]]> In a world filled with countless skincare products, many people are turning to all-natural solutions to care for their skin. Natural skincare emphasizes the use of ingredients that are free from harsh chemicals and synthetic additives. If you’re looking to simplify your routine and embrace a more natural approach, these tips can help you achieve glowing skin using ingredients straight from nature.

Oil Cleansing

One of the simplest and most effective natural skincare practices is oil cleansing. Contrary to what you might think, using oils to cleanse your face can help balance your skin’s natural oils without stripping it of moisture. Oils like coconut, jojoba, and olive oil can dissolve dirt and makeup while nourishing the skin. To try oil cleansing, massage a small amount of your chosen oil into your skin, then gently wipe it away with a warm, damp cloth. This method leaves your skin feeling clean, soft, and hydrated.

Honey

Another key tip is incorporating honey into your skincare routine. Honey is a natural humectant, meaning it draws moisture into the skin, making it an excellent natural moisturizer. Additionally, its antibacterial properties can help prevent acne and soothe irritated skin. You can use honey as a simple face mask by applying a thin layer to your skin and leaving it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing with warm water. Regular use can leave your skin feeling supple and refreshed.

Aloe Vera

Finally, consider using aloe vera for its soothing and healing properties. Aloe vera is well-known for treating sunburns, but it’s also an excellent all-natural remedy for various skin concerns. The gel from an aloe vera plant can be applied directly to the skin to hydrate, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. It’s particularly beneficial for sensitive skin and can be used as a daily moisturizer or spot treatment for irritated areas.

]]> If you have sensitive skin, you will understand the struggles of finding cleansers, moisturizers, and foundations that don’t leave your face feeling tight, red, and blotchy. So many products contain ingredients that can cause a negative skin reaction for those with sensitivities, so it pays to research the best brands that prioritize genuine results for easily irritated, sensitive skin. Check out three of those brands here, each of which delivers excellent products that should suit almost all skin types.

IT Cosmetics

Founded by Jaime Kern Lima who has skin issues including rosacea, IT cosmetics is specifically formulated for those with extreme skin sensitivities. The CC cream with SPF is award-winning and often sold out in stores, it’s especially popular as there are different versions formulated for dry, normal, and oily skin types.

CeraVe

Renowned for its gentle yet highly effective cleaners and moisturizers, CeraVe is almost guaranteed to suit any sensitive, reactive skin. The formulations are focused on repairing the skin barrier and boosting hydration, so even those with very dry skin should benefit from these affordable yet effective products.

BareMinerals

As a brand, bareMinerals specializes in delivering high quality, mineral-based makeup to suit those with sensitive skin. The company has banned over 2500 ingredients from its products, meaning that the formulations are rigorously tested for anything that might cause skin to react. The powder foundation is one of its most popular products, made with only five ingredients that are known to suit those with skin sensitivities.

]]> Avocadoes are great to have around. Adding some smashed avo or homemade guac to a meal is usually a good idea, or they can be thrown into salads for a fresh, creamy taste. However, they are known for their speedy turnover from perfectly ripe to brown and rotten. If you have avocados that look on the edge then here are some ideas to use them up. 

Make Chocolate Pudding

This is such a great use for avocadoes, as you can chuck a few in and transform them into a sweet, healthy dessert. Their creamy consistency and taste mean they’re an ideal base for a pudding. Simply mash up some avocadoes with some cocoa powder and some maple syrup. Whisk until smooth and well combined and then divide into bowls for serving.

Add Them to a Face Mask

Avocadoes are amazing, as they taste great and are healthy for you but they are also filled with vitamin E and C which have loads of benefits for the skin. They are also known for their hydrating and anti-inflammatory  This is perfect if the avocado has gone too far to eat as it doesn’t matter with a face mask. Mash up the avocado with a bit of honey and some water and then smooth over your face. Leave for 10-15 minutes before washing off with warm water.

]]> If your skin tends towards the oily side, you will know the trials and tribulations that summer can bring. Many sunscreens leave oilier skin on the wrong side of greasy, while the heat and humidity can make pores appear larger and exacerbate the oiliness of skin. Check out these three hero products which will protect and repair your skin over the summer months, so you don’t have to struggle through the warm and humid weather.

Cleanser

All skincare routines start with a cleanser, but if you have oily skin the type of cleanser you use is particularly important. Opt for one which contains an exfoliant, such as salicylic acid, so that your pores are getting thoroughly cleansed each morning. If you feel the need, you can double cleanse using a hot-cloth cleanser and then a gel or foaming cleanser.

Toner

A good toner can really help calm, soothe and prepare your skin for the next steps in your routine. Try and find a toner which includes pore-shrinking ingredients such as salicylic or glycolic acid, or opt for a natural version with skin-priming ingredients such as tea tree or witch hazel.

SPF

Even those of us with oily skin need to prioritize wearing sunscreen daily, especially during the summer. Brands such as La Roche-Posay formulate sunscreens specifically for people with oily skin, which will protect and soothe your skin without any greasiness.

]]> While plenty of us are concerned about how our skin looks when we leave the house, little do many know that there is plenty you can do to nourish your skin while you sleep. Here is a simple night skincare routine that can rejuvenate your skin, according to experts.

Use A Gentle Cleanser

Before applying any creams or formulas, it’s imperative to wash your face first. A simple cleanser will go a long way in ensuring that you remove any impurities such as dirt and grease.

Apply A Toner

Toners rebalance your skin’s pH level while hydrating your skin and giving you a solid foundation with which to work as you use your favorite beauty treatments.

Enjoy Your Favorite Treatments

Whether you’re looking to get rid of acne, add some glow, or reverse your age, it’s time to apply the beauty product of your choice. Finally, you have the ideal foundation to apply your favorite treatments.

Moisturize

Once you’ve applied your favorite treatment, the job isn’t quite complete. It’s time to apply a moisturizer to your skin so that it remains hydrated throughout the night.

]]> Skincare is universal. But, sadly, we can’t say the same for all products. Some brands cannot be found in the United States, but it has given beauty influencers a reason to go traveling. 

Forget heading to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower — we’re all about heading to the pharmacy! Most French drugstores sell high-end skincare, and at much cheaper than in the US.

“I’m back in Paris, you guys know the drill. The first stop was the pharmacy,” @glowwithava told her 1.7 million TikTok followers.

@glowwithava Replying to @the.nail.tripper first stop always! stocking up on my favs 🇫🇷🇫🇷 i may go back for more… #frenchpharmacy #frenchpharmacyhaul #frenchpharmacymusthaves #frenchskincare #frenchbeauty #avainparis #europeansunscreen #pharmacyhaul ♬ original sound – AVA

Part of the her haul included Caudalie’s SPF 50+ sunscreen that is not available in the states. Other items included the Lait-Crème Concentré by Embroylisse (“every make-up artist’s favorite moisturizer before make-up”), another bottle of the pink Nuxe perfume, and two kinds of La Roche Posay sunscreen. 

“I regret not getting the hyaluronic filler line from Eucerin last year,” Ava added, showing just how many products there are in the range.

She is not the only one who has cottoned on to the wonder of pharmacies in France. The hashtag #frenchpharmacy has more than 130 million views on TikTok!

@elizabethvictoriaclark come to the iconic french pharmacy CityPharma in Paris with me – aka heaven on earth. Will do a haul next. #frenchpharmacy #a313 #biafine #frenchbeauty ♬ Shooting Stars – Bag Raiders

Another user, @ElizabethVictoriaClark, made her own video inside CityPharma on Rue de Four in the 6tharrondissement, where Caudalie products are apparently $20-30 cheaper than in the US.

]]> To fill, or not to fill? This is a question asked by many a woman in this day and age (pun intended). To be honest, any cosmetic procedure is essentially a matter of personal choice and feeling, and no one (not even a professional) can tell you that you need it. While natural beauty is a timeless winner, if you do decide to opt for dermal fillers, you’re in good company with these glamorous celebs.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica isn’t letting time mess with her cheekbone curves. Despite the inevitable journey of aging, she’s keeping it fresh with a little help from hyaluronic acid. Love it or not, there’s a lot to be said about both taking care of yourself and being open about it. Go, Sarah.

Katy Perry

Our favorite pop sensation has also been upfront about getting filler injections under her eyes to reduce dark circles. Baby, you’re a firework! Thanks for being so honest and informing us all that a perfect-looking face often requires some outside work.

Kylie Jenner

The youngest of the bunch, this Kardashian family member has also been kind and human enough to tell people about her insecurity about her lips, prompting her to fill them several times. Your fans appreciate your realness, Kylie.

]]> When you’re researching ways to get your best-ever skin, it can be easy to end up with a vast collection of products. Whilst there’s nothing wrong in having lots of beauty items to play around with, sometimes when it comes to skin, less is more. Here are three signs that it may be time to dial down your product usage and think about simplifying your routine for a while.

Itching

Itching on the face can be a sign that the skin barrier is damaged or weakened and that your skin needs a rest. Whilst ingredients such as salicylic acid can certainly work miracles when it comes to cleansing and exfoliating, these ingredients can also exacerbate skin irritations. If you’ve got itchy patches on your face, reduce your skincare regime down to its absolute basics and see if that makes a difference.

Lumps And Bumps

Have you ever had a spot or lump on your face which seemed to come from nowhere? Itchy, red, raised bumps without a head are unlikely to be acne, and are more indicative of a skin sensitivity. Avoid scratching (it’s best to avoid touching irritated skin at all if possible), and stop using all products immediately. Wash your skin with warm water (no rubbing or scrubbing), and after a week of this treatment you can start to introduce products in one by one. As soon as your skin reacts, this tells you that a certain product is causing problems, so stop using it immediately.

Skin Tightness

‘Tightness’ is the term used to refer to skin which feels taut and stretched after a product has been applied. Typically, overly harsh cleansers and exfoliators can cause this problem, so make sure you’re using a sensitive skin-friendly cleanser and avoid any scrubbing at your skin as this will damage the skin barrier.

Not all products work for all skin types, so if you’re experiencing any of these signs of skin irritation take a look at your beauty cabinet and see if you can work out what’s causing the issue.

]]> Finding a skincare routine that works for you isn’t easy, but actually committing to it and doing it every day is even more difficult. If you’re struggling to stick to your skincare routine in a long run, these three useful tips will help you do it and enjoy the process.

Simplify Your Routine

One of the reasons why you might be struggling to commit to your routine might be its complexity. If your routine includes too many products and steps to go through, try to simplify it by sticking to the basics, such as cleansing and moisturizing your skin and removing your makeup before bed.

Perfect Reminder

Even if your routine isn’t too complicated, you might not be doing it every day because you’re too forgetful and other things are constantly getting in the way. If that’s the case, it’s a good idea to set an alarm every day that will remind you it’s time to do your skincare routine.

Easy Access

It’s tough to commit to your makeup routine when the products you need are scattered all around your home. Keep them all in one place and make wipes, cotton swabs, and everything else that you need easily accessible so you wouldn’t be tempted to skip your skincare routine.

]]> Although there are some miraculous products out there, we love a little bit of DIY skincare. Toner has the ability to cleanse your skin and reduce pores, making it an important step in your skincare routine, and there is a way to make your own. Grapes contain loads of vitamins and antioxidants that will give your skin the glow it deserves.

Step #1

Place about 10 washed grapes in a blender with a few sprigs of mint. Blend until smooth.

Step #2

Once liquidized, strain the mixture using a cheesecloth or coffee filter. You should be left with a clear, greenish liquid.

Step #3

Transfer the liquid to a bottle and store in the fridge. Apply the toner to your face using a cotton pad. The mint has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that help to unblock pores. The toner also helps with scars and blemishes, fights acne, and restores elasticity to the skin.

]]> To fill, or not to fill? This is a question asked by many a woman in this day and age (pun intended). To be honest, any cosmetic procedure is essentially a matter of personal choice and feeling, and no one (not even a professional) can tell you that you need it. While natural beauty is a timeless winner, if you do decide to opt for dermal fillers, you’re in good company with these glamorous celebs.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica isn’t letting time mess with her cheekbone curves. Despite the inevitable journey of aging, she’s keeping it fresh with a little help from hyaluronic acid. Love it or not, there’s a lot to be said about both taking care of yourself and being open about it. Go, Sarah.

Katy Perry

Our favorite pop sensation has also been upfront about getting filler injections under her eyes to reduce dark circles. Baby, you’re a firework! Thanks for being so honest and informing us all that a perfect-looking face often requires some outside work.

Kylie Jenner

The youngest of the bunch, this Kardashian family member has also been kind and human enough to tell people about her insecurity about her lips, prompting her to fill them several times. Your fans appreciate your realness, Kylie.

]]> When you’re researching ways to get your best-ever skin, it can be easy to end up with a vast collection of products. Whilst there’s nothing wrong in having lots of beauty items to play around with, sometimes when it comes to skin, less is more. Here are three signs that it may be time to dial down your product usage and think about simplifying your routine for a while.

Itching

Itching on the face can be a sign that the skin barrier is damaged or weakened and that your skin needs a rest. Whilst ingredients such as salicylic acid can certainly work miracles when it comes to cleansing and exfoliating, these ingredients can also exacerbate skin irritations. If you’ve got itchy patches on your face, reduce your skincare regime down to its absolute basics and see if that makes a difference.

Lumps And Bumps

Have you ever had a spot or lump on your face which seemed to come from nowhere? Itchy, red, raised bumps without a head are unlikely to be acne, and are more indicative of a skin sensitivity. Avoid scratching (it’s best to avoid touching irritated skin at all if possible), and stop using all products immediately. Wash your skin with warm water (no rubbing or scrubbing), and after a week of this treatment you can start to introduce products in one by one. As soon as your skin reacts, this tells you that a certain product is causing problems, so stop using it immediately.

Skin Tightness

‘Tightness’ is the term used to refer to skin which feels taut and stretched after a product has been applied. Typically, overly harsh cleansers and exfoliators can cause this problem, so make sure you’re using a sensitive skin-friendly cleanser and avoid any scrubbing at your skin as this will damage the skin barrier.

Not all products work for all skin types, so if you’re experiencing any of these signs of skin irritation take a look at your beauty cabinet and see if you can work out what’s causing the issue.

]]> Finding a skincare routine that works for you isn’t easy, but actually committing to it and doing it every day is even more difficult. If you’re struggling to stick to your skincare routine in a long run, these three useful tips will help you do it and enjoy the process.

Simplify Your Routine

One of the reasons why you might be struggling to commit to your routine might be its complexity. If your routine includes too many products and steps to go through, try to simplify it by sticking to the basics, such as cleansing and moisturizing your skin and removing your makeup before bed.

Perfect Reminder

Even if your routine isn’t too complicated, you might not be doing it every day because you’re too forgetful and other things are constantly getting in the way. If that’s the case, it’s a good idea to set an alarm every day that will remind you it’s time to do your skincare routine.

Easy Access

It’s tough to commit to your makeup routine when the products you need are scattered all around your home. Keep them all in one place and make wipes, cotton swabs, and everything else that you need easily accessible so you wouldn’t be tempted to skip your skincare routine.

]]> Although there are some miraculous products out there, we love a little bit of DIY skincare. Toner has the ability to cleanse your skin and reduce pores, making it an important step in your skincare routine, and there is a way to make your own. Grapes contain loads of vitamins and antioxidants that will give your skin the glow it deserves.

Step #1

Place about 10 washed grapes in a blender with a few sprigs of mint. Blend until smooth.

Step #2

Once liquidized, strain the mixture using a cheesecloth or coffee filter. You should be left with a clear, greenish liquid.

Step #3

Transfer the liquid to a bottle and store in the fridge. Apply the toner to your face using a cotton pad. The mint has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that help to unblock pores. The toner also helps with scars and blemishes, fights acne, and restores elasticity to the skin.
