Beauty & the ink by VB

I hear this too often 👇🏽
So many people are not washing their face properly.. some think water is enough, some are scared to use them since the last one (* incorrect ingredients for them) dried them out!....
But it is genuinely the easiest step to get right....
Go back to basic 🙌
No harsh ingredients, no stripping! Just gentle comforting cleanser, after makeup removal, washed off with water 💦
I have added a few of my faves on the end slide ♡

Take the time to educate yourself about the Retinol family & you will always be one step ahead 😉

✨ Happy 1st birthday ✨
I honestly can’t believe it’s been a whole year 🥹
I have felt every wave of emotion during those 12months, iv learnt alot, and quite frankly been exhausted at times, but nothing beats the feeling I get week in week out. I love what I built, and I love what I do so much! ❤️
Thank you to every single client, the ones who followed me & the ones who have only just found me! Your support means more to me than you’ll ever know 🤍

Gloves on vs Gloves off 💫

You all know my life inside the salon… but outside can look a little different.
I love catching up with my friends (never often enough ♡)
I love my crazy family and being an auntie ♡
I love starting the day with a workout or a run ♡
And there’s nothing better than switching off with skincare done and a good book 📖

Winter can be tough on skin because cold air + indoor heating = dryness and irritation & BARRIER DAMAGE!
•
Here’s a simple, effective winter skincare guide you can tailor to any routine:

- Cleanse gently & thoroughly
Use a hydrating cleanser (cream or milky formulas).
Avoid harsh foaming cleansers that can strip the skin!
Use lukewarm water & dispoasble soft cloths

- Moisturise smarter
Use a moisturiser with ceramides, glycerin, or hyaluronic acid (leave the water based ones for summer!)
Apply moisturizer on damp skin to lock in hydration 🔑
At night, consider a heavier cream or sleeping mask.

- rotect Your Skin Barrier at all costs!
Look for ingredients like ceramides, squalane, shea butter, panthenol, if your skin feels tight or stings, pause strong actives (retinoids, exfoliating acids) temporarily until skin is stronger

- Don’t Skip Sunscreen
UV rays are still present in winter (especially with snow glare).
Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30-50 every morning.
Protection is better than cure!

- Extra Care for Lips, Hands & Eyes
Lip balms that condition not just protect! If you use vaseline, apply a conditioner first, then vaseline! As without, you are just blocking in the dryness!
Hand cream after every wash; keep one in your bag.

- Humidity Helps
Use a humidifier in your room at night to prevent moisture loss.
Aim for indoor humidity around 40–50%.

- hydration Starts Inside
Drink enough water (even if you don’t feel thirsty) add electrolytes!
Healthy fats to eat: avocado, nuts, olive oil, omega-3s.
