I don’t often write beauty reviews, but I’ve recently discovered some amazing products that have helped to clear up my acne I have combination skin that gets dry in the winter and my main focus when I shop for skincare is on products that deal with hyperpigmentation and healing acne scars, after my bout of adult acne a few years back. I’d been pretty happy with my evening skincare routine and the slightly quicker morning version up until that point, with a weekly at-home DIY facial for a proper treat. I was a bit worried about this product stripping the oils from my skin but as long as I focus mainly on my oilier areas while I’m working it into my skin and follow up with a good moisturiser, I’ve had no redness or irritation.

We’ve all had more than enough time to decide where we’d like to visit next, but I’d like to encourage you to go travelling in Thailand when the time is right. Getting around Thailand can easily be done on a budget and you can take advantage of its location to pop over to neighbouring countries if you’d like to backpack through more of South East Asia. Whether you thrive in buzzing cities like Bangkok or prefer to stay close to the beach life, or maybe you crave rural life in the mountains; Thailand’s landscape offers a happy place for every type of traveller. During my time backpacking in Thailand, my friends and I hopped from postcard perfect party islands like Koh Phi Phi to the chaos of Bangkok and up north to comparatively tranquil Chiang Mai, where we visited the famously ethical Elephant Nature Park.

I take great delight in opening a new product and cautiously using it for the first time, wondering if this will be the thing that solves all of my skincare concerns / hair woes / other beauty issues. I get sent some beauty products to try directly from brands or PRs, and I always make sure I’ve given each product a thorough test before I start shouting about it. My dresser is overflowing and while I frequently have clear-outs and donate unused beauty bits to charity or my mum, I’ll always have at least three products backed up to try out when I’ve finished the product Do you know how much money I’ve spent on ‘repairing’ hair masks that make my hair feel soft for a day but don’t ultimately do any hard work?
