Feeling in need of a little skincare S.O.S? Start 2012 as you mean to go on + give your skin a new lease of life by giving your skincare routine a total detox!
We can all get stuck in a rut when it comes to our skin, using the same products day in day out without really taking notice of what our complexion needs so we’ve got some top tips for making sure your skin stays fabulous all year round!
1. Simplify your routine. Too many lotions & potions are unnecessary and can be time consuming. Instead, stick with a simple day & night moisturiser, like Night Fix + Moisture Fix to form the basis of your skincare regime.
2. Only use what your skin needs when it needs it. For example, a targeted spot treatment such as Spot Fix should only be used when you have a blemish, Frown Fix can be used at regular intervals to reduce the appearance of fine lines + a scrub can be used once a week to remove dead skin + brighten.
3. Add extras depending on your skin type. For example, if you have dull, pigmented skin, Pigmentation Fix is ideal for adding radiance while dry skin can be by using an oil-based cleanser such as Clean Fix.
Above all, listen to your skin + making these small adjustments will really help give your complexion a boost!

We are loving the X-Factor this year! From Gary’s Mr Nasty approach to Tulisa + Kelly’s in-fighting, it has certainly been a dramatic series with the judges often overshadowing the contestants. There is, however, one act that we think stands out from the crowd and that’s Little Mix. From their quirky fashion to incredible voices + girl-next-door attitude, there is something utterly likeable about this group. We're not the only ones who think so as these girls are the first girlband to get this far in the competition!
