Q. I have just ended a two week spiral of parties as a result of finishing University and don’t want to arrive home for the summer looking grey, spotty and tired.
Help!
A.
Hmmm lack of sleep, too much alcohol, bad diet and probably a few too many nights of sleeping in your make up will take its toll.
But hey I’m not here to lecture you you’ve had enough of that, so here’s how to get that preppy spring back into your skin.
• Lack of sleep – now this might sound an obvious thing to say but you really need to get a few quality nights of sleep in. That means bed before 10pm, after a warm bath infused with Lavender and Geranium oil, and rising before 9am the next day.
There is scientific evidence to show that a lack of sleep will speed up the ageing process so get those peepers closed.
• Too much alcohol – If you have been over indulging on the celebratory shandies then firstly increase your water intake, secondly give your Liver and skin a helping hand by taking Milk Thistle tincture and thirdly treat the water loss (aka dehydration) that your skin will be suffering from, by applying a thirst quenching mask.
I’m a big fan of MD Formulation Moisture Defense anti oxidant hydrating mask which acts like a sponge attracting and binding moisture into the skin.
• Stop sleeping in your make up – It’s a cardinal sin for the skin.
Not only will you be blocking your follicles (pores) with dyes, mineral oils, waxes and talc’s leading to outbreaks, but you will also be putting your skin through the hell of having chemicals on the surface during the hours when your skin does all its repairing and regenerating.
The result, lines, wrinkles and a grey, sallow, spotty skin.
The only exception to the rule (occasionally) is wearing Bare Escentuals 100% mineral make up.
