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!

My Night Skin Care Routine!
Hi Everyone!
As we know, Winter is weeks away! Even though it is one of the most wonderful and beautiful times of year it can do a lot of damage to our skin. I have a set skin care routine for all year round too keep my skin looking fresh and hydrated!
After snuggling into my pajamas and tying my hair back I wash my face with 'Clean & Clear Exfoliating Daily Wash'. My skin is very acne prone due to it being slightly oily. However, this face wash works as it is oil free and I find it unblocks pores well. I use this to remove the makeup and make my skin feel fresh and treated.

Secondly, I use 'Witch Hazel'. This is a herbal liquid that is used to clear up break outs and acts as a second cleanse for the skin to make sure it is 100% makeup or dirt free! I buy this from my local chemist/drugstore or you can buy it from retailers such as Boots. Apply it with a cotton wool pad, onto red or acne prone areas and leave to dry into your skin. Don't be afraid to be generous!
Finally, I use a 'Olay Essentials Complete Care Night Cream' Moisturizer. This product is supposed to care for normal, dry and oily skin. I love using this moisturizer as your skin can feel slightly tight after using the 'Witch Hazel' and it makes my skin relax and feel soft and hydrated.
As you can see all of these products are cheap and all high street brands.
What's your favourite product of your night skin care routine?
Thank you all for reading!
I love you

My 5 Fragrances
As promised here is my collection of fragrances which I hope you enjoy. They vary in price range and I have listed the prices from 'The Perfume Shop' for you in bold!
My first perfume is 'Ghost - Whisper'. I got this a couple of years ago on a plane. I use this perfume as a daily scent as it smells quite sweet. The bottle is a pretty transparent to opaque ombre effect which I believe suits the name perfectly. I'm not sure if they still do the original 'Whisper' but you can buy 'Whisper Blush' here .
Around £25
The second perfume is 'Charlie - Red' perfume by 'Revlon'. This scent is another that I use daily and as you can see it is almost empty. It is quite a strong, floral fragrance but it lasts a long time and smells amazing - especially for such a cheap product. I know the price may put you off it as cheap perfumes tend to not smell very nice but I definitely recommend this especially after Gym/ PE class! I absolutely love the 'Charlie - Red' fragrances and they are a definite staple fragrance for me. If you have used the 'Revlon Charlie' body sprays before I know you'll love this. The bottle isn't much to look at but I promise it smells nice. You'd be silly to miss out on this bargain! You can find it here .
£4.99!!!
Thirdly is 'One Direction - Our Moment'. As a One Direction fan I grabbed this perfume as soon as it was released last year but I have been back and had to buy a second bottle as I genuinely love this fragrance! This is a mix of a fruity and floral scent and even if you despise One Direction once you smell this product you will love it! I use this fragrance for various occasions and it lasts through out the day. There are various sizes which is perfect for if you want to slip it into your bag. With a gorgeous pink bottle it looks amazing sitting on your dresser too! You can find it here .
30ml - £19.99
My fourth fragrance is 'Victoria's Secret - Tease'. I have only just got this perfume from the airport on my way back from Turkey but I instantly fell in love with this when I first smelt it in the shop. This is a more warm and mature scent which is quite different to the other perfume's so far. I will probably only wear this perfume for special occasions and outings as I will try to savor. The black bottle has an actual squeeze pump instead of a built in pump. I can't wait to wear this! You can find this here .
Around £30
The final perfume is 'Marc Jacobs - Daisy'. I recently got this as a birthday present off my Auntie and I love it! This is obviously a very floral scent and I love it! This was released a while ago but it's signature cluster of daisies on the top make it look beautiful when placed on your dresser! Again, it is quite pricey which means I will only wear this one for special occasions and outings. You can find it here .
50ml - £51.50
I hope you enjoyed looking at my fragrance collection!
