Consistent Care

Heeeey everyone!! I'm back for another wee quick post, you all already know that up until summer now my posts are going to be very widespread, trying to get the time to balance everything is just impossible, there seriously isn't enough time in the day. Enough of me acting like I balance about ten activities, I have a busy little life for the little person I am okay..

So last week I was having thee worst week in terms of skin/beauty. I actually don't think I done any facials at all I was stressed with assignments and I was a grumpy wee witch 99% of the time - and by god I noticed the effects!! By the end of the week my skin was literally back to day 1 of the blog before I done my Himalayan Cleanse. My pores were so clogged, my chin was getting it tight - it still is the blackheads are so noticeable!! However come towards the end of the week I was like this is such a perfect example of how consistent care is essential. That's where my problem raised when I was about 14/15, I was constantly going out caked in the cheapest makeup thinking I was a pure babe, coming home not wanting to take it off because I thought it was that good-looking, heading to bed with it still on waking up, giving my face a quick lick with the facecloth and starting again.. call me a dirty witch but in our early teens we were all guilty of it!! My pores weren't getting the chance to breath therefore they were becoming so clogged resulting in terrible breakouts, I would have came crying to my mammy and insisted on her taking me to the doctors to get tablets for acne, but she herself knew I did not have acne -mummy's always know best!! Even if I did have acne, girls consistent care is necessary, all naturally sourced face-masks are amazing for cleaning out the skin, if we clean our pores regularly pimples wont have the chance to appear. As you all know my personal favourite is the Himalayan Charcoal from the Body Shop, what attracts me most to the body shops products is that their cruelty free. My advocacy for the Richmond Centre's Miss Earth is encouraging skincare which promotes a change across the globe, being kind to the earth and its natural habitats. Not even that, this last month I have been ordering loads of face masks and what not, and I have genuinely found that the ones which are naturally sourced and not chemically created within a lab are proving to be the best for my skin. I am super excited to research my chosen advocacy and share my findings with you all.

Another wee thing I thought I would mention is that this last couple of weeks I've had a few people ask 'is your skin even that bad?' and no is the answer. I would not have terrible skin I know there are girls out there who get it much worse than me, but that's what I'm here for, I still get bad breakouts, if I can find something which is preventing my smaller breakouts, it is going to help those who are worse off than me. It is 100% natural to have bad skin at our age, and I know I have a couple of younger readers who are going through what I went through when I was 14/15 and I wish I had someone blogging to me telling me what to use haha. What I am using might not work for you, but that's okay, everyone's different and everyone has different skin types, that's why I push every blog and say 'look at what suits your skin type best'. Also a few girls have messaged me on Instagram with regards to their skin and what they could use, I have already stressed I am not a skin care specialist, but that's what these girls like, I'm not going to suggest something which costs a fortune and might not work, all I will try and help with is if I have seen any products on the market that might help you specifically, or even any home remedies to try. Also back to the cost of products, last week I reposted my Himalayan Cleanse blog to show you all that the Himalayan Charcoal Mask is worth the money, I completely understand that it is £16 and this is a bit much for a mask but girls its amazing. Also to help you all out I would strongly advise signing up for a Body Shop customer card when you purchase the mask, they are great at emailing your when certain deals are on, and why not build up the points and eventually you may have enough to get money off the mask or receive a free product, you never know!!

Within the nest couple of weeks I am going to try and find a less expensive mask which I feel does the same job. It will take me a few weeks of experimenting and that, so bare with me! I have seen one in Boots which I am itching to try, so I might pop in and purchase that this week and I will let you all know how I'm getting on.

Lastly with regards to the Richmond Centre Miss Earth 2017 Final, this Saturday April 1st I am going to be meeting all the girls for the first time as a group - I am suuuuuuper excited!! We will be visiting all our lovely sponsors in a day packed with activities, so I will be sure to keep you all updated on snapchat throughout the day! I am currently only at the beginning of my Miss Earth journey and already I couldn't encourage any girl enough to go and enter it, amazing experiences with amazing girls and mentors, a pageant for a cause, each girl all doing amazing things to help promote a greener future for our planet!

That's all for today something short and sweet about consistency, never ever give up girls. Keep them facemasks rocking, cleanse, tone and moisturise your life away - you all will see a change, and don't hesitate to send me messages with questions or even send me photos of before and afters, I will always be more than happy to help and I absolutely love hearing from you all!
