It’s not true. Don’t listen to them.

What? Well it’s not. Good things don’t come to those who wait. This is especially so where beauty is concerned.

In all things beauty, being proactive is the key to getting even more gorgeous. Everyone’s beauty has to be claimed. No point in hanging around waiting for that first pimple or wrinkle to appear before we start looking after our skin. Get stuck into a great skincare routine that suits and without a doubt includes a sensational sunscreen. Start early or just get started.

So many of us never gave an effective skincare regime a thought prior to our first blemish outbreak of the most catastrophic kind. Be it an onslaught of adolescent acne, hormonal eruptions, pigmentation, flakies, or rogue patches of redness for starters, head troublesome skin off at the pass.

So where and when do you start? By simply cleansing the skin at least once daily, but preferably twice a day (morning and night), moisturise each time you cleanse, exfoliate responsibly (which means weekly by the way), and wear sunscreen every day is a perfect way to start. These skincare basics will certainly hold you in good stead when it comes to claiming beautiful skin. Drinking loads of water works a treat too! I am really fond of throwing a fabulous clay mask into the mix once a week also. Pre teens or “tweens” of both varieties, can really benefit from being educated in and commencing even the very basics of skincare. After all, we are fastidious about things like teaching our young ones about oral hygiene and think nothing of keeping them clean and bathed, from early on, so why drop the ball now?

In Australia, a few months back, Bellaboo™ skincare range was launched. This funky skincare line is aimed at young girls and offers them an effective skincare option that is packed with loads of great botanicals like Sea Buckthorn berry and devoid of all those chemical nasties that only serve to irritate and prolong our deserved beauty. You can check out Bellaboo™ at her website: www.bellaboobabe.com and groove your way onto getting more gorgeous!

www.zitshappen.com.au is a great offering by Clinique. The zitshappen website chronicles the journey of 3 teenage volunteers that are trialling Clinique’s Anti-Blemish Solutions 3-Step System over a four week period as they combat their pimple problems. You can find loads of tips from the experts and beauty editor types (like yours truly) and share in the real life experiences of the girls as they blog their way on the journey to claiming great skin.

So, don’t wait around to get even more gorgeous…go for it now!
