Look after your lips during the Winter!

During winter, your lips to chap a lot due to the lack of moisture in your lips and your body. The first step is to stay hydrated in the winter by drinking enough fluids!
Here are some tips on how to keep your lips nice and smooth during winter:

• If you must go outside apply some lip balm e.g. Vaseline. This will start to protect your lips already.

• You could wear something over your face, like a scarf. This will reduce the exposure of your lips to the cold winter weather.

• Don't lick your lips! This will make your lips chap more easily.

• As well as it being freezing outside, the could be some strong sunlight as well, use a lip balm with an SPF factor of 15 or above (Blistik has an SPF of 15). The sun does dry out your lips just like the dry air and wind.

• If your lips to get chapped, keep them moisturized as much as possible!

Secrets To Soft Skin

How is your skin so soft? I've heard this question many times and I'm going to give you all the tips I know and use in order to achieve soft skin.

• Believe it or not, adding a few drops of baby oil in your bath does make a difference to the softness of your skin, try it out.
• Or, another strange fact is if you use honey on your skin whilst having a shower it makes your skin immediately softer afterwards.
• Also, you need to moisturise with cream regularly after baths or showers and your skin will be softer before you know it!

You have to treat your face slightly differently because it's very delicate. Recently, I dicsovered a new electrical beauty smoother in Boots. It works as a very fast soft area which you put near your face and it scrubs the skin very hard leaving it much smoother.


Personally, before I go to sleep I moisturise and add any spot cream if I need to - in the morning I find my skin a lot softer. I prefer adding moisturiser at night as I don't like my skin to be too shiny in the day from the moisturiser.


Sorry for the short post, we've been very busy recently and we've been revising for exams. Thank you :)

Top Tips On How To Keep Your Hair Healthy

Your hair can instantly change the way you look. Keeping it in good condition is very important as you can make it look and feel gorgeous...

1. Stay away from plastic bristle brushes. Use soft brushes to nourish your hair - you can also buy a hairbrush which conditions your hair.

2. Brush before you take a shower. This will help remove flakes and prevent product build up. If your hair gets tangled easily, try using a detangling spray for your hair. 

3. As the ends of your hair get older and damaged over time, they become prone to splitting.Try and get regular haircuts, just to trim and neaten your hair - usually about 1/2 inch every 4-8 weeks.

4.Wet hair snaps and stretches more easily than dry hair, so remember to be careful and gentle with it.

5. Remember to deep condition your hair once every two weeks. 

6. When rinsing your hair, try and get as much shampoo and conditioner out of your hair as possible to avoid bad dandruff.

How to take care of your skin

As everyones skin is different it is hard to take care of your skin and face - some people may have oily skin, sensitive skin, acne and even dry skin.

Tips

• DRY SKIN - when you take a shower take a washcloth and rub the dry parts on your face with some soap on the cloth (you can also do this in the sink). Afterwards, dry your face and apply moisturiser to your face.

• OILY SKIN - you can buy many different products but a favourite seems to 'Neutrogena' products as they act as a 'dryer' for your skin.

•  ACNE - wash your face in warm water in the morning and before you go to bed if you dont like using creams. Changing your pillow case regularly can help reduce your acne as it holds onto makeup from your face, old dirt and oil. 'Proactive' and 'Clearasil' is working for most people too and 'Clean and Clear' is very good if you have sensitive skin.

Always remember to moisturise and shower regularly to stay looking gorgeous and healthy.
