Lets talk skincare routines! Every women at some stage in their life is conscience about their skin. We spend hundreds of pounds every year looking for new ways to get clearer and better skin. And spend years trying to perfect our skin care routines. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t, it’s a win or lose kind of situation.
As a teenager my skin is so important to me so I try maintain it as best I can. Who has the effort to wear makeup every single day, especially when they’re going to school or college? Definitely not me. That is why I have spent the last few months trialling a range of skincare products looking for my favourite ones. And I think I may have finally perfected my skin care routine (hopefully).
Recently I have been getting a bunch of comments from people on how glowy and clear my skin is, So I thought that i’d share my secret with you because a healthy glow is a way of life!
My Skincare Routine;
-
To start off I use my Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser, this is extremely hydrating and is a great way to remove excess oils from the skin and makeup residue .
- Next I go in with my Neutrogena Visibly Clear Cream Wash, this is my holy grail, this is amazing for preventing spots and it makes your skin feel so fresh!
- After I use the Garnier Pure Active Charcoal Anti- Blackheaf scrub, I only use this 4 times a week as it is very intense and can be quite harsh on the skin but it is excellent for getting clearer skin and removing impurities, you can also use it as a mask.
- To finish off I use the the mint temptation scrub from scrub love, this is the key to my glow, it’s moisturising, refreshing and just overall amazing, you can even use it on the rest of your body too, especially to lighten stretch marks.
- Lastly I use the Sanctuary Spa Illuminating Moisture Lotion which has spf 15, if you’re looking for something to help get rid of dark marks and hyper pigmentation, this is what you need! Over that I use the Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser to awaken my complexion and enhance my natural radiance to give me a healthy glow. Both of these products are great for awakening dull skin in the winter months!

2016 is the year of highlight! Highlighter is one of the worst kept beauty secrets. Everyone knows that if you want to fake a healthy glow you need a little highlighter in your life. Everybody has something that they can’t live without in there beauty bag, some swear by mascara; others refuse to leave home without some red lippy or that perfectly arched brow. However if your all about the glow, then you obviously can’t live without highlighter whether it’s powder, cream or liquid you live for it!
Highlighting also known as “strobing” is having a major moment right now! It hides imperfections, and perfectly balances the harshness of contouring. highlighting is all about enhancing areas of your face where light would naturally bounce off your skin – think cheekbones, temples, down the bridge of your nose and on top of your cupids bow. But not all highlighters do the same thing; some give subtle sheen, while others offer a more noticeable glow. However just like foundation, not every highlighter is made for every skin tone. Depending on what the product is, where you place it, and not least what your colouring is, you can end up with a shiny, frosty, or even worse a somewhat stripper-ish effect, many of these pearly-pink and Champagne shades are more suited towards the fairer complexions, and they can appear chalky or overly sparkly on women of colour like myself.
Trust me I know the struggle of trying finding the perfect highlighter for your skin that doesn’t make it look chalky or like a complete ghost which is why I decided to make easier for you and to give you guys a list of my favorite highlighters for women of colour. I hope this helps you out and may you shine bright like a diamond!

Most people who know me know that I am obsessed with skincare and they can imagine my excitement when I was sent this amazing scrub by the lovely team at scrub love.
I’m all about trying new things and before last week I had never tried a coffee scrub before but oh my goodness I will definitely be purchasing another one of these because it is literally the been such a game changer, my skin has never looked so healthy and the glow it gives, omg, I mean who doesn’t want that hot, sexy summer glow to make everyone woo at the site of you!
What I loved most about this product was that it was organic and 100% natural meaning it contained 0 chemicals which I thought was great because I’m still a teenager, I’m still growing and I don’t really want anything that contains harsh chemicals that would potentially damage my skin, so thumbs up to scrub love.
If your looking for something that will give your skin the most amazing feeling ever head over to Scrub Love. Trust me you won’t regret it!
