There’s a reason it’s more emotional than Britney circa 2007. #letsbfrank

1. Ignoring ingredients.

Sure, you love that way that cleanser smells or that foundation makes your face looks, but did you take a look at the ingredient list? Common chemical allergens are lurking in a lot of products: stay away from things like formaldehyde and yucky petroleum.

2. Showering in boiling water.

Women seem to be able to withstand temperatures likened to the inside of a volcano when it comes to showering. A simple tip: turn the temperature down and you’ll see a reduction in redness and inflammation.

3. Exfoliating too much.

Yes, babe. I said it. There is such a thing as too much scrubbing. You should be scrubbing your face only 1 – 2 times per week if you’re a sensitive skinned babe and when you do, do it gently. Use a manual exfoliant, not a chemical one, so you can control the intensity of the process.

4. Blasting breakouts.

This week your challenge is to quit using harsh ingredients on your zits and swap for a targeted oil. Try dabbing a spot of primrose oil right on that spot for a gentle extermination. Follow with a, hydrating moisturiser that contains Shea Butter – known for it’s power anti-inflammatory properties. Perhaps, try mine?
