Beauty Muse – Gwen Stefani

December 7, 2019 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , 3 Comments

The gorgeous Gwen Stefani is the Beauty Muse for the month of December. I am a huge fan of everything Gwen Stefani. She is such a beauty and also very fashionable, which is why she has appeared on Fashion and Style Police many times. This woman doesn’t seem to age. Looking at her, I can’t believe she is actually 50 years old! She could easily pass for a woman in her late thirties. I hope I look this good at 50. This beauty muse makes 50 look like beauty goals!

According to an interview Gwen Stefani had with Elle Magazine some time ago, she pays a lot of attention to her health and skincare. Her skincare routine is clearly working well for her. Her skin is simply flawless. Here are some of her beauty tips she shared in the interview –

 

Stay out of the sun

Now this tip is great to know as many of us get carried away in the summer sun. It is best to stay out of the sun as much as possible and wear sunscreen. Your skin will clearly thank you for it.

 

Get your beauty sleep

Another reason to sleep the recommended hours every night. Adequate sleep is so important and we can see the magic it is doing for Gwen Stefani. Her skin is clear and beautiful.

Take your makeup off at night

The skin needs to breath at night so remember to wipe every trace of makeup, no matter how tired you are. This will do wonders for your skin long term.

 

Have spiritual exercises

Now hearing this, you may wonder what does this have to do with skincare or beauty, but it is the main deal. Meditating, yoga, or whichever spiritual exercise you prefer, will have you from the inside out. When you feel good from the inside, it starts to radiate out.

Use Vitamin C skincare products

Vitamin C skincare products are great for lightening acne scars and hyperpigmentation. It also stops new dark spots from appearing. I find Vitamin C serums great to use. They have helped clear my acne scars and I still implement Vitamin C products into my daily skincare routine. My current favourite is this Viola Skin Anti-Ageing Vitamin C Serum.

Exfoliate your skin weekly

Exfoliating your skin every week is a great way to improve your facial skin and get rid of acne scars if any. Getting rid of dead skin cell with a facial brush is a quick and effective way of exfoliating today. I use my exfoliating facial brush once a week and it leaves my skin looking smooth and supple. Exfoliating the skin, scar will reveal the smoother skin beneath. If you are battling with acne, you should try this Magnitone London First Step Vibra Sonic Compact Face Cleansing Brush below. 

Laser Treatment

If you are battling with serious acne scars, laser acne scar removal treatment may be the best solution for you. There are now ways to reduce the appearance of acne scars thanks to the advancement in technology. I would recommend this for extreme cases only. If you are dealing with mild acne scars, you can easily get rid of them with the right skincare routine.

Use Sunscreen

This is a no brainer but still worth a mention. You should apply sunscreen to protect your skin; use a minimum of SPF 30. This will also help you get rid of the acne scars gradually and protect your skin from more damage.

Stop picking the face

No matter how tempting it is to pick your face when you have acne, try not to! Picking your face will only lead to more acne scars that may take years to go away.

Cleanse the face

Cleansing your face is important to ensure your skin stays clean and healthy. Sleeping with makeup on is the last thing your skin needs, especially when you are trying to get rid of acne scars. It is also important to use the right cleanser and the right amount of cleanser – the size of a water bottle lid.

There are many home remedies for getting rid of acne scars like the use of Aloe Vera, Coconut Oil, Lemon Juice, Baking Soda, and more. These are based on many different experiences and worth trying if the tried and tested methods don’t work for you.

Why I take daily showers and moisturise my skin everyday

March 27, 2019 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , 19 Comments

Growing up, taking daily showers and moisturising was the norm. I didn’t know of any other way to keep clean. Later in life, I found out so many other people don’t take daily showers and do not moisturise everyday, and I was like what? I am now used to the fact that not everyone has daily showers. Many people think their skin is more healthy if they skip a shower a day or 2. I disagree with that. No shower means they have no reason to moisturise (their opinion). Some do shower more regularly but see no reason why they should moisturise their skin afterwards. I disagree.

Why I take daily showers

I can’t imagine not taking daily showers. Even when I feel ill, I feel instantly better after a shower/bath. Water has the power like that. It could just be my mindset and my upbringing that has me set in my ways. But I can’t imagine deliberately having showers only a couple of days a week. I think I  will feel very dirty.

The whole idea of daily showers drying out the skin is a myth as far as I know. My skin looks great for a 30 something year old mum of 2. As long as the shower isn’t too warm, and you are not in there for ages, your skin will be fine. I always use natural soaps/bodywash , so nothing too harsh on my skin. And I don’t scrub my skin too hard. Gentle scrubbing with mild bodywash/soap and not too warm shower works great for my skin and my mental health. Also, moisturising your skin immediately after having a shower would help replenish any lost moisture. More on that below.

 

Why I moisturise my skin everyday

Using the right skincare products for your skin type is also very important. I always make sure I have the right skincare products stocked in my bathroom cabinet for my daily routine. As a beauty blogger, I come across all sorts of skincare/beauty products every week, and I always restock products that work great on my skin. It is very important to moisturise your skin everyday. It keeps your skin hydrated and looking supple. The moisturiser also helps your skin regain any lost moisture from showering.

I always apply my moisturiser immediately after showering. That way my skin can soak in all the goodness.

I know my skincare routine won’t work for everyone but it works great for me. The thought of deliberating skipping daily showers and moisturising makes me itch 😊
