So, this is my first blog post...how exciting!! For my first post I want to talk about skin care and important daily regimes. Since I've been working in beauty I have really noticed the importance of having a skin regime to keep up. Taking care of your skin is essential...you have it for life remember!
If you are anything like me, you may sometimes get down about your skin. Why wont these spots go? Why am I breaking out? Why is my skin tone so uneven? The main thing to remember is that we all have our flaws, lets be honest...no ones skin is flawless, so don't panic! Taking proper care of your skin can help aid these flaws that we hate so much.
So here is a few tips that I use myself!
Skin Care Regime
Wash face with facial wash or cleanser- This step is essential, as it acts as the superficial cleanse, getting rid of any lingering dirt, makeup or excess oil on the skin. You can use any face wash you like. For me I have been using Boots own tea tree and witch hazel foaming facial wash which is FABULOUS! It has spot bacteria fighting ingredients, so if you are prone to breakouts like myself then I really recommend this affordable, great product!

Exfoliate/Facial scrub- This step can be used twice a week with a harsher product, or every day with a more gentle scrub depending on how sensitive your skin is. Exfoliation will help get deeper into the skin, removing any dead skin cells allowing new healthy, glowing skin to form through to the surface. It will get even deeper dirt or bacteria out of the pores, and open them up which is great for anyone prone to blocked pores or pimples. My skin has improved drastically since I have started exfoliating, everyone must do it!! I use the Nuetrogena spot control daily face scrub which smells gorgeous, it is gentle enough not to irritate the skin but works amazingly! Click here to take a look at this amazing product!
TONE!! - Toning is a MUST after exfoliating. In exfoliation we are opening up our pores, if we leave them open for too long then more dirt and bacteria will enter, therefore we need to close up the pores again by tightening the pores...which is what toner does! Toning leaves the skin feeling extra clean and fresh, I love it! I have been using Boots tea tree and witch hazel toning lotion which is amazing as it also helps reduce any current spots you have. Highly recommend!!
Mask- A mask can be used once a week. All face masks do different things, so find one that suits you best and suits the outcome you want form your skin. I personally use yet again the tea tree and witch hazel peel off face mask (can you tell I love these products yet?!) this particular mask is aimed to unclog your pores from any nasty dirt and bacteria that is lingering deep down. When you peel it off you feel like you have brand new skin, it is incredible!
MOISTURISE!- We must all moisturise! This is especially important after we have exfoliated and toned as it can leave our skin feeling a little tight, so moisturising helps to loosen it up again and feel gorgeously smooth, like a baby's bum! If you have oily skin, or prone to breakouts I strongly suggest using an OIL FREE moisturiser as too much of our natural oil (sebum) that we produce can cause pimples and breakouts; so we definitely do not want to be adding more oil to the face!
After studying the anatomy of the skin and performing facials on clients I feel that this routine for skin care is a must if you want glowing, healthy skin. There are other factors such as lifestyle changes that will also benefit the skin, which I will talk about in another blog post.
I hope this has helped or interested anyone looking to improve their skin, I would love to know your thoughts! Make sure to follow me for my next post my lovely's! <3
