How to: Clear, Beautiful Skin
More hot girl summer tips!
I asked my readers, what they wanted me to write about. My lovely cousin Kerlene reached out and asked:
"How to get clear skin in addition to healthy eating."
In response, I contacted my friend London in LA, to guest blog on this topic!
She is very knowledgeable in skin care and she always has the best advice.
I encourage you to follow her on her social links below!
My name is London, I'm 29, and live in Los Angeles with my husband. I was born in France and I am of African and Arabic descent.
My goal is to uplift, love and support all my sisters from all around the world. I love all things skincare first, perfumes second, makeup third.
Really though, all things girly ha!

In addition to drinking a lot of water and eating fruits with high water content,(watermelon,canteloupe,cucumbers) it is very important to develop a skincare routine.
Ideally you'll have a morning and night skincare routine.
Give yourself a facial once a week and get it professionally done once a month as well.
For your daily routine you will need:
- oil cleanser
- water based cleanser
- toner
- under eye moisturizer
- face moisturizer
- lip moisturizer
For your weekly facial you will need:
- oil cleanser
- water based cleanser
- face scrub
- lip scrub
- face mask
- lip mask
- under eye mask
- toner
- under eye moisturizer
- face moisturizer
- lip moisturizer
Most people say that the order in which you apply your products don't matter but I apply mine as I typed them. Avoid touching your face with your bare hands, as we have lots of bacteria under our nails. I recommend getting silicone brushes for your masks, and thoroughly wash your hands before starting your routine.
My three must have products are:
-
Glossier balm dot com: Awesome for super dry lips and a multi-functional product as well for dry cuticles.
-
Spongelle fresia wild flower: an amazing built in buffer with luxury shower gel you can use it up to 14 times!
-
Beauty Bakerie sugar lip scrub: SO SO GOOD and they have different flavors too!
I hope it helps. Glow girl!
