THIS WEEK I’M TRYING... DOUBLE CLEANSING
4 5 1 2 3 5
Some may say I’m getting a little too carried away with the whole concept of spring-cleaning. Though I’m known for taking things to the extreme especially when it comes to my skin, I decided to give this double duty skincare a try. A-list skin specialists are now encouraging not one cleanser, but two — and that’s every morning and evening (four in total in case you haven’t caught on!). That’s a lot of cleansing eating into precious metime. The reason behind this new-age thinking is due to the increased levels of pollution that our skin is exposed to every day. While one cleanse may ‘surface clean’ the second goes one step further ensuring every last trace of make-up is removed and the skin’s surface is even more pure and therefore susceptible to the serums and moisturisers that follow, encouraging the products to work even better. Though I’m not convinced this double cleanse is necessary, unless you have a face full of theatrical makeup, I do like the squeaky clean feel it has on my skin, and the radiance of my clear complexion. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. the design du jour, most probably because it ticks yet another hot trend this season. If a buttoned shirt is too business-like for you, an alternative option is to try a shirt dress — it has all the characters of a shirt but just in a longer line (GAP and Zara have a large selection). And let’s not forget the weight of a shirt; it’s the perfect balance between feeling hot and cold, making this a number one transitional piece for springtime sunshine and April showers too.
