HOW MUCH FACE OIL IS TOO MUCH? • Making sure we get the most out of our products without being wasteful feels so important at the moment. I like to be conservative and use enough to create a peachy, soft, smooth texture to my skin, plus I don’t like to have to wash my hair every morning 😊. My small bottle of face oil usually lasts around 4 months with daily use, and at weekends I spend more time on my skin, and only then will I use more than a few drops of face oil. Ultimately, your skin will let you know how much it needs to feel healthy and smooth 💕. . . . . . . . . . . #facemassage #veganskincareproduct #dewyskin​ #skincaretips #skintruths​ #realskin #nofilter​ #40plusskin #proageing #40plusbeauty #naturalbeauty #femalefounder #indianskin​​ #melanin #myskinisme #ageinggracefully #loveyourlines #loveyourpores​ #bareskin​​ #sofialatifoils #faceoils​​ ​#365inskincare​ #skincarecommunity #mindbodyconnection #mindfulness #minimeditation​ (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-NL_2AJZk8/?igshid=dwt5w1szhz5h

So interesting to re-watch ‘the truth about looking good’ on @BBC 1 🌿 It was refreshing to hear them confirm that using a cosmetic moisturiser • ‘has no long term anti-ageing effect on the skin’ and there was ‘No change in health or appearance of the skin over a 3 week study and any benefit to hydration was temporary’ They asked- ‘Is there any over the counter products that work? and the dermatologist said; •’Retinol products do work. There is some evidence for other over the counter ingredients such as peptides but the strongest body of proof is for retinol’ (aka Vitamin A) But ‘Since they can still cause irritation, you do need to approach with some caution’ . However there are different forms of vitamin A which won’t cause this. Pictured here is @environskincare Skin Essentia Vitamin A ’step-up’ moisturisers. You start low, and progress up through the levels to avoid any irritation but still getting amazing results! This is my hero product and one I would never be without! 🌿 If you want to read more about ‘Retinol’ please check out the blog post on the website www.environskincare.com or If you require a consultation in Lahore Pakistan visit our branches.

The truth of this Skin

The truth of this Skin

This Skin is transparent, like a stitch to spew, to flatter the moments of despair. The bruises occur, with an open mouth an empty sheet of braided dreams this skin claps and claps with a bowl of spewing lotus, and a hollow dripping hocus-pocus Peppermint& honey drops with earbuds sagging, this skin melts, in the oceanic mouth of yours. Or this skin divides in my repetitive sins and sins. I gasp…

Your skin works hard. Especially at night – in fact that’s when it works hardest, repairing and restoring the barrier and our collagen levels as we rest, so we can enjoy our best skin during the day. Most of us know that SPF is essential to protect our skin during the day, but how do you look after it at night? Read my latest bog post all about the difference and benefits of face oils and creams for your night-time skin care routine, including why you should prep your skin for sleep at least a few hours before you turn out the lights.

Slow beauty. You can't rush using an oil on face, body, or scalp. It just won't let you. This is a good thing, you are being forced to slow down, to be more present, to take more notice of your skin. The more time you spend working oils into skin, the closer you get to it, and the better you connect with it. You stand to develop a better relationship with your skin. This is where kindness springs from, the kindness which helps you look at yourself without criticism or judgement, and feel more confident in yourself. Do you find yourself softening as you slow down? #beautyhasnoage #ageinggracefully #proageing #positiveageing #rawbeauty #40plusskincare #skincaregeek #ethicalskincare #beautifullyconfident #realbeauty #unretouchedbeauty #loveyourself #beautifullyreal #beautyover40 #veganskincareproducts #skintruths​ #realskin​​ ​#myskinisme​​ #loveyourlines​ #loveyourpores ​​​#sofialatifoils​ ​ #freshskin​ #greenbeauty #slowliving #slowbeauty (at Brockley) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRmLwteLs9z/?utm_medium=tumblr

Time for a little check in to say hi 👋🏽 and remind you that your skin is beautiful just as it is, because real skin is real 👌🏽. Sitting with a mirror, examining skin up close, muttering that it is looking a mess and I must do this and must do that, is a complete waste of time, because what you see is not what everyone else sees. I caught myself doing this again today, feeling sorry for myself and filling my head with negative self-talk. I had to remind myself to take a step back to look at the whole picture - pores, lines, dark circles, grey hairs, and bushy brows - they all faded into the whole. So my message to you is to take a step back, look at the whole, and embrace it all because real skin is real, and that is OK 💕. . . . . . . #skintruths #realskin #nofilterskin #40plusskin #proageing #positivevibes #ageinggracefully #selfcareskincare #loveyourlines #simpleliving #loveyourpores #bareskin #sofialatifoils #slowlifestyle #40plusskincare #filterdrop #femalefounder #darkcircles #realskinisin #myskinisme (at London, Unιted Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLHuJMJLv8F/?igshid=1pjp8kzwsbbck

DEWY FOUNDATION TRICK • Foundation can dry out my skin in the winter, no matter how hydrating it is. My trick for achieving dewy skin is to add a drop of my face oil to my foundation, blend it well, and apply to skin, leaving it to set for a few minutes before applying my make up. I won’t use powder when doing this as it isn’t needed. I also use this trick when coming to the end of bottles or tubes of foundation, to make them last a little longer. Have you tried adding face oil to your foundation? . . . . . . . . #veganskincareproducts#dewyfoundation #dewyskin #glowingmakeup #skincaretips​ #skintruths #realskin​ #nofilter #40plusskin​ #proageing #40plusbeauty #naturalbeauty #femalefounder #indianskin​ #melanin #realskinisin #myskinisme #ageinggracefully #loveyourlines #loveyourpores​ #bareskin​ #sofialatifoils #faceoils​ ​#365inskincare​ https://www.instagram.com/p/B9pHwbapLM1/?igshid=z4faia571xut

MY WINTER SKIN HACK • Winter can play havoc with my skin. My tip for banishing dry skin is to add a drop of face oil into moisturiser for a hydrating, moisturising, and glowy boost. Blend well, massage into skin for a minute, leave for a few minutes before applying foundation. It really is that simple. Give it a try and let me know how you get on 👇🏽. . . . . . . . #skintip #faceoils #realskin #nofilterskin #simpleskincare #40plusskin #skintruths #indianskin #proageing #365inskincare #livetinted #myskinisme #sofialatifoils #femalefounder #beautyover40 #ageinggracefully #loveyourpores #loveyourlines #winterskincare #dryskincare #veganskincare #naturalbeautycare #naturalskincaretips https://www.instagram.com/p/B8zECKslZqE/?igshid=255mjgkztmo4

ME AND MY EYE OIL - it's a love affair. Going grey doesn't phase me, but my eyes looking older does, occasionally. They have changed since my 20s and 30s, and when I catch myself looking with critical eyes 🙄, I have to remind myself to be kind and that I am seeing someone who has lived and experienced life. Becoming comfortable with the changes to skin that come with age is one of the reasons I formulated an eye oil - so that the skin there remains as supple as possible for all the crinkling and creasing it needs to do on a daily basis, and then bounce back as best it can. Letting skin age gracefully is the most love I can show my skin and my eyes. Being kinder to yourself when looking in the mirror is the biggest anti-ageing secret 💕 . . . . . #skintruths #realskin #nofilter #40plusskin #proageing #positivevibes #40plusbeauty #naturalbeauty #femalefounder #darkcircles #indianskin #livetinted #melanin #realskinisin #myskinisme #ageinggracefully #loveyourlines #loveyourpores #bareskin #sofialatifoils #eyeoil #undereye #365inskincare #eyemassage #veganeyecare https://www.instagram.com/p/B8hBYtSF788/?igshid=1w4k4plg5s40g
