TWO PRODUCTS THAT ACTUALLY WORK FOR MY SENSITIVE SKIN!

TWO PRODUCTS THAT ACTUALLY WORK FOR MY SENSITIVE SKIN!

 Good morning everyone! Hope you are all well!

As we all know.. ladies.. the time of the month can sometimes effect our skin and for me, these last few months I've seen some changes. Now normally my skin is pretty good with handling that time of the month, however, I've been through a lot of stress which has caused me to break out and my skin has become super dry. More dry than normal and i felt like I needed to get this under control!

I have two specific products that I have been using within my skin care routine to tackle the problem and heck! it's worked! I usually apply this serum at night as I feel I can leave it to soak a little longer and give my skin a pamper! This little beauty is the LaCure BEAUTE Paris - Multi benefit rose cream gel. This little detox in a tube has made my skin super soft and absorbs into the skin quite quickly. The smell is rose but it's not overpowering HALLELUJAH!

I found the serum to be quite light weight which is amazing and I'm not a big fan of thick gels. This felt like hydration to the fullest and I'm super happy to have this within my routine!

Other tips to help skin hydration!

* Keep hydrated. Now this tip is underestimated and I was one of those people who never really use to drink water. My skin, lips and hair became very very dry but still, never use to drink water. This step is super important not only for your skin, hair, nails but your overall health. Water helps flush out the toxins and I've seen a difference in how clear my skin has become even during the time of the month.

* Keep to a skin routine with products that are tailored towards your skin type. Years ago, I used to walk into a shop, see a product and use it within my routine once and disliked it because I found it was tailored for oily skin. Now not only is this a waste of money but it's also a lot of time investing into products that do not work for you. I know first hand finding products that work for you takes trial and error, but it may help by taking a look at the ingredients to see if they are going to suit your needs and your goals. Some products I've used in the past have been tailored towards acne which made my dry skin even worse and I never suffered with acne! Look for products that you know won't cause any problems for you and work with them.

FED UP OF NOT BEING ABLE TO USE MUD MASKS BECAUSE OF SENSITIVE SKIN? 

I may just have a solution!

LaCure Beauté Black Thermal Face Mask

I haven't used a mud mask for a very long time after taking a dislike to them being quite thick and not enjoying the texture it left on my skin. However, as I've experience a few break outs due to stress I wanted to try them out again and see if this would change my mind. I was shocked with the consistency of this product as it is a mud mask but it feels more like a thin-medium cream. This is excellent as you can build up the amount you want to suit your needs. I tend to leave this mask on for around 10-15 minutes. Most mud masks that I have tried in the past tend to dry so you know when to then wash it off. I personally don't like products like that specially with my dry skin because it made it worse. This product however doesn't do that at all. It dries slightly but it doesn't dry to the point where it cracks and you can't feel your face ( you girls know what I mean.. maybe even men!) The brightness of my skin is down to this product hands down.

I tend to not put this product around my nose as I have broken capillaries which this can irritate, however, this is what I avoid with all products. If you have tried mud masks in the past which has dried your skin out then this is definitely one which I would recommend because it feels more like a thick moisturiser and leaves your skin feeling super hydrated.

I'd love to hear if you have used these products or what products have been working for you in the comment section below!

Lot's of love, Tanya x

3 TIPS THAT HAVE MADE MY HAIR GROW FAST!

3 TIPS THAT HAVE MADE MY HAIR GROW FAST!

Hi Beauties! I thought after a while of taking a break from my blog, I'd come back even better than last time and share with you these three quick tips that have helped my hair to grow!

Now if there is any topic that I research quite often it would definitely be hair care! After my second pregnancy, I started to notice some fall out and my hair became weak and fragile. I will put my hands up, looking after two small humans is a challenge and I can be very busy, meaning that hair care was the last on my list to look after. Life in general can be quite hectic as most would agree, so we tend to focus our mind on other priorities. Over the last two months I have made three EASY changes to my routine which require MINIMUM effort, which cmon, easier the better right? I feel adding these three simple changes has made a huge difference on the strength of my hair and they have now become a part of my routine that I can do without taking up much time in my busy day.
     
                                                              Lets get on to the tips!

SILK PILLOWCASE!

This handy hack has become one of the easiest transitions in my hair care routine which is brilliant because it's a tip that you don't need to think about, you just go to sleep and let the benefits work their magic! For years I used to use cotton pillowcases until I realised that silk has hypoallergenic properties which provides a natural resistance to mold,fungus and dust mites (gross). The properties made from silk can help prevent friction on the hair, helping to prevent split ends! P.S make sure the pillowcase you purchase is 100% silk.

SWITCH TO A SCRUNCHIE!

For years I have used a normal rubber hair tie to keep my long hair at bay and without knowing it, it has secretly been damaging my hair and ruining all the other ways that I have tried to prevent dehydration, split ends and breakage. Back in school I used to use a scrunchie until I felt too old to rock the trend any longer. Am I the only one?
Doing some researching into this, I realised that although we all loose around 100 strands of hair a day due to the normal life cycle of our hair strands, more started to appear as soon as I started to regularly use rubber bands. My hair always used to be caught and I noticed that my ends were starting to break more easily. To think that all the steps I was taking beforehand to prevent breakage and then to use a rubber band straight after my deep condition, I was pretty much reversing everything I was trying to prevent. The old school scrunchie has definitely come back and is staying! I feel that there is less pull on my hair and hardly any fall out due to the soft material that the band is made from. Such a small change and a big difference on my hair! Also...they are super affordable and cute!

PROTECTIVE HAIRSTYLES AT NIGHT!

I never used to be the one to worry much about how I styled my hair at night. I use to either just leave it down or tie with a rubber band in a bun and I'd be good to go! I started to notice that whenever I used to take my hair out of the band, my ends used to be so brittle and dry! I felt that I should improve my hair care with products, didn't bat an eyelid to think about protective styles at night. So you can imagine..I used to spend so much money on preventing damage with the use of products, to then reverse all my efforts without realising it by wrapping my fragile hair in a bun with harsh rubber, creating friction and still was left confused to why it wasn't working. There are SO MANY youtube tutorials for so many hair types to help you create the style that works best for you, your hair and your routine. These styles can be so easy to add into your routine with minimal effort and time. I now either put my hair in a high bun so my hair is out of the way and secure with a scrunchie, or I do a quick 30 second plait to the side so all my hair strands are tight and together which helps prevent friction against the many turn overs I do at night!

These three tips are super easy to incorporate and I have noticed that as I have been taking more care of the condition on my hair, it has been easier to grow! So a win win situation here!

I hope these tips have helped you and if you have any that you would like to share I would love to know! Comment below x

With Love, Tanya x

For as long as I can remember, I have suffered from dry skin. I'm quite lucky that my skin isn't severely dry, however, it's dry enough to interfere with some foundations. If this sounds like you or you are looking for new products to test out then this is the blog post for you. 


24k Bio-essence Skin Radiance Night Cleanser 

I've been using this cleanser at night to really help my skin recover from the day, whether that be from my makeup or from the harsh wind, sun and everything on the topic of environment.  I've found that this cleanser glides on smoothly to the skin which has a soothing effect. It creates a small amount of lather that works into the skin to remove any excess makeup or dirt on my skin at night. Each product that I mention may work differently on different people, I will only mention products that are currently working on my skin, with the hopes that you find something that catches your interest because it's taken me 23 years of trial and error and thats okay! I'll be talking more about the importance of using a cleanser in my routine more on my YouTube Video!


Christian Breton Paris Liftox Serum

This is one product I now can't live without. After years of, being honest, not taking much care to protect my skin from forming wrinkles, I've took a serious turn to try and prevent them now. If I can save myself treatments in the future by helping to protect against the cause in the first place then this is where my motivation comes from. This serum is on the luxury side of the budget, however the ingredient's make up for it. Containing snake venom like peptide, caviar extract and collagen, this serum gives me my youthful look.  So why caviar? Apparently, the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids have been shown to reduced inflammatiion when topically applied, however please do your research to determine whether you want to add this into your own skin care routine. I have been using this every day for 3 weeks and so far I have noticed that my skin looks more radiant and firm which hasn't made my skin feel uncomfortable and is one of the products that I will continue to use!


Christian Breton Paris Liftox Face Cream 

I use to be terrible, probably one of the worst people for not using face cream. I never used it growing up and in all honesty, I didn't think it would make much difference to the appearance of my skin. Oh how I was wrong! Specially with my dry skin.. around winter.. can you imagine? I use this daily, twice a day, morning and night. I am absolutely in love with the formula of this face cream, it's quite thick in texture but it absorbs so well into the skin. After 10 minutes my skin feels hydrated and that's luxury for any of you out there who suffer from dry skin like me! The smell is quite pleasant and I find it's like a drink for the skin. If you want to find out more how I got on with this, please comment below!

Cloud 9 Skin Solutions Good Night Deep Nourishing Sleep Mask

If I haven't gone on about it enough, you probably would have guessed that I never used a sleep mask, ever. I thought a night cream at the very maximum would be absolutely fine for my skin. Until this little gem came into my life. This is a product that I apply on top of my night cream! I even use this sometimes throughout the day if my skin needs that bit more hydration. This little beauty is something I won't forget to apply at night because I've seen such a difference in my skin since using it. This gem gets to work whilst you sleep so as soon as you wake up, your skin thanks you and you don't need to do anything more. This is such a brilliant idea for those of you who need a simple but effective routine. All more reason to buy it as a special gift just in time for Christmas and you can even share the secret by gifting it to someone close to you. 

Christian Breton Anti-wrinkle Hydrogel Eye Contour Mask

Eye masks? Now I'm hoping I'm not the only one to only just put this into my routine, surely? I only ever used to use face masks and didn't think much of using anything more and plus I felt like this extra step might not make much of a difference anyway. Until I started to realise that with face masks, the eye area is un touched, I started to think about how neglected my under eye area had become. These hydrogel eye contour masks are the perfect way to treat the under eyes once a week and the road to hydrated eyes becomes easier. These are perfect because they can be kept in the fridge for personal preference to add to the cooling effect. This feels like giving yourself that salon pamper treatment but it's in your own home, even better. I started using eye masks as I started to notice lines after testing out a new concealer, sparking the thought that I really do need to start looking after my skin, besides, a great routine definitely makes the difference of the overall makeup look. I have many compliments on my skin care without foundation which makes me feel much more confident, so take care of your skin and your skin will thank you in return. 

Don't forget, part 2 on my tips and tricks for clear and bright skin will be on my YouTube Channel soon so please subscribe to be the first to get notified!
