A Love Letter To My Skin

love letter to skincare skin beauty Australia Note self skincare tips skin advice

I can change, I promise

Our Letter, Our promise.

"Dear Skin, I know I haven't always been the best lover. In fact, I've been down right neglectful. When I was in the prime of my youth (c. twenties), I should have treated you better. All those late nights partying and burying you under primer, foundation, concealer, bronzer etc... In hindsight, there was a lot I would have done differently.

 

The 5 things I would have done differently:

1. Never go to bed with makeup on and take the time to remove it (double cleanse and if in doubt, cleanse again). Also, put moisturiser on afterwards.

2. Not be so rough with you! I regret all the times I tugged and pulled away at my eyelids like a sadistic little kid. I should have been more gentle.

3. Not popping pimples and constantly touching my face (sighwe are only human).

4. Use sunscreen! The risk of UV damage is far too great and I took this step for granted. 

5. Stay hydrated throughout the day. Drink plenty of fluids and use a good mist spray to retain the moisture in my skin.

I am sorry dear skin! I didn't know how to care for you properly. Now that I am older (and wiser), I can finally give you the love you deserve. I understand that finding the right product to match your skin type is a bit of a trial-and-error process. I promise to do my due diligence and read the ingredients on each packaging and invest in myself. And if I ever fail, I promise not to be too hard on myself. I promise to be patient and put you first because self care is not selfish!

 

Sincerely,

A devote member of the Kanvas Kult - love your kanvas!

An honest Axiology Foundation Review.

We saw the promo for Axiology's new mushroom-infused foundation. It's called Fungdation and it looked so good! Kellie couldn't wait to try it. Here's what she thought, as well as pics on how it looks on the skin. TLDR; it isn't for everyone, but which foundation is? If your skin type and texture preference matches the Fungdation profile, you'll never look back.

Got Strawberry Skin on your arms and legs?

Harmless but annoying, 'strawberry skin' usually arises after shaving or some form of hair removal that exposes the hair follicle or a clogged pore to oxidization (thereby turning it dark). It could also be an excess buildup of skin or keratin around the hair follicle (i.e. keratosis pilaris).Honing in on what triggers it for you is the key to preventing it in the future - along with the right skincare routine.
