So I have lots of conversations with people about my favourite skincare products and I'm sharing it with you today via my latest video!

My skin has thankfully cleared up a LOT but the goal is to get smooth, shine-free and even skin, with no blemishes or scars. Aka dream skin, but is it possible?  As a resident beauty junkie, I've tried a whole host of products - some good, some not so good - but there are definitely some which have had a real impact on my dream skin goals. 


Today, I'm going to talk about the products which I've bought again and again. (and in some cases, more than that!)



So check out my video below and let me know what you think?

VIDEO: My Skincare Routine for Combination/Oily Skin!

Hi team! Little skin moan today. I don't know about you, but when I get spots, they ALWAYS leave behind a small scar. Even when I resist from touching it!

 I've been producing a video about my skincare routine and one of my main skincare concerns is how to get rid of acne scars and dark marks. Oh yeah, and prevent any spots from coming back! I'm in my twenties, I'm not meant to get spots anymore!!

So in February, I had a Lightenex facial at The Hyperpigmentation Clinic to try and even out my skintone. Following on from then, I've been using the Acnex pigmentation cream to keep up the attack on my acne scars and also prevent acne from returning. But what were the results like?



First of all, let's talk pigmentation - if you dun know yet, get to know! The first step in dealing with skin issues is to understand why they happen. Check out the science part in my Lightenex pigmentation post.

Pharmaclinix Acnex Cream - Before & After

Nothing signals natural beauty like smooth, glowing, even skin. But even skintone can be hard to achieve in this world. The stress of 'living it large' or even just your day job can trigger acne, inflammation and spots. And exposure to the sun without sunscreen (even in this grey cloudy weather!) leaves skin open to UV damage, permanent dark marks and other irregular blemishes.
I don't know about you guys but every time I get a spot, a dark mark gets left behind once the spot has gone. Its like the inconsiderate pimple has been camping on my face and then left a patch of mud and debris there upon departure.  And the grass doesn't grow back for ages, so I'm left with a dark mark for months! Do any of you get this too??
This darkening of the skin occurs more frequently in asian, arabic and darker skin types and is known as hyperpigmentation. 
Here's the science part... Hyper Pigmentation occurs when the skin produces too much melanin (the coloured pigment in hair and skin) This often occurs after some sort of trauma - like spots, skin damage, medication or UV exposure - and the over-production of melanin darkens the area.

The Hyperpigmentation Clinic pretty much does what it says! Providing a range of skin-tone correcting services including facials, peels and products, I visited The Hyperpigmentation Clinic this week for a Lightenex Facial....
