My 5 Beauty Non-Negotiables

I have been someone who has been really getting into self-care and self-help I have found it much easier to keep on top of my skin and beauty if I do the following daily.

They have all hugely benefited me and I definitely think if you aren't doing them already, it's worth giving them a go -

MY FIVE BEAUTY NON-NEGOTIABLES

Drink Plenty Of Water

It’s an oldie but a goodie that staying hydrated is important for great skin.

I make sure that I get at least eight glasses of water in my system daily, I start my day off by having a glass of water as soon as I wake up! I have a Chilly's bottle on my night stand all night, it's great because I don't have to get out of bed if I am thirty in the middle of the night either.

I also, try and drink a glass of water half an hour before every meal and then one during - it really does add up and leave me feeling so refreshed and my complexion clear!

Applying Sunscreen

This will not be the first or last time you will hear this beauty hack!

I will not leave the house unless my face has had a layer of sunscreen on.

Dermatologist highly praise sunscreen and believe it should be a part of everyone's daily skin routine. It is known to help prevent sunburn, skin cancer and premature aging.

Every when the sun isn't shining, UV raise may still be high and may cause skin problems, therefore get this in your skin care routine if it isn't already.

Gua Sha

Right, I have been loving doing my own facial every morning for the last few weeks!

I follow the YouTube video linked below, it is simple direct but leaves you feeling incredible.

Often people use facial oils to do Gua Sha but I simply use a thick moisturiser, starting from my forehead and working my way down to my neck and shoulders!

You won't regret adding this to you skin care routine.

Take make-up before bed (no ifs or buts)

No Ifs. No Buts. No Coconuts.

We all know that sleeping with make-up on can clog up pours and this may results in acne.

Even if I’ve had a late night, I make sure to wipe off all my makeup so my skin has time to breathe and rejuvenate itself overnight.

My favourite and go to make-up remover is Garnier Skin Active Micellar Cleansing Water, it comes in a large bottle that lasts the longest time. My last bottle, lasted 9 months!

No more breakouts!

Caster oil on lashes before bed

Random? Maybe.

I have been using caster oil on my eyelashes before bed for a few months. I am naturally blonde and my lashes are almost invisible if I do not have any mascara on.

Caster oil has proven strengthening and hair growth properties but there are also other health benefits to using caster oil. The benefits include helping manage acne, moisturizing, and reducing inflammation. Therefore, it is worth investing in a bottle even if you use it for something other than hair growth. It is cheap and lasts the longest time.

Just a heads up, the smell is not the most pleasant.
