When it comes to your skin it's not as straightforward as you think. It takes time and a lot of trial and error. Learning exactly what your skin needs to maintain a healthy skin barrier is the most important part. When the barrier is impaired, acne, pigmentation and dullness can appear. Sometimes even keeping it simple is the most effective method you can choose. It took me a very long time to create a skincare routine I feel somewhat comfortable with.
SPF is something I am so adamant on especially when I'm on holiday or exposed to the sun. I always make sure to wear SPF every single day weather it's raining or the sun is shining. Up to 80% of the sunβs rays can pass through clouds so it's best to always apply. My preference is a broad spectrum of SPF50, mineral is best but I don't mind using chemical SPF either. Something also to bear in mind is the importance of re-applying SPF throughout the day to maximise protection from fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and skin cancers of course. A spray on SPF comes in handy especially if you're wearing makeup throughout the day. Some of my favourite SPFβs are the Biore UV watery essence, Bondi sands face SPF50, Ultra Sun face tinted SPF50 [best for pigmentation] and Ultra Violette hydrating body and hand sunscreen SPF50 plus.
How cute are these matcha eye patches, i love to use them after a flight or before an event to hydrate and refresh my under eyes, they're also such a lifesaver during the cold winter months where i get super dry under my eyes.
The star of the show- Dior's prestige rose micro serum.
Have you tried adjusting your skincare routine throughout the different seasons? It's an essential part of maintaining glowing skin all year round. Increased sunlight and humidity can cause certain skin changes.
I've listed some changes you can make you to your skincare routine to keep your complexion clear and glowing.
As the weather warms up you may find that your skin typically becomes oilier, and that you produce much more sweat throughout the day causing your skin to become more prone to acne, as pores become clogged with impurities, sweat and oil during the day. Try using a deeper exfoliant a couple of times a week to aid in removing dead skin cells and impurities to prevent blemishes and help promote an even skin tone.
In the winter itβs important to use a thicker facial moisturiser to maintain hydration levels and prevent dryness. During the summer lighter formulas like gel formulas are much more effective and is enough to lock in moisture throughout the day to keep your skin looking fresh.
We all know the importance of using Spf every single day despite the weather conditions however summer is when you need to be really making sure you are consistent, reapplying and using a strong Spf. With more prolonged exposure to the sun, itβs important to be using a minimum of factor 30 SPF, and factor 50 if possible. Tinted sunscreens are my personal favourite as they help with pigmentation from the sun.
Hot summer days are glorious but they can cause the skin to become easily dehydrated, so itβs important to retain as much moisture as possible. A great way of doing this is to use a hydrating mask 1-2 times a week in order to stay nourished, moisturised and plump. Perfect for that summer glow!
Using products that are rich in antioxidants is a key way of further protecting your skin during the summer. Antioxidants stimulate collagen production and help to protect the skin from environmental aggressors and pollutants. Keeping your skin protected as you spend more time outside is essential to prevent premature ageing and damage.
Try out a uv hair protection spray for your hair to prevent a faded colour and straw like texture.
Harsh UV rays damage the hair's cuticle layer and harm hair keratin levels. Keratin is the protein in your hair that makes it look shiny and healthy. Without keratin, our hair is left sun-damaged and dull. Products like sun protection spray for hair create a barrier between the sun rays and the hair.
Luxury skincare worth your money. Chanel Sublimage eye cream and their hydra beauty. Olaplex No.7 for the hair and Tom Ford oil for luminous legs.
Vichy mineral 89 hyaluronic acid serum from Boots for ultimate hydration of course.
My most recent beauty purchases. CORSRX snail mucin since it's my favourite. Garnier micellar water to remove makeup. More SPF and a scalp exfoliator.
Currently loving this UAE based supplement brand called Rite, gummies that are vegan friendly and made with all natural ingredients, super yummy too!
