It’s Sukin’s 15th birthday! To celebrate our 15 years, we’re sharing the top beauty and skincare tips we’ve learned along the way.
Sukin’s skincare and beauty tips
1. Be KIND!
Yes, to others, but most importantly to yourself. As Dr Seuss said, “There is no one alive who is you-er than you.” Trust that you are enough exactly as you are!
2. Love your skin
There is no such thing as normal skin, so stop worrying about yours! All skin is normal and beautiful, regardless of blemishes or patches.
3. Don’t believe everything you see
Following on from tip #2, it’s important to remember not to take everything you see for face value. Unfortunately, a lot of celebrities with ‘perfect skin’ have assistance from photoshop with filters added on their pictures and blemishes blurred out.
Stop comparing your skin to theirs and focus on your own skincare journey!
4. Match your makeup
One of our top beauty tips is to find a foundation that matches your skin. We’ve all used a foundation that’s too dark for our skin in our time, but it’s better to find one that matches your tone sooner rather than later.
Rather than testing foundation on the back of your hand, try swatching it on your chest. It’s usually a very close match to the colour of your face!
5. Re-apply your sunscreen
If you take only one skincare tip from the list, it’s this. Re apply your sunscreen! One application in the morning isn’t enough, you need to apply throughout the day to keep your skin protected from harmful UV rays! Also, remember to always wear a hat and stay out of the sun during peak UV hours.
