The weekend is here, it's February and it's dull weather outside, completely dark by 4.15 in the afternoon but you still want to glow, look bright like you've just returned from a great holiday and you are buzzing!
You can achieve this by getting rid of tired eyes. Dark circles can strike at any age and are due to a combination of dehydration and hyper-pigmentation and inflammation as well as of course genetics! "Even Better Eyes" dark circle corrector at 28 pounds from clinique.co.uk instantly covers the shadow, but also lightens the skin with brightening Vitamin C and protects against irritation with green tea extract.
After a summer of air-con, all that dry air, cold winds to your skin has probably lost all its luster. So slough away all the dead cells with a good face scrub. All the high street stores stock own brands but my favorite has to be he St. Ives scrub. Finish with a good moisturizing face cream or serum. My favs are always from the Neutrogena range!
Blemishes: Sunblock, too much make up, can all lead to blocked pores. Cleanse everyday with a good facial cleanser. I recommend Purity Facial Cleansing Gel & Eye-Makeup remover 17.50 at Philosophy. Apply later a good facial serum to to moisturize overnight.
Pale Skin: in the winter without any sun, our skin gets so pale with pasty bits and feels dull. Au Natural is always good but a nice bronzing powder adds a little bit of color and could boost your confidence. But if you prefer a gradual little tan try "Sol Mate Self Tan Souffle" at 22 pounds from Temple Spa. Which has hydrating cocoa butter and anti-inflammatory thyme.
A very important factor to keep in mind is to be aware of the products you use and the chemicals they have in them, which is very bad for you. The absolute worst is these deodorants with a 48 hour protection to stop you from sweating. Can you imagine the chemicals used in such a product to stop the body from producing sweat? I have been using them for a while and started getting a lot of pain around my under arm. These chemicals are absorbed into the body and can cause a lot of other issues. I am so happy I am now aware of this and want to share it with people who may not know.
Above all, don't forget a healthy diet with lots of fruit. It does wonders for your complexion and good for your body and over-all health. Keep hydrated by drinking lots of water. A supplement of Vitamin D is perfect for winter, and it can boost your energy levels!
Enjoy the weather, whatever it is, and keep smiling. Have an awesome day!
Love & Peace
