Having a beautiful skin for most of us does not come naturally. We need to work at it from a young age. My mum taught me to look after my skin at the age of 12. We did a simple cleanse, tone, moisturise routine. My mum was totally against sunbathing and had a beautiful skin. She was an excellent role model for me. So my beauty routine started at a very young age - so all you mums out there with daughters get teaching and lead by example..
So here we go my personal top tips for an exceptional skin:
1) Start young
2) Keep it simple
3) Keep it regular
4) NEVER skip your night time routine
5) Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate . I use a double moisture system its essential to keep skin super hydrated, this helps lines and wrinkles look less visible. I use a gel hydrator which pulls water between cells and a cream moisturiser to lock it all in.
6) Protect, Protect, Protect from the sun. Use a good SPF30 daily underneath your make-up. Make sure it protects from UVA & UVB rays.
7) When needed use a specaility serum or booster for a a skin concern or condition, For example I use a Firming Serum containing an excellent Botox alternative to stop sagging skin and lines a wrinkles - I am in my 40's now!!
8) Take regular in salon facials. I take a light Enzyme Peel every two weeks with hot towels to remove dead cell build up. I also have a slightly stronger skin peel when I feel my skin requires it, which is usually every 4-6 weeks.
9) Occasionally I will add a light Glycolic Acid cream to my home care program to gently resurface and brighten the skin when needed.
10) Above all be aware of your skins needs. Our skin changes as we age, it also changes season to season. You may need a lighter cream in the summer and something heavier in the winter. At times like this I will have my skin care Custom Blended so I get exactly the correct formula for me... this is a truly luxurious addition to my program.
