Blemish Control

We all go through periods, long and short, of irritated skin - we’re all human. Either hormonally or due to external factors being; stress, pollution or even over use of products. Personally, I deal with hormonal skin, which can be really frustrating. I look back and laugh at some of the hilarious at-home treatments I’ve tried to banish my blemishes: toothpaste, harsh acids, and if that fails, going full on attack-mode and picking my skin - we’ve all been there!

But having tried and tested a range of products, I have finally found what works for me and wanted to share some of my knowledge. Something I really do think works is stripping back to the basics - drinking plenty of water and keeping your skin routine simple. We all weirdly feel pressure when not following a 10-step skincare routine for the day and night, but sometimes less is more. I only started adding steps into my routine when I had something to resolve e.g. acne, fine lines, pigmentation, resurfacing or intense dryness or oiliness.

Hello, World!

Spotlight on Squish Beauty:

A company that I’ve recently been loving incorporating into my blemish control skincare routine is Squish Beauty, which is new company created by model and total Queen Charli Howard. Their products are so playful and even better is that they actually work. My personal favourite are the flower acne patches, which I use whenever I have a breakout - who knew spot treatments could be so cute?!

Aside from their adorable patches, Squish do the sweetest cherry shaped eye and cheek jelly masks and a super hydrating moisturiser.
