My New Summer Look

Hello fellow bloggers! 


I have been trying different mascara's this month, I feel in the summer the look I find best is 

  • Tinted moisturiser with a little blush on the cheeks.
  • Mushroom/beige minimal shimmer on lids and crease.
  • Mascara to really bring out the lashes.
This has been a look used by some designers for their Spring/Summer Collections, it seems 'Au Naturale' is coming back, I for one (and my boyfriend) much prefer a more subtle natural look, often people have great skin in the summer due to the (hopefully) lovely sunshine overloading our skin with feel-good endorphins and Vitamin D.

I also have some great products for keeping your skin in good shape.  I myself suffer from hyper-hydrosis (where I can sweat for no real reason, or my sweat glands are very sensitive) so when its hot, I am prone to spots.

I have a 3 times a week routine whereby I use my facial sauna for around 10 minutes to open the pores, I then then St Ives Apricot Scrub to get all the last bits of grime out of my skin, then I use Clean and Clear Deep Action Cream wash, I use it to reduce redness as it cools and soothes the skin - completing my routine! 

Also every fortnight I treat myself to a Montage Jeunesse face-pack/mask, they are usually £1 each and you get lots in them - so share with a friend ;) 

Also a little tip - multivitamin's/cod liver oil supplements aren't just beneficial during Autumn/Winter but also Spring/Summer for a little top-up on what we are getting from the sun.
