My Super Skin Secrets!

Dear Reader,

Hi! My name's Rebecca ( but you can call me Becca) and I'm really into skincare. Some people may collect stamps, old coins, or lipsticks, but for me? It's all about the skincare products! Through the duration of my 15 years of having everything from dry, oily to combination skin and travelling to countries of all different climates; I have concocted a short list of my best kept secrets in taking care of the largest organ in your body- your skin!

Secret #1 The best way to unclog pores!

 I find that in the shower is always the best time to unclog your pores because the hot water opens up your pores- meaning you can use your facial scrub to gently buff the dead skin, bacteria and straight up gunk out of your pores, leaving you feeling fresh and free! Another top tip is to turn on the water to cold for a few seconds before getting out, to close your pores and your hair follicles, preventing more bacteria getting in and frizzy hair! In the shower, I like to use a scrub from Clean & Clear.

Secret #2 Removing your makeup is E-SSEN-TIAL *sassy finger snap*

Okay, who here has gone to bed to then realise that you've left your makeup on, but can't be bothered to take it off? *guiltily raises hand* Yep, I'm sure we've all done it. To counteract this lazy habit, I advise you to keep a packet of makeup remover wipes on your bedside table, so even on your most sloth like of nights, you can still save your skin from all those nasty chemicals! So simple!

Secret #3 Get a perfect tan without harmful UV rays or the hassle of fake tan!

The sun can really damage your skin, and too much time in it can even lead to skin cancer and many other diseases! In the heat of the summer season, it's hard to remember this when trying to get the perfect tan, and when using fake tan instead, it's hard not to give up with all the hassle and stress of streaks and patches...

I was stuck in this slump for many a summer, yet this season I discovered the wonder that is gradual tan! And let me tell you, the building up of it every day is certainly worth it for the natural, sun kissed and easy to work with results! I've been using the St Tropez Gradual Tan in Medium to Dark so I can get the rich colour I want with less use, and the formula is so moisturising, you don't need to worry about dry patches and it's super healthy for your skin (bonus!) 

Unlike fake tan, it doesn't wear off and look awful after a few days, but gradually fades if you don't top it off and looks totally flawless and natural. (Okay I sound like an advertisement here, but it's true! Hence the gushing...)

Thanks for reading my super skin secrets! Love Rebecca xo
