Must have: Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant by Paula's Choice

I am so glad a family friend introduced me to Paula and her products, particularly this one. 

Consistently clear skin that only really falters during that time of the month and under times of extreme stress? Largely thanks to this product. 

Let's talk about it. 

Clarins HydraQuench Serum

Hydrating. Light. Bi-phase. Blue. What more do I need to say? 

How I'm fighting my acne: Current skincare routine

As I've gotten older, the pimples on my face seem to have progressively multiplied and have now developed into something I'd definitely call acne. Acne isn't a word to throw around; a lot of people deal with this condition everyday. It is disheartening to wake up every morning and see that your skin is getting worse. I don't have it that bad but there is definitely room for improvement. I hope this post helps some of you out there. I'd definitely recommend seeing a dermatologist at any stage if you have access to a good one but especially if after 6 weeks, this process makes it worse or doesn't make a difference.

I should say that I was inspired to start this routine following a video on Caroline Hirons' Youtube channel with Dr Sam Bunting on Female Hormonal Acne. Definitely take a look!

Everyday Makeup Routine

It has taken me a long time but I've finally found a makeup routine I am happy with. A routine I can just add to if I'm going out. A routine that looks natural (reasonably). A routine I can do do easily and quickly (again, reasonably).

Some obvious beauty habits to keep up (even when you're single or it's winter)

I always want to take care of my body and my skin but there are times when it all just feels a bit pointless...particularly when I'm single or it's the cold months of winter when most of me is covered up 90% of the time. Why should I exfoliate my stomach when no one will see, let alone touch that area, for a very very long time? Is buying that body butter really necessary? Well I'm about to tell you that it is. After going overseas alone for 6 weeks, I can definitely say I feel much better about myself now that I've come back and have been able to start them again. These habits are in no way essential to your life but if you kept up these habits whilst dating someone or trying to impress someone, then you should definitely keep on going.
