Lively skin on a budget

oy skin looks very dull. What can I do to make my skin look more lively without using expensive products?

There’s no need to spend a fortune on beauty products. There are some great affordable supermarket brands like Garnier, olay and Nivea. Skinfood is also a favourite of mine as it’s NZ-made, natural and unisex so all the family can use the products.

If your skin is looking dull then try to make sure you exfoliate and follow up with a hydrating mask twice a week. Also eat a skin-friendly diet with lots of oily fish like salmon and antioxidant-rich berries (you can buy them frozen and whip them into a smoothie with yoghurt, milk, honey and a little flaxseed oil).

Drink plenty of water. Avoid things like cigarettes or too much coffee and wine. And get plenty of sleep and outdoor exercise when possible.
