Hi guys! It’s been a while (2 weeks to be exact). I apologize for no post last week, I’ve been a counselor at a local theatre camp! While working with kids is such a joy, it’s also extremely tiring, and last week I was super burnt out. In any case, I am back with a brand new post for you! Today I’m talking all about gorgeous skin and how it isn’t as hard to have as you might think. It’s a common misconception that expensive skincare products equal better quality, but this is absolutely NOT true! All of the products I mention are under $10 and completely cruelty free. To hear how I keep my skin clear and glowing without breaking the bank or harming any animals, read on!
1. Alba Botanica Good & Clean is my new favorite face wash. It has a formula designed specifically for sensitive skin, so if you have sensitive skin like me, I would highly recommend using this stuff. It also smells like fruit which is an added bonus! Of course, it’s made from 100% vegetarian ingredients. Alba Botanica prides itself on being a cruelty free company, so no bunnies were harmed! 🙂
2. Stridex. I use this to tone my face after I wash it. In three words: this. works. fast. Overnight, I already saw improvement in my skin, in that it seemed to dry up my pimples instantly. Hey, they don’t call this stuff “maximum strength” for nothing. My mom used Stridex as a teenager as well, so it’s been around a while and is reputable and reliable.
3. Once every few weeks, I use a mask to give my skin the TLC it needs. My favorite masks to use at the moment are the ones from the brand Tonymoly. My personal faves are the Lemon, Red Wine, Pomegranate, and Aloe masks.
4. Diet. As a vegan, I eat loads of plant based foods like fruits, veggies, and nuts. Eating healthy and drinking LOTS of water (8 glasses a day AT LEAST!) are monumental in developing clear skin naturally.
5. Sleep. So underrated but SO important. I try to get at least 8 hours a night, but that goal gets harder in the school year when you’re up until midnight finishing homework and you have to get up at 6:00 A.M.
Hope you guys are enjoying summer so far! What are your skincare secrets? Lmk in the comments.
