Skincare Superstars

Hello beautiful friends,

Today I wanted to give some love to my favourite skincare ingredients. They are not all created equally, so whatever your skin woe is, there is guaranteed a special ingredient out there to help you on your quest for amazing skin.

First off, we have....

Vitamin C - This is the stuff. The holy grail if you will. It's anti-aging, it reduces hyper pigmentation and it gives your skin the antioxidants it needs to defend itself from free radicals. It's pretty much good for all skin types except for those of you who are extremely sensitive. If you are sensitive, it could be a little too strong for your skin to handle.

Niacinamide - Also known as Vitamin B3, this is a fantastic ingredient to look for if you have oily or acne prone skin. It's also amazing for evening out your skin tone and getting rid of any post-acne hyperpigmentation.

Retinol - Or Vitamin A. This is an anti-aging superstar. It helps speed up your skin's turnover, resulting is newer, younger looking skin. It's fantastic if you want to diminish fine lines and wrinkles. It's also an amazing ingredient if you want to treat acne and/or scarring.

Hyaluronic Acid - Probably one of my favourites! It's carries up to a thousand times its weight in water, so its excellent at hydrating your skin. If dewy skin is your thing, hyaluronic acid is your best friend. It's fabulous for anyone with dry skin and also works wonderfully for those who also have sensitive skin.

And to round out this episode of skincare superstars, we have...

Liquorice extract - This is a plant extract that packs a powerful punch. It's not only calming and soothing to red, sensitive skin, it also works wonders when it comes to creating a more even, luminous skin tone.

And there you have it folks. Hopefully, when you shop for skincare products, you'll be sure to look out for these types of ingredients! They're truly the best of the best. But remember, first and foremost you need to ensure that you stick with a good routine to truly reap the benefits of your skincare.

Love,

Tabitha

The Cool Drink That Gives You Beautiful Skin

Hey guys!

As important as skincare is, I believe that true skin health comes from the inside. In order to have beautiful skin, you take care of your body, which means eating a variety of clean foods, working out, and getting enough sleep. Having this mentality means that I am always scoping out cool new superfoods or recipes that claim to be amazing for both my skin and health. My latest obsession?

Chlorophyll Drinks.

Chlorophyll is what gives green vegetables their colour. This plant pigment is absolutely amazing; it both heals and detoxes your body. It helps in normal blood clotting, and can also prevent and aid in the healing of diseases such as cancer, fibromyalgia and arthritis. It is a potent anti-inflammatory, and it also helps to deodorize your body (SO cool). Honestly, whenever I drink it at night, the next morning I wake up and my breath is so much noticeably fresher.

It also contains so many properties that make it amazing for your skin. It's chockfull of antioxidants, for one. It also promotes detoxification, which is amazing for your body, your weight and also clears your skin. It's highly alkalizing, and also balances your hormones. It truly does it all.

The way I take chlorophyll is I mix one tablespoon of liquid chlorophyll with a full glass of water and have it in the morning before anything else enters my body. On days when I really want to detox, I'll have it at night as well before bed. You can also mix it into smoothies if having it with water is too unbearable, although I've found that the state has really grown on me!

My skin has improved so much by regularly taking chlorophyll. I highly recommend trying it out if you haven't already!
