- You are obsessed with your pores. They do not open and close like doors. You say they are HUGE – then send me a picture and I can SEE NOTHING. We cannot see your pores. The only person that can see your pores close-up is your ophthalmologist – or your boyfriend. Your ophthalmologist is looking at your eyes. Not your pores. And if your boyfriend is thisclosetoyou and notices your pores? He’s gay. Or not attracted to you. Or at best, rude. Rethink the entire relationship.
- You overuse facial tools. A lot of you. You can use it – you’re just not meant to use it every time you brush your teeth. Step away from the trendy facial tool and just wash your face properly.
- Nothing good ever came from scrubbing your face with a peach kernel. There’s a reason they are 99p. Step away from St Ives.
- In general, foaming is what you want Fairy Liquid to do. Not your cleanser. And to the brands: please stop regurgitating the same formulas and recommending them to the same skins. Foaming is NOT best for acne.
- Freckles are cute. At any age. You will do damage to your skin trying to get rid of them. Leave them alone. Embrace them.
- Stress is the key to most flare-ups, whether they are acne, rosacea or eczema. Practice relaxation. And not in some hippy-dippy way. Seriously. See the bigger picture. Chill.
- Inflammation is the root of all evil. Eat less sugar, take more fish oil supplements, vitamin D and probiotics.
- Natural doesn’t mean you won’t react. Essential oils can also be a trigger/allergen for skin.
- ‘Dupes’ belong in makeup and nail varnish. There is no ‘dupe’ for a high quality, years-of-research-behind-it skincare product. Just because the packaging looks the same it does not mean the juice is similar.
