If you’re like me, then you really need to make these beauty resolutions. I’m low maintenance and my skincare routine is very basic – in other words I’m lazy! I hate taking off my make-up and will buy the cheapest products I can find. So I found these cool tips from L’Oreal, and I’m going to try and put them all into action this year!
Remove makeup every night
OK, so we know you’ve heard this before, but it bears repeating! Sleeping in your foundation, mascara, and eyeliner is not exactly the best idea for your skin. In fact, while you sleep, that remaining makeup can mix with the dirt and oil on the surface of your skin and this can lead to clogged pores, which can lead to breakouts and blackheads.
Use an anti-aging moisturiser
If you’ve considered putting together an anti-aging skincare routine but still haven’t yet, why not go for it this year?
Add sugar scrubs and face masks to your skincare routine
Your skin deserves a little pampering every now and then – and not just once every six months. That doesn’t mean you have to hit up the spa all the time; you can show your complexion some love right at home by using sugar scrubs and face masks a few times a week.
Bust out of your hair colour comfort zone
Envious of all the rainbow hair hues you see while scrolling through your social media feeds? Why not take a risk and paint your strands an eye-catching shade, too? Whether you love blue hair or pink hair or you prefer pastels over brights, a new hair color could be the perfect way to be a little more adventurous in 2018.
Rock a throwback shiny lip
While matte and metallic lips were beloved in 2017, 2018 is forecasted to be the year of the shiny lip. You know the makeup look – it was popular in the ‘90s and early ‘00s.
Always use a primer before makeup
Have you ever wondered why your foundation doesn’t look as smooth as your favourite beauty bloggers’? Well, while they may have a different skin type than you, it could be that you’re forgetting a very important step of your makeup routine: primer. Layering on a glowing or matte primer can make all the difference in the world, as it can create a smooth base for your makeup application.
Apply your foundation and concealer with a makeup blender
Want to create a flawless-looking complexion? It’s all about how you apply your face makeup. Instead of dabbing on your foundation or concealer with your fingers, use a makeup blender instead.
Become BFFs with sun protection
Another piece of beauty advice that’s worth listening to is taking sun protection measures daily, no matter what time of year it is. Start by applying a moisturizer with SPF as directed. Remember to reapply at least every two hours or immediately after swimming or sweating (so toss the bottle in your bag when you leave for the day!).
