Stressing Less & Looking After Your Skin


As someone who lives in the city and has a relatively hectic lifestyle, it's important to find ways to manage my stress levels and look after myself. I was asked to trial the Body Shop's Drops of Youth range for 28 days and share my top wellbeing tips, along with my thoughts on the products.

It issoworth making even just 20 minutes before bed for reading. It helps me to forget anything that's been on my mind during the day and escape into the story I'm reading. Not only that but it helps you to unwind; the brightness of screens keeps your eyes alert and can stop you getting a good night's sleep so it's not a good idea to still be on your phone and laptop in the last 30-60 minutes before bed.

Drink More Water

保持水分对我来说真的很重要。我试图将咖啡,果汁和软饮料限制在每杯酒中只有两杯,我一天都会煮沸。每当有人在工作中问我是否要喝酒时,我都要确保说是并得到水。它使我的皮肤感觉更加健康,只是让我自己感觉更好。我的头痛远低于我喝了很多果汁和碳酸饮料时的头痛,我不会经常感到恶心,我只是觉得我一般来说的精力更多。

Get Organised

One way to manage stress is to manage the things that are stressing you out. I have a notebook next to my bed and if there's anything keeping me up at night, I jot it down so I don't forget what I have to do but I can also empty my mind of it in thatmoment并获得宁静的睡眠。当你打破things down they seem less scary! For my qualifications, for example, I put all my deadlines into my iCalendar and worked back where I wanted to be week on week and when I need to have started certain assignments. Even little things like making sure you've booked any旅行you'll be doing with work for the coming month can lift a weight off your shoulders. I find the more I plan, the more reassured I feel that what I'm trying toachieveispossible, as it breaks it down into achievable steps.

给我一些时间

无论您有多少,都必须抽出一些时间为自己。对我来说,这些通常是周日晚上为我准备未来一周的准备,但要找到适合您生活方式的东西。狗万体育a无论是烘烤,去健身房,去散步,绘画,冥想,洗澡还是其他任何东西;找到可以带您到一个快乐,放松的地方,并确保您在一周内建立一段时间。

青年范围的车身店

无论您多大年龄都没关系,开始保护皮肤免受生活压力和生活菌株的影响永远不会太早。这个范围可以保湿而没有富裕,并帮助我的皮肤(目前如此干燥)感觉更加新鲜和健康。

青年集中液* |£25

I've been using this as a serum before applying moisturiser and it has a lovely, light gel formula that's so fast-absorbing. The only thing I don't like is the fact that the dropper dispenser isn't quite right for this slightly thicker formula. However this is instantly hydrating, relieving the tightness and discomfort of dry skin. My skin looks so fresh and has a subtle glow when I use this.

Drops of Youth Eye Concentrate* |£19

我的眼睛区域会变得有点油腻,但是如果我不使用眼睛周围的东西,它们会变得严重浮肿!这对我来说是一个完美的解决方案,因为它具有凝胶配方(与浓重和沉重的东西相对),并通过一个不错的冷却金属球涂抹器出来。我的眼睛下面有超重的色素沉着,所以没有什么能摆脱黑暗,但是这使浮肿平静下来,让我的眼睛感到精神焕发和清醒。

Drops of Youth Youth Cream* |£20

My dry winter skin has been in need of something more intensive than the Body Shop Vitamin C Gel Moisturiser (which I love for the summer). Having said that, this still doesn't feel too heavy and doesn't leave any excess greasiness on the surface of my skin. It's also very gentle. I had an awful allergic reaction at the end of last month that was traced back to detergent (even though I hadn't used anything different!) and my skin was so dry, peeling, red and sensitive even when the rash itself had cleared up. This didn't aggravate my skin or make it flare up, which made it an essential for me this past month. It makes my tired-looking skin appear so much more healthy.

Drops of Youth Wonderblur* |£17

I was intrigued to try this as I really liked Instablur a little while back. I must admit I've been converted away from silicone-based primers lately but I still gave this a good go. The texture is very smooth and silky. It's reasonably hydrating, however I still prefer to use a creamy primer and just apply this over my pores and fine lines (like I would with something like the Porefessional). It's not my favourite but it's worth a go if you like the other products from the range and you're looking for a new primer.

Drops of Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask* |£24

I've saved the best for last as this gel-cream face mask is my favourite of the bunch! I apply this right after toning before bed and don't use any other products. It's pricey but I've realised you only need the tiniest amount so I can see this lasting me ages. By the time I wake up in the morning my skin is so much more hydrated and plumped-up. I have a few dehydration lines and whilst they're not the end of the world, I'd rather they weren't there! I know a product is seriously hydrating my skin when it makes them virtually invisible and this does.

  4. This looks like a solid range, and that mask sounds amazing! Btw, I normally Wet my hands a little then apply the serum to my face, that way it goes on more easily even with a thicker texture.

  5. The Sleeping mask sounds like something I'd like to get as my skincare lacks in hydrating masks. I keep meaning to try more from TBS and for some reason never do.

  10. Water makes such a difference! I'm usually quite good when it comes to drink much of it, yet I really need to learn how to stay away from the screens just before I go to bed, I know it's bad for my sleep but I do it anyway, not sure why...

  12. 我一直想尝试弹性面具已经很久了。我发现一个不错的泡泡浴,带有某种薰衣草产品,例如Tisserand的Sweet Dreams浴油确实可以帮助我放松,并在睡觉前一杯茶(Decaf)和一本好书。

  15. I've never tried the Body Shop Drops of Youth Skincare Range but reading your honest reviews about them does make me want to try a few myself! The Bouncy Sleepy Mask does sound really lovely. I've been using my Body Shop Vitamin E Night Cream for the longest time, and while it works great for my skin, I would love to change it up ever so often. I'm definitely going to check the Sleeping Mask out now! :) xx

  20. I have noticed that lots of people drink fizzy drinks and coffee and for me I only ever drink water every day wherever I go which is a good thing but when I go out to restaurants the people I'm with always call me odd and weird for ordering water..

  24. Brilliant tips! My skin's been awful this winter, I don't think the ever-changing weather (-2 one day, 14 degrees the next) has helped. I thought it might have been some new cosmetics I tried, but came across a funny internet meme:

    "- 6 hours of sleep in three days
    - Never drink water
    - Always stressed

    And I wonder why I have bad skin!"

    That struck a chord with me. I think stress/lack of sleep and a poor diet will DEFO exacerbate skin conditions, so it's important to look after yourself, using some of the methods you've described :)
