Vitamin C, the holy grail of brightening, anti-ageing and turning back the clock, oh how I love it! Let me first say that this is not sponsored (unfortunately); I have been sent no free products from my fave skincare line; Indeed Labs . I am simply a skincare fangirl for this amazing range that has transformed my anti-ageing skincare regime over the last few years. Earlier in the summer Indeed Labs FINALLY launched a Vitamin C serum . Anyone who has tried to find a good Vitamin C serum will know just how expensive it can get. This one from Indeed Labs is not cheap but doable at £24.99 - especially when you take into account the special offers at Boots and how little product you actually need. Vitamin C24 My favourite anti-oxidant comes in the form of L-Ascorbic Acid at a whopping 22%; it's a thick cream with a texture unlike anything else I've used. It absorbs quickly, turns my face completely matte and gives a slight stinging sensation which is totally normal and strangely re...

When shop for ingredients and not products you'll really kick your skincare routine into overdrive. Layering skincare is a great way to make sure your skin is getting all the ingredients it needs, but here I have 3 specific examples which are often misunderstood, misused and marketed poorly. We’ve all seen those beautiful, prestigious beauty counters; a giant poster of a glamourous celebrity face ,  a podium with a spotlight shining down onto a gorgeous bottle with a gleaming silver cap , and golden lettering – and we want it! But if we step back and see through all the nonsense to the actual product, we’ll not only save a heap of cash but build a great regime that fits our skin. 3 of the most mis-marketed and mis-used products are Vitamin C, Retinol and Chemical exfoliants, aka salicylic acid and glycolic acid . These 3 powerhouses of skincare are known for their retexturising, anti-wrinkle and anti-ageing properties but need to be used in a very specific way or you may as...

Something about the dark nights and cold weather makes our  Winter beauty regime seem more like a chore. I don't know about you but I'm much lazier in the colder seasons - I just can't be bothered! If that sounds like you or you just want the whole thing to be a lot easier,  here are some short cuts and cheats for your Autumn/Winter Beauty routine. 1. Hand Cream I'm always buying it and never using it! Cheat: Make it much more convenient by keeping a tube  in your handbag, in your car, and/or by your bed. Whip it out at any boring moments during your day and pass 20-30 seconds massaging it in. Bonus tip: only use a very small amount so it sinks in twice as quick! 2. Facemasks Moisturising/hydrating/brightening facemasks are  particularly important at this time of year check out the perfect times to apply your facemask to get the most out of them. Cheat: Use an  overnight mask - no waiting, no mess, no shockingly cold sheet masks (brr!). Choose a special...
