINCARE PRODUCTS:
I find myself mix & matching my skin care products all the time, but I will say sticking to one brand can help a lot when it comes to repurchasing them ;) Some I recommend are; Lush, Body Shop, Nspa, Simple, Clean & Clear, Glossier (more of a luxury brand), Nivea.
SKINCARE TIPS:
- WASH YOUR MAKEUP BRUSHES -
I think it's very easy to forget this step, but washing your makeup brushes is very important. The brushes hold bacteria from your face, hands, products and anything else (eww :/ ). I would say wash them once a week if you use them regularly, if not every 2 weeks.. depending on how much you use them your'll start to learn when to wash them.
I like to use shampoo to wash my brushes. I put a small drop in my hand, add water and just swirl them in my hand and it works really well.
- TAKE YOUR MAKEUP OFF BEFORE BED -
This is something i've always done because to be honest I can't think of anything worse. There's no where for your makeup to go when your sleeping than into your pores (or your pillow) which brings you more spots.
- CLEANSE/TONE YOUR SKIN -
Using a toner is something i've also done for a long time too. I remember at sleepovers my friends would say 'what are you doing' but it just helps to take the remains of your makeup off that you missed without realizing because it does happen.
- DRINK MORE WATER -
I can't explain to you how much drinking water helps your skin! If you've never tried drinking more water than usual please give it a go, I promise your skin will thank you for it when you wake up the next day :)
- HAVE A SKINCARE ROUTINE -
Whether this means you going up to boots/superdrug and experimenting with different skincare brands and choosing some out that you like..do it! My favourite skincare brands are: Clean & Clear | NSPA | Simple.
I think Simple Skincare has to be my favourite, their products are so cheap and really good for sensitive skin so if your looking for some new skincare and haven't given simple a try yet then you should ;)
If you get into the routine of using your products daily then you should help your skin that bit more in no time :)
