WATCH - MY NIGHTTIME SKIN
Skin, let’s face it, is a love/hate relationship. Some days it’s great - glowing and clear - and some days, no matter how much you care for it, it just wants to play you.
When it comes to skincare, everyone has their unique solutions: The instant gratifiers and the ones that play hard to get (but turn out truly worthy in the end). I recently filmed a series with Mecca called #mymeccaskin revealling my skin story, the products I use to manage this crazy little thing called skin.
Being a busy working mum-of-two, I really look forward to my blissful skincare ‘process’ at the end of the day.
A few years ago I changed my entire diet. No dairy, no meat (I eat seafood), eat mostly green foods and no wine. Once I did this, not only did my body change, but my skin became clear and glowing. Something I had battled with my entire life was dull and very bumpy skin - and as an adult having pimples and redish skin was not my ideal. I found it very embarressing, so also focussed on what products I used.
I am loving oil-based products, which has totally changed my skin - no more lumps and bumps and my pores are clear and clean.
I recently discovered my love of the ‘double-cleansing’ process.
A calming mask is a must 4 out of 7 nights of the week.
As for hydrators, I start with a lotion to open my pores, layers an oil (with a heavenly jasmine scent) over a hyaluronic-rich serum
Then to finish the routine, smooth a luxurious eye cream to help with the lines of aging.
