Make My Skin Glow? Use Exfoliating Gloves or Ask Skincare Ireland!

We all want to have glowing skin that is clear and blemish-free but how do we achieve this?  Heartworks Skincare Ireland can help.  Below are a few tips to help you on this journey.  Besides exfoliating gloves, you can make all these yourself.

APPLE FACE MASK

Let's start with an apple mask - a good place to start!  Full of vitamin C from the apple and ascorbic acid from the lemon juice, and antioxidants from the cranberry seed oil - great for clearing blemishes on the skin and keeping skin healthy and glowing

INGREDIENTS

1 freshly grated apple (can be a cooking apple or a green apple)

1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon of glycerin or honey

2 tablespoons of rice flour

½ teaspoon cranberry seed oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix all ingredients together

Spread in between double layers of gauze and apply these onto the neck, forehead, and cheeks (you should be reclining for this)

Leave on for 10 minutes

Rinse off with lukewarm water

If it irritates, take off immediately with lukewarm water

This should be applied once a week.

SKIN-BRIGHTENING TONER

With  vitamins a, b, and c and many minerals from dandelion, this toner will improve skin vitality and give a youthful appearance and with the addition of rose water it will soothe tired skin

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons of dandelion leaves

30 ml rose water

1 teaspoon glycerin

1 cup of hot water

INSTRUCTIONS

Let the dandelion leaves soak in the hot water and allow them to cool

Add rose water and glycerin

Put in a bottle for storage

Apply to the face and neck once or twice a day with a cotton cloth

NIGHT FACE CREAM

To finish off every day, this face cream provides the skin with vitamin e and fatty acids, from avocado oil.  It is a powerful anti-aging cream owing to the evening primrose.  It contains loads of antioxidants from the pomegranate seed oil which protect the skin from the sun and promote youthful-looking skin.  The grapefruit essential oil will clear the skin of blemishes and marks

INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon avocado oil

1 tablespoon evening primrose oil

1 tablespoon pomegranate seed oil

1 tablespoon almond oil

1 tablespoon sunflower oil

10 drops grapefruit essential oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix all ingredients

Rub on the skin every evening, massaging with upward strokes, being careful around the eyes

Sleep well and let it do its work.  You'll be surprised how effective this cream and a good massage daily are for uplifting your face and improvements can be noticed after 3 weeks

Finally, an exfoliating glove is a great idea.  There are plenty of them to buy online

The above are only examples of looking after your skin, giving it a glow, and keeping it healthy.  We have our own night face cream if you care to see the 6 varieties for all skin types that we offer. 

Another product that we provide is facial oil cleansers.  It is generally a good idea to cleanse the skin at least once a day and it is especially so if one wears make up.  This process can be done before applying the night face cream

Not already mentioned but equally important are these other pointers for helping to make the skin glow:-

• Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables
• Sleep plenty
• Avoid too much alcohol
• Drink plenty of water
• Don't smoke
• Take plenty of exercise and fresh air

All these points are also really important for the general health and condition of your skin and must be acknowledged along with a good skincare regime.  Happy Glowing Skin!!!
