Choosing the right serum for you🙌

Serums are a great way to target specific skin concerns, in the day and at night. Whether you struggle with oiliness or your skin is dehydrated, there’s a serum out there to help you tackle these issues head-on. So let’s take a look at which serums are best suited to certain skin types 🧐 

Oily skin - A great serum for oily skin is one that contains azelaic acid as its main ingredient. Azelaic acid improves skin texture, lightens discolouration and helps keep breakouts at bay. The Ordinary’s azelaic acid suspension is silicone-based, which means that it’ll soak up any excess oil on your skin and give you a lovely, matte finish while evening out skin tone over time.

Dry skin - Dry skin would benefit wonderfully from a hyaluronic acid serum. Hyaluronic acid works by retaining the moisture in your skin, and so your moisturiser will work a lot harder when layered on top of a serum including this ingredient. It can also protect your skin from pollution and give your skin a plumped-up look. As it’s not irritating, any skin type can reap its benefits too!

Sensitive skin - A serum containing dragon’s blood is a fab option for those with sensitive skin. It’s a type of tree resin that works by repairing, restoring and healing the skin, while adding a shot of hydration straight away. A popular dragon’s blood serum is one made by Nip + Fab, and it has great reviews for its ability to smooth and soften the skin. Another product you could try is the Water Boost Hydrating Booster by Simple - it soothes tight skin with its blend of minerals and plant extract. 

Breakout-prone skin - A holy grail product for breakout-prone skin is a niacinamide serum. Niacinamide has an anti-inflammatory effect on spots and prevents others from forming, all while being gentle and non-irritating even with daily use. I absolutely love Revolution Skincare’s niacinamide serum, as a little goes a long way and it’s one of the only products that helps control my breakouts. It contains zinc too, which calms down spots in no time.

Salicylic Acid.

The important ingredient our skin needs when suffering acne/breakouts/redness!

Always look for this ingredient as salicylic acid is highly anti-inflammatory and works miracles on calming down red, inflamed and 'angry' skin and it's also perfect for anyone that suffers with breakouts due to its potent acne-fighting properties that make it an ingredient in many of the best acne treatments.

I have been using the Nip + Fab salicylic serum and the photo is it on my skin. It is sticky but leave it on 5 minutes before you put on your moisturiser.

My routine:

Milky Jelly Cleanser (Glossier)

Sheet mask (any kind, I like a Holika Holika mask)

Salicylic Acid Toner (Nip + Fab)

Salicylic Acid Serum (Nip + Fab)

I use a cold jade roller to roll the serum so I get it all in the right places and the cold roller helps with the face mask to use all the product soak into the skin!

Here is the one I use from Beauty Bay

Then I moisturise!

Any other great salicylic acid serums or products to use please advise!

Hey everyone,

So recently I stayed in Brighton for s few days (if you don’t live in the U.K. it’s a seaside town) and wanted to do a mini haul post of some bits I picked up there and minus the Mac lipstick everything was on discount.

My first stop was the M.A.C shop in the lanes because I’ve been after the Lipstick in the shade blankety for ages but is most London stores it’s out of stock. The lipstick a Satan creme lipstick that is a nude pink shade, I don’t normally go for creme lipsticks because they don’t last as long as a matte lipstick but I couldn’t resist the colour is gorgeous. This lipstick was £17.50 which we can all agree is a little pricey but since I was on holiday I decided to treat myself.

My next stop was the brilliant TK MAXX which by now we know I love but I always find that the Brighton store has all the best stuff especially the cosmetics collection. Everything I got was ridiculously cheap like I’m surprised they didn’t tell me it was priced wrong. So first up we have nail polishes, I adore Nails Inc varnishes but they are expensive so I wait for my TK MAXX visits. The first set I picked up was the two varnish pack for £4.99 which normal price was £17.99 bargain or what!!!! This pack comes with a gorgeous blue shimmer called Denim and creamy white shade, I love blue nail varnishes and what’s insane is one by itself normal price is £11.50 so to get two for £4.99 is bonkers. When I was browsing the varnishes I also noticed another pack but thus time it’s a three pack that was reduced to £6.99 from £24.99 .... I’m gonna give you a moment to process that. CRAZY RIGHT?!? In the 3 polish set the colours were a lot more brighter and boarder line neon which are my favourite, in this pack you get a bright blue, bright orange and a grey. As you can see I had a great time in the nails display.

Next up we have skin care! Now for some reason TK MAXX had a massive display of Nip + Fab skin care which I’ve always wanted to try but thought it was too expensive. So low and behold I found two products to try, the first was Dragon’s Blood Fix Plumping Serum that was reduced to £6.99 from £19.95. Now if I’m behind honest if this wasn’t reduced so much I probably wouldn’t have bothered but the price was correct so it was the perfect opportunity. This product is meant to make your skin look more hydrated and healthy which so far I must admit is really working for me so I’m kicking myself for not getting another bottle but oh well. The second Nip + Fab product was the “anti- aging eye gel” now I know I’m only mid twenties but given my sleeping pattern my under eyes need all the help they can get and this feels amazing on under eyes, it basically hydrates your eyes taking away greyness and the look of tiredness.

In terms of shopping I didn’t get too carried away but it was fun to hunt down some great bargains.

Lots of love

REVIEW - Nip + Fab skincare

REVIEW – Nip + Fab skincare

I’ve been doing a lot of reviews recently as I’ve no control over my spending and if I write about what I’ve bought on here then it doesn’t seem as bad! Nip + Fab was a brand that caught my attention after my favourite YouTuber Jamie Genevieve reviewed their ‘Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads’ and her skin looked amazing so I had to try them. Currently Superdrug has selected Nip + Fab products…

Let’s talk - the Nip + Fab Dragon’s Blood FIX Plumping Serum.

Truthfully, I saw this in a magazine article featuring Ashley Benson of PLL fame. Girl has fabulous skin, so clearly it was time for a trip to Ulta.

Nip + Fab is a skincare company that retails at Ulta at affordable prices (this serum sells for $19.99 on their website!!). They make cleansers, toning pads, serums, spot treatments, moisturizers, and so so so SO much more! Even Kylie Jenner is a fan. It seems young Hollywood has a budding fascination with the brand, and it’s easy to see why.

Recently I’ve become less concerned with acne fighting and much more concerned with age-fighting. As seen in my HA blog post, Hyaluronic Acid is a power player in the war on wrinkles. I’ve added this serum, along with my Glossier Super Bounce , to help keep my skin adequately hydrated. Even oily ladies have to keep their skin moisturized, otherwise aging, acne, and potentially even MORE oil await (yuck!)

I find that a few minutes after applying this serum, my face feels smoother and much more plump and firm. I also try to run it down my neck. Everybody forgets the neck when applying skincare products, but you don’t want to be 35 with a 65 year old’s neck! So bring your serum down to the neck (in upward strokes though, gravity doesn’t need any help doing what it’s born to do!!!)

Anywho, do you have any favorites from Nip and Fab? I’m desperate to get my hands on their Bee Sting Fix line! Let me know, and while you’re at it, check out my Instagram. Love always!
