We asked a community of skin obsessed fanatics for their hottest skincare hacks and collated the best ones just for you.
Some of these will blow your mind!
#1 - Give Your Skin an Ice Facial
Ever get those big red, angry breakouts? Enter the ice Facial!
Sounds cold, but applying ice to your face can have real benefits including relieving pain, decreasing inflammation, combatting swelling and reducing excess oil.
"Skin Icing" is easy - we recommend grabbing 4 or 5 ice cubes, popping them in a soft cloth and gently massaging your face in circular motions for a few minutes each time. This can be done a few times a day.
Hello calmer skin!
#2 - Apply your Facial Oil OVER your Moisturiser
Yes, really!
Oil is occlusive, which means that it creates a barrier over the skin to trap moisture. Because of this your facial oil should be applied last so it doesn't prevent any other products from being absorbed in to your skin.
Or try mixing your face oil and moisturiser together for mega hydration!
#3 - Invest in Microfibre Cloths for Cleansing
Traditional cloths or flannels can be damaging to delicate facial skin as they can be quite rough and abrasive.
Investing in soft microfibre cloths is a much more skin-friendly method of cleaning your face - super gentle, plus it saves millions of cotton pads from ending up in landfill!
#4 - Cool-water Cleansing
Hot water is too harsh for your face. Try using lukewarm or cool water and only wash your face in the shower if you're prepared to turn the temperature right down first!
#5 - Wash your Body AFTER Washing your Hair
Struggling with body acne?
The emollient [softening] ingredients in your shampoo & conditioner could actually be clogging your pores creating body breakouts, so make sure you are washing your body AFTER you shampoo & condition your hair.
#6 - H20 Makes Your Face Glow!
It's a tale as old as time; drinking enough water will not only hydrate your body, but also your skin too. This is because water delivers essential nutrients to your skin cells, keeping your skin replenished.
So, for the dewiest, glowiest skin - stay on top of your water intake.
#7 - Repair Your Skin Overnight
Night time is when your skin works its hardest to repair, regenerate and renew itself.
So no matter how much you want to just jump under the covers, you must feed your skin first! Now is this the time to use your actives, face oils, add tonnes of hydration and layer on the moisture in preparation for the ultimate beauty sleep.
Your skin will thank you in the morning!
