The Beauty Basics

I am a true believer in beauty is from the inside out, and happiness shines through.
But We all need a helping hand in Our hectic lives, When it comes to Our hair and skin that we abuse 24/7
there is nothing like a bouncy blow dry or a deep exfoliation to lift the spirits, If you look good you feel great...!!! And with Summer on Our doorstep (just about if you live in Ireland!) it means more skin on show, longer days and later night so of course You want to look your best :)


Debs Rules Of Beauty

1) Know when to splurge and when to save, Ask yourself What good is it having an expensive foundation if your not taking care of that skin your trying to cover! Can not stress enough how important using good skincare brands is..!!

2) Take a high quality multi-vitamin everyday, drink at least 8 glasses of water and exercise.. good for the mind, body and soul (it shines through!) you could buy a whole MAC store it still won't cover up your sins..!

3) Don't smoke, dulls the skin along with all the health risk..!

4) Always use a factor, Sun damage is not sexy..!

5) Get your fair share of beauty sleep

6) LESS IS MORE, make-up, tan, hair styling just don't over do it, work with your natural beauty don't hide        
   it..!

7) Laugh.Relax.Enjoy life

8) Eyebrows really frame the face, skinny brows are a big no no..!

9) Get your hair trimmed on a regular basis to keep your locks healthy..!

10) Make time for yourself, weather its twenty mins to paint your nails or a spa day, you need to look after yourself, take a break, no excuses you deserve it..!!!


How do I improve my skin..??

Always cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize and use an SPF
With regards to skincare products, you have two options:

1) Spend the money on decent creams (avoid cosmetic brands, full of perfumes ect.)
2) Go the natural route and make at home lotions and potions DIY masks ect.

My personal favorite is Dermalogica,  products cost more than supermarket brands but has always worked for me, and being the World's number one skincare brand, it's well worth a try, no matter what your skin type..! Covers all skin concern..!

I LOVE Dermalogica's Daily microfoliant, cannot stress how much exfoliation is a necessity and this product is great for Sensitive skin, Break out prone skin and well basically all skin types..!!

Skin no no's

Never pick at breakouts, as tempting as it is, when you pick, You can spread the contents deep into the oil gland which in turn causes infection and spreads breakouts

Make-up remover wipes strip the skins natural protective layer, only use when you really need to (after a night out on the tiles!!)

Avoid cheap brands, especially for your face as a wise Woman once told me 'buy cheap, pay twice'


Natural Remedies 


For breakouts tea tree oil is AMAZING available at most health shops, Be careful as it can dry your skin so always apply directly to spot with a cotton bud..!!

For Dehydrated skin, Mix 2 drops of lavender oil with baking soda and water until it becomes a paste, Apply to face leave for 5 mins, rinse and moisturize

For Dull skin, Put aloe vera gel in the freezer for 20 mins pat it on your face for ten mins, rinse
