5 things that work miracles on your skin

Scoring flawless, youthful-looking skin isn’t an easy feat, particularly if you have some naughty habits.
So, to help you get your glow on and achieve #complexionperfection, try these tips and tricks…
GUZZLE GUZZLE
If drinking plenty of water every day isn’t high on your list of priorities, it needs to be – starting now! Get guzzling, girl. Drinking at least two litres of water daily is essential for hydrating both your insides and complexion. Not keen on plain old H2O? Mix it up by adding a squeeze of lemon or lime to an ice-cold glass of sparkling mineral water, or try adding some berries to a chilled bottle of water for a refreshing twist.
GRAZE ON HEALTHY GOODIES
Remember that pizza you picked up on your way home from the bar the other night? And that fried chicken you had for dinner yesterday? Well, chances are the side-effects of these stodgy foods are now popping up on your complexion in the form of whiteheads, excess oil or dark circles. What you feed your insides shows on the outside, so nourish your bod with nutrient- and antioxidant-rich foods like tomatoes, blueberries, salmon and avocado. Hello, glow!
NAIL A FLAWLESS FINISH
When it comes to perfecting your complexion, we’re all for shortcuts and letting natural beauty shine through – the quicker, the better, we say! So skip the moisturiser and foundation, and opt for the multi-tasking Garnier Miracle Skin Cream. This skin-perfecting cream is formulated to instantly adjust to your skin tone for a smooth, even and luminous complexion. Ideal for all skin tones and types, this product helps to correct the signs of ageing, including wrinkles, dark spots and a lack of firmness, radiance and hydration. The results? A flawless finish and younger-looking skim. Oh, and it contains SPF15 for added protection from the sun’s rays. Team it with the Garnier Miracle Skin Cream Eye to target those fine lines and dark circles.
CLEAN BEFORE YOU DREAM
Do you tend to slip into bed wearing BB cream or – god forbid – a full face of make-up? We’re all guilty of it, but it has to stop! While you snooze, that leftover make-up is slowly making its way deep into your pores, causing blackheads, pimples and even infections. Stock up on a quality make-up remover, and stash some make-up wipes in your vanity for nights when you can’t be bothered washing your mug properly. Your skin will thank you for it!
NIX NASTY HABITS
Can’t resist popping out for a mid-afternoon puff? Or going overboard with the booze every weekend? Smoking and drinking regularly doesn’t only affect your health, but it can also cause your skin to age prematurely. To keep wrinkles, dark circles and uneven skin tone at bay, ditch the ciggies and booze (or at the very least, cut down) – stat!
How do you keep your skin looking flawless? Will you be trying any of these tricks?

I find Wotnot wipes work really well and they have less nasties than others. Swisspers are also good. The wipes save me when I can't get it together to cleanse before crashing. They're always beside the bed and in the morning if I've slept in they're a real timesaver. These brands on the ethical shopper list too!

I can't go to bed with makeup on or I wake up with irritated eyes and simply feel aweful. Not being a fan on wipes makes those nights where you do want to skip it harder. I have been on the search for some great wipes that have some good ingrediants excluding alcohol to pop next to the bed as suggested. Any suggestions on GOOD wipes appreciated! Water is a must and I notice a huge diff if I'm down on my intake. I have caffeine drinks like a cup of tea in the mornings and may have four or five then it's water from midday on. The diff is incredible on both inside and out

No better feeling than taking everything off, cleansing, toning and putting on my rose hip oil and my night cream on. All apart of a good routine for a good nights sleep!

I'm one to go to bed with make-up on sometimes and I noticed that it really does clog me up.

My skin looks the best when I drink a lot of water and when I am on retinoids.....

Whenever I'm too lazy to wash my face before a nap or sleeping at night, I get a pimple without fail (I have one right now). You would think I would learn

Do most of these, i drink so much water it's not funny. And always thoroughly cleanse my skin with a proper routine day and night and my skin has improved.
