Let’s talk about some random, BUT SUPER USEFUL, tips for all our Radiant Rebels. Chances are, you’ve heard some of these, but the hope is there’s at least a handful of these that you haven’t!
Let’s get this ball rolling with our 1st set of 25 skin care tips everyone should know:
- Evening out your skin tone with Nature’s Veil CC Cream can take years off the appearance of your skin.
- Slough off dead skin cells by exfoliating regularly to give your skin the best chance at absorbing beneficial ingredients.
- The best skincare routines are simple, straight forwarded and targeted.
- Detoxifying your skin will help to eliminate petro-ingredients which cause congestion.
- Your skin is responsible for eliminating ¼ of your body’s waste. Make sure it’s in working order.
- Avoid processed sugars in your diet. The inflammation these cause can be a leading trigger for skin conditions like acne.
- Hormonal acne suffers should avoid meats that contain hormones in it.
- Stress can be a major trigger for acne & breakouts. Try ‘stress-busting’ exercise (like yoga) a couple of times a week.
- Applying a soothing gel to your eyebrow area, post pluck will help alleviate irritation.
- A lack of Vitamin B2 can cause an influx in Rosacea inflammation.
- Avoid washing your face with hot water (luke-warm is best) as it will only contribute to dry skin.
- If you suffer from ‘bacne’, changing your clothes when you become sweaty will help to ensure you’re not spreading bacteria, perpetuating the problem.
- Want to wear red lip gloss/stick, but feel like they make your teeth look yellow? Opt for reds with a blue undertone, as it will actually make them look whiter.
- Avoid scratchy and harsh tissues when blowing an irritated/dry nose. Opt for an organic hankie instead.
- Applying turmeric powder to Eczema water blisters caused by dampness. It will help reduce inflammation and prevent the spread of fungal infection.
- Exfoliating ensures the smoothest surface for the application of foundation and makeup, making it easier to blend.
- Avoid skin care products that contain Sulfates. They will strip your skin of the oils it needs to maintain a healthy, balanced state.
- Changing your pillow covers each night can help avoid acne breakouts. You can get 2 nights out of each cover by flipping it too.
- Avoid ‘cakey’ looking foundation by slowing building the coverage rather than going for full coverage right from the start.
- Focus on exfoliating longer, not harder. A gentle, yet longer exfoliation is more effective and less irritating.
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently exfoliate your lips daily. This will make applying lip colours more even and smooth.
- If you have Eczema, avoid ingredients that are harsh or drying to the skin like alcohol.
- Having clean hands & clean brushes are crucial for preventing the spread of acne-causing bacteria when applying products and makeup to your skin.
- A lack of hydration (water) in your skin causes the oil (sebum) in your pores to dry and harden, leading to clogged pores.
- Concentrating your bronzer to the hollows of your cheeks, edges of your forehead and along the bottom of your jawline for the most natural looking tan.
Have a tip, or two, that you think every Radiant Rebel should know? Maybe you have a secondary use for one of your Grounded Sage products that we haven’t even heard of yet. Whatever it is- we want to hear it!
Until next time – Stay radiant!
