SKINCARE: HOW I DEAL WITH SPOTS

We're only human and as a teenager we are obviously going to get spots whether that is frequently or rarely. I only ever seem to have a couple of days where I am spot free but I do as much as I can to try and keep them at bay. Here's what I do:

1) WASH FACE TWICE A DAY
Once on a morning and once on a night is just right and something everyone should do to clear away the dirt on your skin. Dirty skin = spots.

2) WITCH HAZEL
This is literally my holy grail! My older cousin told me to start using it when I first started getting my spots. It is very similar to a toner (of which I still sometimes use before hand) but it contains only natural ingredients and really helps to calm spots that are irritated or hurting. Also it sometimes can bring out your spot and give it a head which makes your spots more managable, rather than just a random lump on your cheek.

3) SUDOCREAM
This is the best hack ever! This is another thing my older cousin told me to start doing and it honestly works wonders! It's antiseptic too which means it really cleanses your skin. However, in some areas of my skin I can get quite oily so instead of putting it on over night, I put it on a few hours before bed, let it do its magic and wipe it off so I don't get oily and it causes more issues.

4) FACE MASKS
This is something I've only just started doing but it gives my skin some love and is really easy! Most places sell these so they're easy to grab and there is a variety of them that focus on different things. I love my one from Lush which is 'Mask of Magnaminty'.

5) MOISTURISE!!!
If you're going to use all of these things on your skin then you need to keep it fresh and soft which is exactly what moisturiser does!

Make Every Day Count

Today I want to cover a serious topic ahead of Christmas. If you saw my tweet last night you may understand why I am writing this.

Recently in the news, there has been so many tragedies where people's loved ones have been taken away from them right before Christmas (which I'm sure most of you have heard about). I can't begin to imagine how it must feel to have someone you love taken away from you at this time of year especially when it is about being with family and loving the people around you.

Yesterday in particular it hit me. Life is unpredictable. You never know what could happen tomorrow and yet we are still selfish and unappreciative of everything. It's not right! I hear people say how much they don't like their parents or a certain family member but why? Why don't you like them?They're still you're family no matter what. They rely on you to pick them up and help them learn through their journey through life. Some people don't have their loved ones to share precious moments with.

I know two people who will both be spending this Christmas without their mothers for the first time. I can't imagine what that must feel like for them. It's not fair. Life's not fair but we must appreciate what we have because tomorrow is another day and everything we know could be ripped from us. I would never wish something like that on anyone because I think this is one of the worst things that could ever happen to us.

I'm sorry to put such a downer on you just a couple of days before Christmas but I feel like this needed to be said. If you don't take anything else from this, please just remember to be grateful and show love to you're family this Christmas and just remember there are people who are struggling from loosing a lost one right this moment and keep those people in you're mind one day (touch wood that it isn't) it could be you.

If you are ever needing to talk to someone about a difficult time then please don't hesitate to tweet me asking for help, message me on Instagram or even leave a comment in this post. I'm always here for you all.

Thank you for reading.
