Alice | Skincare Tips!

Hey guys!
Today i'm going to tell you a few helpful tips for clearer skin. Now I am in no way a professional and these are just a few things that I find helpful so I thought I would share them with you.

1. WATER!!
I never really used to drink a lot of water, but I started drinking at least a litre a day and I can't even put into words how much it helps, my skin started to look more hydrated, less tired and spots started to clear up. Try and drink plenty of water!

2. Never sleep with Makeup on
Now I know everyone always says this, blah blah blah, but i honestly can't stress enough how important it is to completely clean your face before you sleep. Foundation especially is pretty bad for your skin, even those ones that are supposed to clear up spots. I generally don't wear foundation because it just doesn't work on my face. So please, always take your makeup off before bed!

3. Try not to wear Makeup every day
Like I said, makeup is not great for your skin so try not to wear it when its not needed, if you're just popping to the shops, you don't need makeup on. Whereas, if you're going out for dinner, its fine to want to dress it up a bit. Also a small amount of makeup for school is completely fine, just not a full face of foundation, it will not help your skin.

4. Try to cut out Junk Food
Now before you say anything, i'm not saying you have to completely cut out anything at all unhealthy, because I know I don't, just try not to eat loads of oily foods like McDonalds and Pizzas, try and eat more fruit and veg because, I promise, it will do wonders for your skin, even if it sounds silly, it works!

5. Make sure you know your Skin Type.
Now this one is pretty important. You need to know your skin type, so you can be sure you are using the correct formula of Moisturiser and Face wash etc. Its pretty easy to guess yourself but if you aren't sure, see a dermatologist. For example, I know I have Combination Skin because I have an oily T-zone but dry cheeks and sides of my nose. If you don't tend to get dry skin but struggle with oiliness, its most likely you have oily skin. If you don't tend to get shiny but get bad dry skin (almost flaky) then you will have a dry skin type. When buying moisturisers and face Washes, make sure to check the label saying what skin type they are directed at. You may think it doesn't matter, but the ingredients and Formulas are designed for particular skin types and will possibly just worsen your skin situation if you use the wrong one.

I think that's it! I hope this helps you guys, even if it just helps one person, its worth it!
