3 Easy Skincare Swaps

-

 


You don't have to ditch your whole routine to start treating your skin better. I know for a lot of people building an entire new routine can be costly, so here are three easy ways to swap your current skincare for a Tropic product!

1. Scrap the make up wipes

Make up/face wipes may be designed to remove make up, but are they even doing that effectively? Hint: probably not. They're also not formulated to actually cleanse the skin, so even after you've removed the make up, your skin still hasn't been properly cleansed. Used daily these wipes can cause more damage to your skin than you'd think, and they have a habit of drying the skin out. Not only that but they pile up at landfill which isn't great for the environment. Considering the UK uses around 11 million of these per year, that very quickly adds up when they don't biodegrade!

The swap?

Smoothing Cleanser | £18

Our Smoothing Cleanser is suitable for all skin types and comes in an unscented version for those with the most sensitive skin. It removes even the toughest waterproof make up and going back in with a second cleanse will help eliminate break outs caused by blocked pores... Something make up wipes can't do!











2. Stop closing your pores with water

Closing your pores after cleansing helps stop excess dirt and bacteria, as well as make up, from getting in and causing spots. I know a lot of people who do this by splashing their face with cold water after cleansing, but why not just use a product that closes your pores whilst also giving you a boost of vitamins? Cold water can make your skin dry, and it also washes off all the goodness left by your cleanser.

The swap?

Vitamin Toner | £14

Our toner is refreshing, soothing, and adds a boost of minerals to your skin... Much more beneficial than cold water! It's also a great way to add a little bit of extra hydration into your routine. 











3. Please stop peeling masks off your skin

For some reason peel off face masks became really popular recently. If used regularly they can cause way more harm to your skin than good! When you peel them off you're literally peeling off parts of your skin and it can cause irritation, redness, and actually result in more break outs. We've been fed this idea that 'pulling out' our blackheads is the best method of removing them, but just use an effective cleanser and skin-safe face mask regularly to prevent these pores from becoming blocked.

The swap?

Clear Skin Blemish Fighting Mask | £20

You can use this mask once or twice a week on the areas of your skin that you find break out most often. It's super effective at calming down existing break outs, and taking it off won't rip off your delicate skin...











See, three easy swaps you can make that will make a big difference to your skin.

Professional Shampoo RUINED my Hair

-

  When I say that a certain professional-quality shampoo ruined my hair, I mean it ruined my hair. It's taken six weeks to get my hair back into good shape with Tropic products, but now it's never looked healthier! I figured that if my hair salon used it, it would be totally fine for me to use at home... Big yikes. I used the shampoo & conditioner for around 3 months before swapping over to the Tropic hair system. Then lockdown happened, I ran out of product, and I went back to using the toxic products. Around August I began to realise that I didn't actually like my hair. The colour would always fade quickly when I got it dyed (which I go to my hairdresser for), it was always tangled, brittle, dry, frizzy, and would become oily very quickly. It got to the point where I was having to wash my hair almost daily because it just wasn't looking clean!  I didn't think that much of it, just putting it down to the fact that my hair must be like this, and I carried on usi...

Review: Perfect Skin Resurfacing Body Lotion

-

  I've been using Perfect skin for about a week now so I had to write up a review for it. It's one of those products that gives amazing results from day one, and if you don't believe me, try it for yourself! Perfect Skin is an exfoliator, or resurfacing body lotion. It's super moisturising whilst still being strong enough to thoroughly exfoliate the top layer of skin, getting rid of all those dead skin cells to let the new, glowing skin shine through! Similar to the Fruit Peel serum, this body lotion uses plant AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) which chemically exfoliates the skin without the need for rubbing or scrubbing. If you're like me and have somewhat sensitive skin, especially after shaving, scrubs can be too harsh and leave your skin blotchy and red - Perfect Skin doesn't do that. Combined with pomegranate enzymes, your dead skin cells won't stand a chance! As Perfect Skin is a body lotion, it uses noni fruit extract which is rich in antioxidants to promot...

Why Tropic?

  For as long as I can remember, my skin has been problematic. It’s hormonal, sensitive, and the slightest feeling of stress has me breaking out. I tried countless products over the years — including the brands that cost an arm and a leg — and nothing was working for my skin. Although other people would tell me that my skin wasn’t that bad, I felt it was! It’s hard to be confident and comfortable when you feel like your skin hates you. I ended up coming across a company called Tropic Skincare through my mum. She’d tried a few products as they were vegan and cruelty free, so I decided to give it a go as well. The first product I used was the Smoothing Cleanser and I instantly fell in love! It melted make up off without stripping my skin, and most importantly, it gave me a thorough clean without breaking me out. From there I tried serums, exfoliators, moisturisers, body care... Within a few weeks I was absolutely hooked! I'd often wondered if the hype surrounding Tropic was just that...
