Riddle us this, Reader π
What costs nothing but is worth everything, weighs nothing but lasts a lifetime, and canβt be owned, but can be shared?
Love. The answer is love.

Let's Get You Beyond These Common Beauty Blunders
Weβve all made beauty mistakes... but here's the good news! Most of them are easy to correct once you know what to look out for!
With a few adjustments, you can turn things around and maintain a flawless beauty routine.
We've put together a few beauty blunders and how to fix them:

β
- Over-washing Your Face: Did you know you could be washing your face too often? Doing so can strip your skin of natural oils, leading to dry, poorly textured skin. Fix it by cleansing only twice daily with a gentle cleanser.
β
- Skipping Sunscreen: We don't care if you can't see the sun! Use your sunscreen! Forgetting SPF can lead to premature ageing and sun damage. Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, even on cloudy days.
β
- Applying Too Much Foundation: Thank God we've moved on from 'cakey' foundation! Using too much can make your skin look heavy, and can be a nightmare when washing off. Use a light hand and blend well for a natural finish.
β
- Neglecting Your neck and Chest: These areas need love too! Apply skincare products and sunscreen to your neck and chest to keep them looking youthful.
You are now armed with proper beauty knowledge!
Here's to skipping those beauty blunders and rocking your radiant self-care routine π
