My last To Do List was a personal mission, but today's is going off in rather a different direction... Anyone that's stuck with me for a while (you poor things) will probably be aware that I adore skincare. It's what comes with having spent a year in France, mes amies. Having started reading Sali Hughes' wonderful Pretty Honest - I may well pen you a review of my thoughts upon finishing - I've been inspired to become far more hands-on and informed about what I slap on each morning and slather on each night.
Here's what I intend to work on:
- Become obsessed with ingredients lists. I've started work on a little personal project that I may well share with you sometime down the road, all in an effort to become ingredient-savvy. Long story short, a buttload of research is going down.
- Write a review when I dislike a product. Not simply on my own blog, but also on the company's own site. I rely on them myself and have not been nearly generous enough in giving back; plus no brand can ever improve without honest feedback!
- Write a review when I do like a product. Good work deserves recognition after all!
- Use cotton buds when applying spot treatments - currently I am slathering the areas surrounding blemishes with the same powerful potion that is meant to zap the spot, resulting in some very sore bits indeed. I've a hunch that applying with a smaller tool will localise the hit and hopefully reduce damage to a spot's healthy surroundings.
- Read. Read. Read. Until this month I'd never spotted the Paula's Choice Ingredient Dictionary, which has been unbelievably helpful as a reading start point... Plus Pretty Honest has inspired me to delve deeper into beauty book reading. Now I've been treated to a Kindle, I have no excuse!
Hopefully this post will inspire you to get more involved with your own skincare... What would you put on your to do list?
