◤ ✕・。┊DAMN.

drink at least 1.5 - 2 litres of water a day

use rosewater as a toner. it has so many benefits.  

wash your pillowcases regularly to prevent break outs.

do NOT use coconut oil as a moisturiser; it’s comedogenic, which means it clogs pores.

always apply sunscreen to your face (even if you’re brown) as it lessens the chance of sunspots and deepening already existing pigmentation. 

lush ultrabalm is a really good multi-use product! you can use it to heal tattoos, as a lipbalm or to ease dry elbows. i like to apply it to my eyebrows for a naturally done-ish eyebrow look when i’m not wearing makeup. 

always double cleanse at night; one time to remove any excess makeup and residue and another time to deep cleanse.

exfoliate. i recommend a chemical exfoliation! you can do these at home with dr. dennis gross alpha beta peel ($$) or even the pixi glow tonic to-go exfoliating toner pads.

the makeup eraser is a great makeup remover, also eco-friendly. just use water! (although you still need to cleanse afterwards and not ideal for travelling). 

DON’T put your face directly towards the shower head when showering, esp if you have sensitive skin. It can irritate capillaries.

if you’re looking for a good skincare tool, use a konjac sponge! keep in mind they need to be replaced regularly.

wash your makeup brushes regularly! i recommend at least spraying them with brush cleaner after every use. especially with your foundation brushes, as foundation gets caked in and is much harder to get out when you’re washing it!

use oils. even if you’re oily. but figure out you skin type first!

once you have, check out this article by byrdie for a guide to skincare for every skin type.

don’t put these things on your face.

invest in your skincare, or if you can’t, at least go for a more natural alternative. some semi-affordable skincare brands i love are pixi, the ordinary and sukin. 

use a face mask once a week! i recommend a dry clay mask (one you have to mix with water to activate) because it contains less to no preservatives and is often much more better your skin.

if you know me, you know i’m lowkey (highkey) a very emotional, sappy person. all the drama and negativity on tumblr lately has affected my mood terribly so, in the light of all that, i decided to spread some positivity & make a follow forever. i also apologize in advance if i forget anyone.  warning: sappiness ahead!!

there a few people i’m very close to on here, to all of them i just wanted to say thank you. not only for following me but for always being so caring and for always having a nice word to say. you’re all important and special in your own beautiful unique ways and i couldn’t be happier to have crossed paths with you.

to those i’m not that close to but still have an impact on my life in a way or another, those i follow and those who follow me i’m still happy to see you on the dash. i’m very selective but just because i always choose to surround myself with people who are real and who are trying to better themselves and who have a positive outlook on life. i hope life brings you everything your hearts desire & i hope you have the courage to fight for it.

also known as the person who has put up with me every single day for the past 8 months whom i’m insanely grateful for.

@gocdgcnebcd: i could on and on about how much you actually mean to me but you’d definitely tell me off so i just want you to know that dude, you’re my dude,  you’re pretty cool and our ships are pretty rad too.

also known as not only the people who have one (or more threads with), but who captivate me and inspire me to be a better writer as well as a better person. i love every single one of you and i hope you know that you truly are amazing people with beautiful things to offer to the world. life can and will get hard sometimes but thinking there’s nothing ahead of that moment is the biggest lie you can tell yourself. surround yourself with people that reflect your kindness, that inspire you to be better and support you no matter what. ♡♡
