I posted here about a month ago about my withering beauty (hem hem) .... My big issue was skin and generally looking fat, wrinkly and a bit fucked. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/1855920-I-need-to-get-off-my-ass-and-drop-10-years-from-my-face
Gots lots of advice (thanks!) then went on amazon.
Dh keeps saying I "suddenly" look ten years younger, says I look glowing and that my eyes are clearer. He has no idea I've been Making An Effort (fags aside) so I'm over the moon (especially as that's what I said I needed to do...lose ten years). I can see I look a lot younger too and it's amazing as I'm getting v bad sleep right now (teething babies) and feel exhausted.
So I just wanted to share what I've been doing in case anybody else is on the cusp of panic about their looks....especially if you're skint like me! I had no idea you could change so much in a month....and I only spent about fifty quid!!!!
- Stopped smoking (about two months ago)
- Stopped drinking almost entirely..had 2 small glasses wine this month (used to have that a night)
- Stopped caffeine, replaced with carbonated water and mint tea...both are particularly good for skin.
- Started taking biotin for skin and hair
- Loreal renew serum on eyelashes (couldn't afford rapid lash) keeps them from dropping out, so they get longer some short bits which have always irritated me have filled in and I can't tell which eye, so it must work...I always look as though wearing mascara.
- Dermaflannel technique using microfibre cloths from amazon.
- Lemon and aspirin scrub for blackheads twice week....works brilliantly.
- Bought peptabright for reddened chin.
- Did pearl drops for one month, which lightened my teeth considerably....well 3-4 shades I think?
10. then bought hydrogen peroxide 3% been using it as mouthwash every few days, it's made my teeth really shiny. (Stopped that now)
11. Scale n polish at dentist
12. Got eyebrows threaded.
13. Moisturise coupon morning and night with shea butter.
14. Daily pregnacare
I been trying to sort out my nails too...but they are still grey ... Tried whitening them with denture tablets but no change :) any tips welcome!
Still planning on facial exercises, have done them a few times but keep forgetting.
