Here's How You Can Get Flawless, Bright Skin This Year

One of the resolutions you should be including in your list this year is to give more attention to your skincare. As you start a new chapter in your life, why not also try to peel away the imperfections from your skin?

We know, peeling doesn't really sound inviting. It conjures up images of red, irritated skin. You can have renewed skin by peeling minus the horrors of it going bad, though. The Body Shop's new Drops of Youth Liquid Peel will help make sure that you get rejuvenated skin without the complications. The Liquid Peel is formulated to trap all your dead skin cells and impurities and peel them off gently.

The Liquid Peel also promises to make your skin more refined and luminous after continuous use. It is made with the same ingredients found in other products from the Drops of Youth line, namely Edelweiss, which contains leontopodic acids that work three times better as an antioxidant than vitamin C; Sea Holly, a flavonoid and polyphenol-rich ingredient that firms up skin; and Criste Marine, which is great for combating skin stressors. 

Once you've peeled away your skin's impurities, face the new year with even clearer and brighter skin with the help of these!

In our early 20s, our skin may not yet show visible signs of aging – and thinking about tightening our skin is probably not at the top of our list of skincare needs. But take note: our daily activities such as putting on makeup and commuting from work or school can age our skin faster than we think, causing our skin to lose its firmness which may lead to wrinkles and fine lines.

So what should you do? We say: up your skin routine a notch! Sure a good anti-aging skincare routine is always a necessity; but did you know that there are other anti-aging methods to help those skincare products work to its full effect?

Be your #BestBeautiful! Keep your skin looking radiant and youthful with these tips that will complement your current skincare regimen. We may think that we’re safe from pimples long after puberty, but because of the changing weather and other damaging factors such as pollution and stress, a spot may come out once in a while. And we have to admit that one of our guilty pleasures is picking on that spot even if we know it’s not good for our skin.

Picking on a spot can irritate the layer underneath your skin. Even if the redness has already subsided, the damage caused to the skin cells takes longer to recover, causing your skin to look dull and discoloured.

Maybelline has made a major move! The cosmetics brand just introduced its first-ever male ambassador: Manny Gutierrez, who is also known in the YouTube world as MannyMua.

Gutierrez, who has won over the hearts of over five million people on social media, has been tapped to be the face of the Colossal Big Shot Mascara. He is joined in the campaign by fellow YouTuber Shayla Mitchell, a.k.a MakeupShayla.

Maybelline's decision is bold and refreshing — a move that's apt for a product that promises to be a companion for people who are always on top of their games. 

“The duo's boss-like personalities, in which they unapologetically slay both their makeup looks and their professional lives on a daily basis, made them a perfect fit for the role," said Maybelline's senior vice president of marketing, Anne Marie Nelson-Bogle, about tapping the YouTube sensations as ambassadors. "They represented the 'boss' beauty attitude in this mascara campaign that no one else could, truly inspiring their audiences daily to be their own bosses which brings the inspiration and message of this mascara to life.”

Check out the campaign below.

Maybelline's announcement comes a few months after Cover Girl named its first-ever male spokesperson, James Charles.
