3 Skincare Tips I wish I knew sooner

Thanks to social media ageing is even bigger topic than ever and with that comes skincare and all the ways how to make our skin look it’s best at any age. Tiktok is full of useful videos, educational videos about all different ways including invasive treatments however I wish I knew these three things sooner. And when I say sooner I mean 20 years ago. I know things would be even better now when I am in my 40s.

Double cleansing

I really find huge difference if I double cleanse. And that is something I was not doing consistently since my 20’s. To be honest I was not one of those girls who did not take makeup off after a night out as my skin was so severely affected by acne. I simply could not do that. However double cleansing is so powerful and really makes a huge difference for your skin. One of my favourite cleansers is this one from Dermalogica. And I love to use as the other step La Mer Micelar water. I know sometimes after a long day you want to keep things simple but each time I consistently push myself I find my skin is just better.

Led Therapy

LED therapy is huge these days and I wish it was so common as it is now when I was younger. The changes it can make to your skin whether it is healing and it really treats different issues. And now with so many LED home masks we do not have to go to salons anymore. I use my Currentbody so often and I also have discount code for you EVA15 in case you want to try for yourself. This applies on all Currentbody products.

SPF

I grew up surrounded by people who believe that the most important thing is to come extremely tanned after going abroad on holiday. Young girls at the time not only refused to use any SPF they even used home remedies to look even darker or used oil accelerators. I really wish the fashion back then was more like today. SPF is so important and sadly the damage cannot be reversed. I have seen my skin on the computer after they analyzed it several times and could not believe my eyes. And I have not been really tanning since my 20s. I am that person that comes pale from the holiday. Do not get me wrong I think tan is attractive and I am often admiring other people’s tan but nothing beats beautiful skin when you get older. So I wish I was using factor 50 at least on my face since day 1. I know things would be different now.

Valentine’s Day Outfit Ideas

Valentine’s Day is round the corner and you may still be thinking about what to wear. I have some great ideas and inspiration whether you are more of a luxury or high-street girl. If you want to keep things simple and you like just jeans and top but nice nails that is also fine but nothing wrong with treating yourself to a lovely new dress.

MATCH YOUR DRESS TO THE VENUE

I love the idea of dressing up even at home and having a cute takeaway and movie night in. There are surely lot of girls that may organise Galentines day but if you are going out for dinner with your partner try to find out the dress code. Most restaurants will have that information on the website and sometimes you may have to play Sherlock on social media. Get a feel for a place but I personally love dressing up. Imagine what a lovely evening to dress up to feel good and make sure your partner will not take eyes of you. I love a lot Magda Butrym and Alessandra Rich dresses if you can splurge but there are many on high-street with similar vibe.

And if your budget lets you get yourself some fabulous shoes and perhaps even a bag. And I have great offer for you with COS as you can get 10 % with your first order.

HOW TO PREVENT AGEING SKIN WITHOUT BOTOX

HOW TO PREVENT AGEING SKIN WITHOUT BOTOX

So many people I know have botox including my sister and they swear on it. People look like they just had a month long holiday with zero stress and were getting 10 hours of sleep. They simply look rested. I however am still not convinced that botox is for me or at least not YET. One thing I have to say is that we all age so there is not such a thing that you will look young forever. However, you can look and feel your best with the right care.

So here are some tips you can do to avoid botox or maybe get more time before you say YES.

Complex care

The overall care is so important. Make sure you have the right products for your skin. If you can invest in good quality products that target ageing and also hydration. Strangely I was at a seminar with a well known brand and the doctor asked if you were to only have one skincare step in your routine which one do you think is the most crucial? The answer is hydration. So make sure you always hydrate but also cleanse as that always makes massive difference for me. And also if your budget lets you try some facials as well.

LED Therapy

The red light therapy is at it’s peak now. Most salons will use some form of it and there are many ways how you can use it at home. It does work wonders and I highly recommend investing in a LED mask. I love my Currentbody one and also I can offer discount code EVA15 if you decide that it is something you want to try. You can use it 3-5 times a week for 10 minutes and it tackles so many skin issues.

Microcurrent devices and facials

Microcurrent is like your Pilates for face. They really help to work your muscles in order to make them tighter and really lift your face. I use ZIIP HALO (use discount code EVAZIIP) and it works wonders. You actually see immediate lift however the microcurrents also work well long-term. I wish I had one much sooner but hey I am sure with regular use I will see more and more improvements.

Face Gym

If you have not tried a Face Gym and you can if you are in London I recommend it. It is an incredible facial really working your muscles a bit of like taking your face to gym. However, you can also practice different massages at home. The point of this is to keep working your muscles with your hands in order to keep them tight. It improves circulation and stimulates collagen. So its a win win.

12 COS WORKWEAR ITEMS TO BUY RIGHT NOW

Let’s face it that we spend most of the time in the office and I remember so well the struggle of what to wear. Each day you try to come out with different outfit, look professional but also feel good. I know daily outfits for spring are probably more fun to think about. However, we still need to nail that professional uniform.

HOW TO SHOP FOR WORKWEAR

The best way to build up your work wardrobe is simply create a good capsule wardrobe and perhaps add few items that can spice up the timeless items. Of course so many companies have very strict rules when it comes to dressing however most allow items like shirts, tailored trousers and jackets. Try to keep your colour palette more neutral as that is always safe but if there are no restriction of course you can go crazier.

A good suit can be also pink, red or green but only if you can. Most larger corporates with have their own dress policy and that is a huge part of your decision making.

COS has alway some incredible pieces that are simple yet they offer something extra whether it is a cut or texture.
