Skin care. The ins and outs :)

Hello readers,
Today I fancy talking a bout what makes us feel good, dolled up and ready to paint the town red: skincare, make up and the bits in between :)

Make-up...there is a vicious cycle which starts with make up. spots. We wear make up to look and feel our best but this encourages spots; so we cover up the spots with make up which gives us spots so we cover them up with make up...and so its goes on! But what can we do? A couple of things that i have found that helps is washing the face day a night with a light soap and using face powder rather than cream foundations so the skin can breathe a little. If you have any other suggestions please comment so we can all learn; whether its your favourite product or a tip like eggs in the hair to make it shiny!
Don't forget guys, especially with this on coming winter breeze, we're going to need our moisturiser! I personally use The Body Shop vitamin E moisturiser as it smooths the skin and reduced an itching of dry skin and adds a nice shean. However, it is a little thick and oily so i suggest using this before bed to give it time to sink in and then washing your face the next day.

Whats your moisturiser? The make up moisturising world has matured and combined with this product:

Garnier Skin Naturals, Miracle Skin Protector.
Enough of the face!

HANDS!!!

So I have to attempt to keep my hands nice and soft as I am currently training to become a massage therapist and lets face it, no one wants and sand paper massage! Its a little difficult keeping my hands soft at the moment because I am working as a spa assistant which is a glorified term for cleaner! My hands have become dry and coarse but i have found two great moisturisers! Hurrah!

This is the Almond Daily Hand and Nail cream from The Body Shop. It may seem strange but there aren't any warnings about nut allergies so I'm guessing that its just the scent and no traces but I'd check that! this is great for out and about but if you need something a little more heavy duty how about this:

The Body Shop, Hemp Hand Pretector.
Yes, I'm a fan of body shop products! This one is a life saver. It smells a bit like mud so the reviews are mixed but it helps your hands become supple and does great things for your nails. I like to use this before bed along side the Vitamin E on my face and I wake up a soft as a babys bum bum!

I hope you have enjoyed and this has helped. If you have any tips please comment!
