Beauty Briefing: Skin Maintenance

Beauty Briefing time! Some quick skin tips for you!

1) Right, here's the obvious but your diet IS important. I'm not asking you to diet on rabbit food but if you want to have good skin, you can't be shovelling McDonalds and other grease bucket, overly-processed foods. Balance it, and yes, water does help. Drink it over cola when you can, in fact, it'll help your smile too, too many teenagers are suffering eroding teeth over time because of excessive cola drinking, so be diverse with your drinks - but know you can never go wrong with H20.

2) Facial masks! Get one appropriate for your skin, I'll probably review a few myself later on but they actually help, and it's good to do this weekly to maintain radiance.

3) KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF YOUR FACE. I know that's damn impossible, but you carry grease and dirt and all sorts in your nails and on your skin and carry it to your face, keeping your hands as clean as possible helps, but honestly, keeping that clean along with earphones/headphones and cellphone screens will help you minimise chances of break outs and such.

4) Exfoliate GENTLY and remove dead skin, and remove your makeup at night, trust me - your skin will look better for it in the long run. Err... one to three times a week should suffice in terms of exfoliation.

5) Use a toner after cleansing, preferably alcohol-free ones.

6) ALWAYS use an appropriate moisturiser for your skin, the best you can do is experiment, though I'll review a few in the future.

7) If you need help with step one, I highly reccomend this as I can personally testify that they're right on the money with this one:
