Every teenagers dreaded word: SKINCARE

Hi,
So lets all confess that we all actually hate our skin... (99.9% true), and we all want that supermodel glow like Miranda Kerr and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, or for the males out there Zac Efron. But fret no more, I have an easy and cheap way that can help with that bad skin day.

So the first thing you need to do is figure out what skin type you are and find products that suit your type. For example, if you have oily skin go for products that have no excess oils and combat the degree of oils being produced by the pores without blocking them. But if you have dry to normal skin a good thing to do is find products that hydrate the surface of the skin as well as add moisture to the pores.
    Secondly, CARE for your skin, it doesn't always look after its self and a facial wash doesn't cover everything. My all time tip for reducing spots and blemishes is to use Sudocrem on any areas over night time - even though it can leave the skin with a horrible dewy glow, but that's what a showers for!
     Ladies... I know its literally impossible to leave the door without 'your face on' but go easy on the make-up you can still look good without the cakeiness. Try using primers and moisturisers to prep the skin and always use gentle make-up removal products and always use a cleanser before you go to bed. It even helps to wear a facial mask every so often.
     Your diet is incredibly important on the impact it has on your skin so ladies gents watch what you eat! Try replacing that white bread, mayo, chicken and bacon sandwich for a wholemeal, chicken and rocket lettuce and ditch the bacon and mayo, as they contain high levels of oils and can clog up the pores and produce spots! Also that "treat" that your giving yourself is becoming a regular appearance, DITCH IT!

Products available:
Personally I find Clearasil a bit to well rounded, I like using products to suit my skin type. I recommend Simple (for the ladies) and Nivea for Men (for well, men) as they have a huge range of products for all types. It's easy on the bank balance and is available at Boots and Superdrugs.

For those of you who want a more reliable skin product, try Kora Organics (by Miranda Kerr) which uses only natural and organic products designed for your skin in mind. Visit www.koraorganics.com/ to check it out yourself.




Obviously these tips aren't always the best but can help, but teens you have to remember that spots are inevitable and its just what happens and eventually we will all grow out of it, follow me on twitter @Emily_Greaves, thanks again, Love Emily x
