Tips For Clear Skin!

If you are having troubles with acne or just simply want to brighten and even your complexion than just follow these easy tips and you'll be sure to notice a difference in your skin in no time! These tips have helped me over the duration of my skin clearing up, so I wouldn't be sharing them with you all if  I knew they were only a myth.

Moisturising

Keeping your skin hydrated is what I think is most important to keeping your skin looking good! Don't think that drying out your skin does anything but cause more breakouts due to unhealthy skin. So make sure that you are moisturising morning and night after applying serums and cleansing (whatever your routine consists of).  A moisturiser does wonders as it holds in all the products you have applied to your face. 

Inside Out

Healthy skin starts from taking care of your insides first. Once you start this process you'll start to see results through your skin almost instantly. Simple things like drinking lots of water and obtaining a healthy diet is some of the easy ways to have you and your skin looking and feeling healthy. Staying away from greasy foods and alcohol is an obvious when it comes to staying healthy.

Mineral Makeup

The type of makeup products you are using on your skin is yet another major possibility to your skin breaking out. 99% of foundations (not including mineral) clog your pores which is the leading cause to zits forming. Applying a mineral foundation and powder to your face allows your skin to breathe

Stay Clear of Bacteria

As bacteria is the main cause to pimples forming, here are a few tips and tricks to stay clear of bacteria.
- Don't go touching your face with dirty hands through the day and make sure to wash your hands before starting your skincare routines.
- Changing your pillow cases every now and again can really help with your skin as a lot of dirt from your face or hands, and wherever the pillow has been can transfer onto your skin.
- Cleaning your makeup brushes regularly is really important as dust and old makeup can sit in the bristles of the brush.

Dairy

It has been scientifically proven that dairy products such as milk, cheese, yoghurts, etc are prone to causing breakouts. If you have been noticing your skin breaking out, try cut back on the dairy products and test it out for yourself and see wether you notice a difference in your skin clearing up.

Don't pick

This was (and still is) a big one for me as I always used to pick at my face which I know was a hugely bad habit. I know it can be tempting to try and get rid of a new whitehead that has come up over night, but its really important that you try your hardest not to touch it. Once you pop a pimple, the white head not only bursts up out of the skin, but it also pops under the skin which spreads the bacteria. Almost always after popping a pimple, a new pimple will form around the same area where the bacteria from the last pimple (that you popped) was.
However you can get rid of the whitehead hygienically by applying a hot sponge over the area to soften the blemish. After a minute or two you can then grab a tissue and gently swipe over the white head, or you can get the tissue over two fingers and slowly try to bring the head to the surface. Its really important that you do these steps with clean hands!

Exfoliating

incorporating an exfoliator into your skincare routine at least once a week is important as it gets rid of dead skin cells that are laying on the upper surface of your skin. Exfoliating creates a smoother surface for applying makeup products and also skincare products are able to get deeper within the skins surface as there are no dead skin cells trapping its path. If you have pigmentation, acne, or just want a brighter complexion, use an exfoliator ladies!

My Skincare Routine!

Ultra Clear Exfoliating Gel, Ultra Balancing Gel Cleanser, Even Skintone Serum, Ultra Balancing Skin Mist, Ultra A Skin Perfecting Serum, Ultra Moisturiser Eye Cream and Ultra Hydrating Lotion.

Healthy skin starts with a good skincare routine and products that work best for your skin type. Taking good care of your skin is of primary importance when it comes down to being confident and looking your best. As I have suffered with really bad skin for about 3 or more years now I know the feeling of not being confident with yourself and always worrying about what people are thinking when they look at you.
I have been using Ultraceuticals products now for a bit over a year and am totally in love with their range of cleansers, moisturisers, serums, etc. Above are all the products I have been using morning and night and have been recommended to me for my skin. I have probably tried all their cleansers and moisturisers as I have beauticians recommending different things to me all the time. I find this routine is working perfect for me at the moment and have noticed dramatic changes in my skins appearance. I highly recommend checking out their products. (They also sell mineral makeup products).

You can purchase Ultraceuticals from their website and they ship internationally. If you live in Australia you can buy products from their counter in David Jones and also in some beauticians. (Check out their website to see all locations where they are sold).

1. Ultra Balancing Gel Cleanser - This light, non-stripping gel cleanser is formulated to thoroughly cleanse and remove impurities and makeup without disturbing the skins natural moisture balance. I cleanse once using a kohl sponge (recommended for acne skin) and then dampen a sponge with hot water and place over my face to remove my cleanser.
2. Even Skintone Serum - This product dramatically retextures and brightens skintone. This product has helped amazingly with clearing up my skin! I notice a difference in the next morning after using this.
3. Ultra Hydrating Lotion - Lightweight, fast absorbing moisturiser that balances and hydrates the skin leaving a shine free finish. It doesn't feel oily and just soaks into the skin.
4. Ultra Balancing Skin Mist - All in one refreshing skin conditioner that hydrates, clarifies and soothes. In the morning I love to spray this once my makeup is complete as it leaves my skin with a dewy and hydrated finish.

 

1. Ultra Balancing Gel Cleanser - At night I cleanse twice (once to remove the makeup and the second to actually cleanse) using the same kohl sponge and removing with a damp hot sponge each time.
2. Ultra A Skin Perfecting Serum - Dramatically plumps and refines skin and improves fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture and imperfections. This product has also helped so much with the clearing of my skin.
3. Ultra Moisturiser Eye Cream - A long lasting hydration that nourishes and soothes around the eyes. I find this eye cream perfect for me as I am still young and don't need anything that prevents fine lines or wrinkles. This is awesome as it moisturisers and helps when I get quite dry around the eyes.
4. Ultra Balancing Skin Mist - I tend to not use a moisturiser at night when using the Ultra A Skin Perfecting Serum as I find it quite thick and moisturising anyway. So I will sprits my face with this skin mist to add that light coverage of extra moisture before bed.

Ultra Clear Exfoliating Gel - It is really important to exfoliate regularly to remove the unwanted and dead skin from the top layer of your face. Once exfoliated, the products will soak into the skin better, and improve your skins appearance. This exfoliator gently polishes and freshens the complexion which contain gentle beads to cleanse, exfoliate and remove residue whilst maintaing the skins moisture balance. My skin feels like a babies bum after using this (which is when you know the products is good)! I try to exfoliate about 2 times a week after cleansing at night.
