Clear Skin Challenge: New Products I'm Using

Im a week into this challenge and so far I think its going well, or at least it started off well...
I was eaten healthy at the start and it went down hill from there, I also haven't been drinking water which doesn't help.

I always see people talking about eating healthy to help keep your skin clear, and to an extent I believed it but didn't think it would have a massive impact. Oh how I was wrong! Im a self-confessed chocolate eating, crisp munching, coke drinking addict. But I have been eating pretty healthy for a few weeks so I it helped my skin and when that began to go down hill and I wanted to eat everything in sight (hormones right? But not that time of the month) my skin changed.

I got more blemished and my dark circles got darker. But I have bought some more skiing care products that I feel helped so here is my list.

• Nivea Daily Essentials Sensitive Cleansing Milk
• Nivea Daily Essentials Soothing Cleansing Mousse
• Nivea Daily Essentials Gentle Cleansing Cream Wash
• Simple Kind To Skin Replenishing Rich Moisturiser

As you can see most of it was Nivea which was totally accidental, I bought them on separate occasions from different stores, whenever I was walking past skin care I could just feel myself been draw to them, which I'm glad of because these are amazing for your skin.

These products are so gentle for your skin but I think they make a big different and I now live by them.

For the simple moisturiser I chose this because I have the simp foaming cleaners and the day cream, both of which I love, and I wanted something that wasn't going to be full chemicals and irritate my skin but works with the other products I have so it was a no brainer.

From these pictures (I'm sorry they are blurry) you can see most of my blemishes have gone down and I just need to stop the scarring, also try and reduce the redness around my nose. 

I have no idea why this is the wrong way.

*also I will be doing more in-depth reviews of the new products I have bought.

Clear Skin Challenge

My skin has slowly been getting worse over the past 8 or so months, I think I was quite lucky as a young teen because I was a 'late bloomer' so it wasn't until my later teens where my skin began to change. I will look at my self everyday and be annoyed about by skin but then did nothing about it, but now I'm changing my ways!

Today I will be starting my own Clear Skin Challenge, I feel if I turn it into a challenge and document what it is I'm doing then I will be more likely to stick to it.

I will be documenting food that I eat as well as skin care products that I use and any products I use I will write a seperate review for! Iv got my filofax ready and it is now dedicated to this challenge so I can fill it in each day.

I have some 'before' pictures to show and I will add on after pictures in14 days.

These first pictures I took in my bathroom the lighting is just the sun through the window and no other lighting. 

And these last two are taken at night before bed with the bathroom light on.

As you can see my skin isn't ridiculously bad or out of hand but I have many trouble points.

I would say I have dry-combination skin, and as I'm getting older my skin is getting more on the dry side but then it will flip and become really oily. I have a lot of redness around my nose and at the moment I have one of those spots that grow huge, are really red and is really painful so I'm excited to see what products work to help that.

I have really dark under eye circles and on my left side it is slightly puffy like iv been crying and the right is generally flat darker. The area under my cheek bone is getting worse, I never usually got spots there before but now I do I like to call it 'contouring with acne'. As for my skin tone, I have medium-olive skin and my face is the palest part of my body, and I have really uneven skin tone, a lot of the times I will have ashy grey areas that look like death warmed up or yellow tones.


So there is the low down on my skin, lets see if I can change it! I hope you guys stick around to see it out.

Thanks for reading.

 Ps. I look happy in my pictures right!?!? I really hate having pictures taken sorry guys.

Simple At Home Workout

I know that not everyone is able to go to the gym so I thought I would share with you guys a super simple workout that you guys can do at home, that doesn't need any equipment.

Before I start I would like to say that I am in no way an expert and I recommend you speak to an expert before doing these exercises because if you do some of these wrong you can do more damage than good. If you don't have an expert at hand then there are plenty of tutorials on youtube, I suggest Livestrong or Livestrongwomen.


-15 Crunches with leg lift (I have my legs propped up at a 45 degree angle on a chair)
-15 Tricep dips
-20 calf raises
-15 sumo squats
-30 bicycle crunches
-30 mountain climbers

Do 3 sets of these.

I hope you guys like this kind of post, if you would like more then comment or tweet me.

Summerish Clothing Wish List

I know that summer will soon be over, especially in the UK we had like four sunny days and now the rain is ready to take over. But I have made this list of things I wanted to add to my wardrobe over the summer, some I have added.

• White skinny jeans.
• A some dungarees, long or short
• a striped tee
• a pair of brown chelsea boots. (I found a pair for sale on ASOS, £20)
• White Slip-ons (i bought from New Look, £17.99)
• Pinafore dress
• Red and black check shirt
• Patterned shirts and blouses 

These are the things i have been searching for, I feel that these few items could make so many different looks, but they can also transistion in to autumn/winter, especially if you have a long pair of dungarees.
