Having great skin can give you a fantastic confidence boost. After all, who doesn’t want a soft and radiant complexion?

If you find the secret to great skin, you’ll be feeling fantastic on the inside as well as outside.

The media tries to tell us that we need to spend heaps of money on miracle creams and serums for a youthful complexion. It doesn’t have to be so costly.

I’ve come up with the following routine that, if followed daily, will very much improve your skin and complexion.

Ready to unleash a new you?

Cleanse

First of all, you need to wash your face. Ideally, you should be doing this everyday before you apply any products and makeup. Regular soap and water will do the job. You can always buy sensitive soap if regular irritates your skin.

If you’d rather buy a proper skin cleanser, take a look at Tropic Skincare for some ideas. If you have time, remember to wash your skin every evening after you take your makeup off.

This isn’t necessary, but it will give your skin chance to breathe overnight.

Tone

Just washing your face isn’t enough to get it completely clean. Your pores could still be blocked with small traces of dirt and makeup.

To ensure you are giving your face a deep-clean, apply some toner. Apply a generous layer to your face using some soft cotton wool. Then, using a clean piece of cotton wool, scrape the toner off.

This will then leave your skin feeling completely fresh and clean!

Moisturise

Next, you need to give your skin plenty of nutrients by moisturising it. There are many different moisturisers, and whichever one you go with will depend on your skin type.

If you have naturally oily skin, you will want one that is free from excess grease. For dry skin, choose one that can help lighten your face and keep it soft.

To apply your moisturiser, simply rub into the skin after toning.

Primer

Before you put your makeup on, don’t forget to apply a layer of primer! Quite a few girls forget about this stage after moisturising and go straight into applying their makeup. They’re missing out on all the benefits of primer!

This miracle cream helps create an even layer on your skin and evens out lumps and bumps. It also prevents blemishes from showing through your makeup.

Now you are all ready to apply foundation, mascara and lipstick.

Always Remove Makeup

This last step is so important to maintaining healthy skin. No matter how tired you may be at the end of a busy day, don’t crawl into bed with your makeup still on!

If you do, not only will you cover your bed sheets in foundation, but your skin will be clogged up for the whole night.

Use makeup wipes to effectively get rid of all the products you’ve been wearing throughout the day. Give your face a quick rinse with fresh water to liven it up.

Time to get your beauty sleep so you can do this all again tomorrow!
