WHAT PRODUCT IS BEST TO GET RID OF ACNE SCARS/DARK SPOTS?
The best answer to this is sunscreen! why?
Because tanning will only accentuate the darkness; causing them to appear more prominent A chemical exfoliant will also help to break down the tissue build up and lighten the scarring. Such as The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% which is oil free to! And it’s under £10
COMBATING DULL SKIN?
As we are in winter still. Our skin has become accustomed to being dry and cold and pale, and a long list of things that aren’t very beneficial at all. How I long for a summer glow all year round, the natural way The best tip, however, is to exfoliate that dead skin away at least 3 times a week; if not more. This will allow your new skin to glow and breathe and renew quicker. Hydration is also key Using an hyaluronic acid such as the Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum. under £35 and works perfectly

YOU ASKED - WE ANSWERED
ACNE, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A FIGHT!
HOW TO BATTLE ACNE WITH CONFIDENCE!
ACNE CAN BE A TOUGH CHANGE TO GO THROUGH, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT STARTS TO KNOCK YOUR CONFIDENCE. HOWEVER, DO NOT GET DOWN ABOUT IT, LIKE MANY THINGS IN LIFE, THERE IS A SOLUTION, PATIENCE IS KEY AND TRUSTING THE PROCESS IS A MUST. EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY WANT TO GET RID OF YOUR CONCERN INSTANTLY, SCRUBBING AND IRRITATING YOUR SKIN WITH EVERY PRODUCT ON THE SHELVES IS ONLY GOING TO MAKE IT WORSE, AND THEREFORE KNOCK YOUR CONFIDENCE DOWN EVEN MORE. LETS START AT THE BEGINNING, AND WORK OUR WAY THROUGH. THESE POINTERS ARE COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO SUFFERED FROM SEVER ACNE, (ME, HI); SO I KNOW ABOUT SEARCHING ' HOW TO CLEAR MY PIMPLES OVER NIGHT' AND TRYING EVERY PRODUCT YOUTUBE GURU'S RECOMMENDED.
WHAT CAUSES ACNE?
ACNE CAN BE TRIGGERED BY A NUMBER OF THINGS SUCH AS, HORMONAL IMBALANCES, OUR DIET, OVERUSE OF SKINCARE PRODUCTS AND GENETICS! (THANKS MOM!) OTHER COMMON CAUSE INCLUDE:
SQUEEZING OR PICKING AT EXISTING PIMPLES
CLEANING OR RUBBING YOUR SKIN TOO HARSHLY
HIGH HUMIDITY
COSMETICS, LIKE OIL-BASED PRODUCTS
SOME MEDICATIONS
MAINTAINING A HEALTHY DIET
OUR SEBACEOUS (OIL-PRODUCING) GLANDS ARE AFFECTED BY OUR HORMONES. IN PEOPLE WHO HAVE ACNE, THE GLANDS ARE PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE, EVEN TO NORMAL BLOOD LEVELS OF THESE HORMONES. THIS CAUSES THE GLANDS TO PRODUCE TOO MUCH OIL. SOMETIMES ACNE CAN BE CAUSED BY MEDICATION GIVEN FOR OTHER HEALTH CONDITIONS OR BY CERTAIN CONTRACEPTIVE INJECTIONS OR PILLS. SOME TABLETS TAKEN BY BODYBUILDERS CONTAIN HORMONES THAT CAN TRIGGER ACNE TOO. DIET CAN INFLUENCE ACNE. HIGH GLYCAEMIC INDEX (GI) DIETS (E.G., SUGAR AND SUGARY FOODS, WHITE BREAD, POTATOES, WHITE RICE ETC) HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO CAUSE OR AGGRAVATE ACNE. WHEN SUFFERING WITH ACNE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A HEALTHY DIET, AS THERE ARE MANY INGREDIENT TYPES THAT CAN CAUSE FLARE UPS.
AVOID PICKING YOUR PIMPLES.
AS YOU DO THIS, YOU ARE DAMAGING THE CELLULAR LAYER WITHIN THE SKINS SURFACE AND CAUSING PIGMENTATION, WHICH ONLY ADDS TO THE PROBLEM AND MORE TREATMENTS ONCE THE ACNE HAS GONE. IF YOU HAVE THE URGE TO PICK, THEN BOOK YOURSELF IN FOR A FACIAL THAT IS DESIGNED TO RELEASE ALL THOSE IMPURITIES WAITING TO BURST OUT; BY FOLLOWING A COMPREHENSIVE IN-CLINIC AND AT HOME ROUTINE, CONFIRMED BY YOUR SKIN HEALTH EXPERT, YOU WILL AVOID FUTURE SKIN COMPLICATIONS.
A CONSISTENT ROUTINE
A SKINCARE REGIME THAT IN CONSISTENT AND DOESN’T OVERLOAD THE SKIN WILL HELP KEEP THE PIMPLES FROM BECOMING INFLAMED AND INFECTED AT WORST. BY MAINTAINING A ROUTINE THAT IS DESIGNED FOR YOUR SKIN TYPE, IT WILL ONLY ENSURE THE HEALING PROCESS WORKS QUICKER AND EFFECTIVELY. THIS CAN SOMETIMES INCLUDE MEDICATION THAT TACKLES ACNE ORALLY, AS WELL AS LOTIONS AND POTIONS; ONCE THE ACNE IS BEGINNING TO CLEAR UP, THEN A POST TREATMENT APPOINTMENT IS RECOMMENDED TO SEE IF THE SKIN HAS RESPONDED WELL TO TREATMENT AND IS NEED OF ANY POST ACNE CARE, SUCH AS PIGMENTATION, SCARRING PROCEDURES.

PAINTED PINK
With the winter days coming to a close and the short days finally shedding some later light Our makeup palette can gratefully come back to life with nudes and blushing goodness As shown on @danibrant(Right)
You can warm up your face one with one colour. Just the one. In this look (Right); I chose a blush pink from NARS called Orgasm! Yep You heard me right bet that made you blush! ( that’s kind of the point) I took the blush,applied it to the eyelids, the cheeks and over the lips to draw everything together OK and maybe over the decollété shoulders and bust. I’m out of control! so if you want a simple look to wake up your face Use one colour
THE BLUSH OF THE YEAR
Here it is! The famous blush. @Narsissist on instagram can direct you straight to their site
When I worked for NARS, many moons ago, this was still the number one blush and shocker! ( well, not really, it still is) oh to be a blush!
With the fabulous name created by François NARS by thinking “ hmm I want a blush that makes someome orgasm when they swipe it on, oh wait! Orgasm” I know- genius. The beautiful blush pink with golden shimmer undertones works for everyone’s skin, it’s simply beautiful and still one of my favourite products Sold online for £25. It’s worth a buy.

WINGIN’ IT ( LITERALLY)
OK! So,when it comes to a perfect wing, as an artiste (yes fancy).
I go along the lines of Adele, Ariana grandè. You know, the classic wings that’s lifts the eye and snatches you to the high heavens…. *deep breath*
but the funny thing is I was so bad! I used to dread doing them, until I found my perfect product and technique. And Damn I’m winging! get it!
So my technique I take my brush. MAC 210 to be preside; and line from the outer corner of the bottom eye lash line up to the edge of their brow that’s the perfect r angle, I then add a faint line of eye shadow to give me an outline and then using my trusty liner (will show you below). I bit by bit make my way up just passed the bottom of the eye socket You can go further if you want to! But that helps so much! and allows me to not have a breakdown every time I get to finishing touches.
