Back to beauty basics… do you have a skincare regime?

Ok, be honest… do you look after your skin? This does not mean a quick splash of water and rubbing your face with baby wipes…

Skin care is the absolute basic requirement that will ALWAYS pay off. Whether you start at 10, 30, 50 or 70… the kinder you treat your skin the better it will look, feel and as I always say, makeup will always apply better on a well-looked after canvas.

I have a fabulous recommendation for a skincare brand…

I was recently introduced to a local skincare brand called Pamoja, and they are receiving lots of exciting recognition and accolades in the beauty industry right now. Having tried some of the products recently, I am not surprised because they smell delicious, feel gentle and nourishing on the skin and I am always a fan of supporting small businesses. Oh, and just because its a small business that you may not have heard of, don’t ever discredit brands like this. I test so many skincare products in my Beauty Editor job… and these products are nicer than some of the expensive brands I have tried from the shelves of Harrods etc.
