5 affordable ways to keep your skin healthy and looking young!

Let’s face it, who wants to have wrinkles and dull skin?!? 

The fantastic thing is, and it’s still very much a secret! YOU DON’T NEED TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON SKIN CARE PRODUCTS or get skins injections, when there are easier, less invasive and much more affordable ways to still have amazing skin! 

Here is the secret! (Shhhhhh!!!! Don’t tell anyone!!!! ;) 


Tip #1 Sun protection…
It’s important to always wear sun screen! Put it on daily! Especially on your face! (And anywhere else you want to put it hehe)..   as one of the main causes of wrinkles and brown spots, is.. you guessed it… THE SUN. 

Wearing a foundation or a lotion which is classified SPF 15+ or higher, is also great to protect your skin. 

Although you may not get that lovely tan, by reducing your daily sun exposure, sunscreen allows your skin time to heal and your immune system the chance to repair any existing damage. 

Ladies, this is of primary importance!


Tip #2 Water in-take…
Drink water!!!!!! This is not only important for your skin but its also important for your whole body!

Drinking at least 8 glasses a day (yes, I said 8!!), will help get rid the body and skin of all the ugly toxins. 

By increasing your water intake, your skin will have a more radiant glow (come on ladies, who doesn’t want that?!?!), it will feel more hydrated and much firmer and plumper. 

Nothing will happen overnight, but a good couple of weeks of increasing your water intake should be enough for you to see how hydration affects the biggest organ on your whole body, your skin!


Tip #3 Keep your face clean… 
It's important to wash your face twice daily to remove all those yukky impurities, dead skin cells, and any excess oil from the surface of your skin. 

Washing even more often than twice daily may not even necessarily be better for it; it could even do more harm than good! 

Use warm water, not too hot and a mild facial cleanser. 

Using a harsh soap (like deodorant body soap) can hurt the already inflamed skin and can even lead to more irritation! 

Always rinse well, and then dry your face with a clean towel (soft towels are even better :) 

And here’s a handy tip ladies…. After drying, toss the used towel in the laundry hamper, not back on the towel rack as as dirty towels can spread bacteria!


Tip #4 Use a moisturiser…. 
I can’t say this one enough….. M O I S T U R I S E!!!!

Most people do not realise the importance of moisturising their skin daily! 

Moisturise at least twice per day, morning and evening. No matter what your skin type, whether dry, oily or sensitive, you shouldn't skip your moisturising step in your daily skin care routine. 

Leaving it out might quickly cause redness or flaking, and in time it can allow wrinkles and other signs of ageing to show up in your skin even earlier than they should have! 

So prevent this ladies! Add moisture to your skin at least morning and night!



Tip #5 Beauty Sleep….
Can’t stress this one enough because I know we’re all busy! But… 
GET YOUR BEAUTY SLEEP LADIES!!!!

The expression exists for a reason! Getting at least 7 hours of solid sleep per night can makes a huge difference in the appearance and health of your skin. 

Lets get scientific, the stress hormone Cortisol, ages the skin and can also cause you acne. Your sleep will reduce the level of cortisol in your body. 

So from science to maths! haha this leads us to a VERY simple equation: 

Sleep = younger, clearer skin. 


Now YOU know the secrets too!

Yours in beautiful skin,
