3 Basic Skincare Tips

How to lighten your skin image

Cleanse

Cleansing is always the first step in a skincare routine. I use a cleanser and an exfoliating cleansing brush every morning and just a cleanser at nighttime. This keeps my skin clean, clear, and healthy looking. Cleansing properly is really important as it creates a clean foundation for the rest of the skincare products, and it also ensures the skin can soak in all the goodness from the products you are using.

Tone

Toning is the next step in the skincare routine and is another important step that is so easy to skip. A good toner removes all dead skin cells and any trace of dirt or excess oil. If you are looking to improve your skin, implementing a toner into your skincare routine is one of the fastest ways to get the job done.

Moisturise

To ensure your skin stays hydrated, soft, and supple, you should moisturise with a good serum and moisturiser for nighttime, and moisturiser and sunscreen for day time. This step can be the trickiest in the skincare routine because there are loads of options to choose from, and too many options can easily become overwhelming. The best way to go around this issue is to go for serums and moisturisers that suit your skin type. Also, observe how your skin responds, that way you know which skincare products are working well on your skin.

Layering Tips for Autumn

October 1, 2024 By in Fashion Tags: , , , , , Leave a comment

It’s October and the layering season is now upon us! I love autumn a lot! It is one of my favourite seasons, especially in fashion and style. The weather is cool enough to still play around with pieces and layer nicely but allows you to show a bit of skin when required. Having said that, I am missing the sunny days already. It felt like summer just breezed past us. We blinked and the seasons changed…

When it comes to playing dress up, autumn is the season for that. Layering is the theme of the season and I have been busy in the last few days getting my wardrobe ready to slay. If you are wondering how to go about layering this season, here are some layering tips for autumn to help you hone your styling skills.

Keep it simple with a base, mid, and outer layer

There’s no need to overthink or overcomplicate things when it comes to layering. You need 3 layers (base, mid, and outer) to nail your look.

  • The base layer – this is the foundation of your look. For this layer, you could opt for a vest, camisole, or long-sleeve top. This should be comfortable and functional, and what you choose should depend on the overall look you are going for.
  • The mid layer – this piece goes over the base layer. You could go for comfy cardigans, light jumpers, knitwear dresses, and sweaters. This layer is important because it is usually the main character of your look. So pay extra attention to the piece you go for and ensure it looks the part.
  • The outer layer – this is usually the outerwear, so a well-tailored coat, or a padded jacket. Comfort is key here, so I always recommend stylish outerwear that is pretty and functional for utmost comfort.

Layering is super easy once you have different pieces in various styles and colours for each layer. Like with most things in life, less is more. You don’t have to go on a shopping spree to layer correctly. The first step is to have a look at the autumn/winter pieces you do have and shop to fill in the gaps in your wardrobe.

Also, you could wear some of your spring/summer pieces for longer by styling them as base layers in creative ways. For example, you could wear your light dress over a turtleneck sweater.

Whatever you do, the basic rule of layering is to keep it light and simple, as you stay stylish and toasty. Hope you find these layering tips for autumn useful. Happy styling!

Perfume Description

N°5, the very essence of femininity. An aldehyde floral bouquet housed in an iconic bottle with a minimalist design. A timeless, legendary fragrance. The eau de parfum draws inspiration from the parfum with which it shares its floral aldehyde signature. This floral bouquet composed around May Rose and Jasmine features bright citrus top notes. Aldehydes create a unique presence, and the smooth touch of Vanilla an incredibly sensual trail.

  • I love the floral scent a lot! It smells amazing.
  • The fragrance is long-lasting. It stays on all day.
  • I love the packaging. The bottle is chic and pretty.
  • A little goes a long way with Chanel No.5. It is quite a powerful fragrance, so no over spraying required.
  • It is a lovely scent for the autumn/winter season, but it also works for spring/summer months.
CONS

None. There’s nothing I don’t like when it comes to this perfume. I love Chanel No.5 so much and overall, I highly recommend this perfume. It is 10/10 and I can see myself using it over and over again. It is definitely one of my favourite Chanel perfumes.
