So this week is not the time to be lazy in looking after your skin, especially when you want to look your tip-top best. Here is some advice from us to keep your skin looking fresh, with those pushed for time in mind (even if your exhausted on the inside....... )
* Remove your make-up before you go to bed at night. This is absolutely vital! Your skin will collect dirt on top of the make-up you are wearing, and with touching your faces during the day, these will become one of the dirtiest parts of your bodies by the end of the day. Yuck! Oil and dirt provide the ideal conditions for acne causing bacteria. So if you don't want to wake up with an extra blackhead or even worse a massive spot, cleanse and double cleanse!
* Moisturise. Moisturisers on your skin evaporate during the day, leaving your skins parched. If you want to wake up with fresher and hydrated skin (even if the odds are stacked against you...) moisturise after cleansing at night. Simple!
*Repeat. When you wake up in the morning, repeat the above steps to prep your skin for the day ahead. This will ensure makeup goes onto smooth and hydrated skin - you might even save yourself some time as you won't need to hide the fatigue under layers of makeup!
*Drink lots of water. Its a classic, but it really works at keeping your skin hydrated from the inside out. And not only that but drinking enough water throughout the day (and night) will keep your energy levels up, making you feel good and looking less fatigued.
And finally ... for that extra bit of a push, Rhian Stephenson - Nutritionist, Naturopath and CEO of Psycle, recommends taking a Vitamin B Complex to reduce tiredness and Yeebe Mate Tea, which enhances your physical endurance and the ability to focus.
So with all of this ammunition you should be able to push through the week without hitting the brick wall too hard ........
