Skin Care Tips

Looking after your skin is very important. It's the biggest organisms that we have, and often is the main thing that causes us issues. Whether it's issues like dry skin, oily skin or blemish prone skin, lots of people in the world have a issues with their skin. 

My skin isn't perfect, I have my flaws. I have suffer with breakouts and have large pores. The skin on my upper arms can become dry for no apparent reason. 

Here's a few tips on skin care: 

- Shea butter can be used to help soften skin & reduce inflammation. Also it can help the appearance of scars. 

- Suffer with ingrown hairs? The best solution for this to exfoliate your skin to remove the dead skin cell which can cause the ingrowing hairs! 

- Shaving can also cause ingrowing hairs. I find that the best thing to do is to exfoliate the skin before you've shaved. With waxing, I recommend exfoliating the day before you are going to wax. Make sure you are not shaving with a dull razor, dull or old razors can cause more harm than good! 

- Reducing the amount of sugary drink in take, this help with the reducing the amount of blemishes you develop. Replace sugary drinks with water, water is your best friend for you skin! Try to drink around 2 litres of water per day. If you are going to drink sugary drinks like coke or fanta then equal it out by drinking the same amount of water as you do fizzy.

- Wanting to reduce the appearance and redness of acne breakouts then place a ice cubes on the area. 

- Suffering with random breakouts of acne, it could be that your makeup brushes or sponges are needing to be cleaned. Brushes and sponges are a breeding ground for bacteria. When left uncleaned the bacteria will just multiply and cause problems. So clean your brushes and sponges, girls! 

- Eating fatty acids will help your skin appearance. Helping your skin or look a bit plumper and younger. Getting out there and start eating things such as salmon and avocados.

- Eating foods that are high in amino acids will help with the collagen production within the body. 

- When moisturising your body try and use moisturisers which don't have a scent to them. Yes, I know I'm a sucker for scented things, however, the perfume within the moisturiser can affect the PH level within the skin causing irritation and redness.
