I think we all saw the post that said “𝟔𝟎% 𝒐𝒇 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒑𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒏 𝒈𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏 𝟐𝟔 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒔…” – Happy to report I am injecting 🍃plant power into my blood!🍃!

TURNS OUT THE FACTS WERE TOTAL BULL FOR 60% but still let’s preach the #PlantPower 👌🏻 Skin Queen Caroline Hirons called the post out, labelling it “clean beauty fearmongering”.

Face Oil + Hyaluronic Acid = visibly happy skin.

I find using any of these oils alongside @theinkylist’s hyaluronic acid gives me that radiant glowy look AKA it helps keep my skin hydrated for longer. Hyaluronic acid is renowned for its ability to hydrate skin. More facts here.

The word “acid” frightens some people, but you don’t need to worry about this skincare ingredient as it occurs naturally and is super gentle! But if you don’t use it right, you could end up with even drier skin than before.
TIPS:

NEVER apply hyaluronic acid over oil – ALWAYS HA then Oils.
ALWAYS ensure your face is damp before applying HA
Start at a low percentage (less than 5%) HA then build-up

ANOTHER BRAIN DUMP – MOISTURISER!!

Decent moisturisers must be able to stop water from leaving the skin and evaporating into the air. I’ve researched and found that “the most effective moisturizers also contain ingredients called occlusives” that do just that.

Occlusive ingredients include:

butter’s like shea and cocoa
oils like avocado
beeswax and carnauba wax
lanolin and stearic acids

Read more about why Occlusive ingredients benefit dry skin here.

If you review a lot of your Eczema products I’m sure you’ll find a lot of these occlusives hiding. These ingredients go a long way to help keep dry skin at bay. Got lots of articles to share just DM me !!
