Ok, I thought I would make this thread for you guys to share your beauty secrets :p
Here's a few of mine:
- To improve your complexion invest in a good exfoliator that can be used both morning and night, a good product I've started using is "Clearasil Ultra - Deep pore treatment scrub" however if you have more sensitive skin you might go for something with less of an abrasion, they do have other scrubs for sensitive skin
When you use the product, wet your face and apply the product in gentle circular motions, this might sound strange but you can also use a soft toothpaste (be very careful not to be too rough to your skin)
- Moisturise regularly, if you have spots that have gone dark, a moisturiser with Vitamin E could possibly help, invest in a good moisturiser that doesn't leave your face feeling oily and greasy. I use "Nivea Visage - Light daily moisture cream"
- Another good product I've been using recently is "Loreal True Match" foundation, before I found foundations a pain, naturally I'm quite pale with a slight tan, if I brought a foundation it would always leave my face looking a different colour to the rest of me (usually orange
) even the lightest shade but the Ivory didn't.
It easily blends and evens the skin and one squirt of the dispenser is more than enough for the entire face, it's not sticky like some liquid foundations are, I've been used to using matte mousses and this was my last attempt at trying a find a foundation, it was actually my boyfriend that picked it so he'll be coming with me more often (much to his delight
) Once done dust with a translucent powder to set.
- If you suffer from dry skin then Bodyshops body butters are fantastic, they have a range of different fruity butters that smell good enough to eat, I've tried the mango, this time it was a choice between the papaya or passion fruit, I went with passion fruit and I just love it, it's not even a chore to moisturise now.
These products work perfect for me, but don't go out buying them based on my reviews alone, sadly not all products are suitable for everybody, and can be expensive.
