I love what retinoids do to my pores (they smooth them dramatically), how they curtail my milia (tiny white lumps around my eyes) and how they all but magic away my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-what-is-hyperpigmentation\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1495\">pigmentation<\/a>\u2026.But what I don\u2019t love so much is actually using them.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>On easing into retinoids:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIt is perfectly fine to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-mixing-active-ingredients-with-tretinoin\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2528\">combine long-term retinoid<\/a> use with other active skincare like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/skincare-and-acids-guide-ahas-bhas-and-your-routine\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2510\">acid exfoliants<\/a>, and antioxidants like vitamin C. I use all three most days (the former before bed, the rest in the morning). But in the beginning, while your skin is becoming accustomed to any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/myth-buster-the-difference-between-retinol-and-retinoids\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1954\">retinoid<\/a>, give it space by temporarily pausing the others.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>On retinoids and consistency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cRetinoids <strong>must <\/strong>be used regularly to be effective. After any stage-gating [increasing concentration of active ingredients] nightly application is optimal and important if you\u2019d like to see consistent improvements. Give it a good six months, perhaps even nine, before taking a view on whether you\u2019d like to continue.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>On retinoids and sunscreen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cYou simply must wear <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/skincare-and-the-sun-guide-freckles-sun-spots-spf-and-makeup-know-how\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2473\">SPF<\/a> by day when using retinoids by night. It does not matter if you didn\u2019t apply it last night, or if it doesn\u2019t seem sunny. When you sign up to any retinoid, you sign up to daily <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/our-dermatologist-approved-spfs-for-everyday-wear\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"455\">sunscreen<\/a> of at least factor 30\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Self esteem and good mental health<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/meet-the-team\">Dermatologist\u2019s<\/a> at Skin + Me has spoken previously about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/the-link-between-mental-health-and-our-skin\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1517\">brain-skin connection<\/a>, the value of managing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/does-stress-affect-my-skin\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1092\">stress<\/a> and working to maintain good mental health as part of our holistic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-nutritionist-on-food-supplements-wellness-and-skincare\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3473\">wellbeing<\/a>.

But here\u2019s the good news, there\u2019s lots of little things we can do everyday to tip the positive wellbeing balance in our favour.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-compassion when we look in the mirror, reframing how others see us and something as simple as a long bath can keep things in perspective. Here\u2019s Sali\u2019s take on tiny acts for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/3-ways-to-link-skin-and-mental-health-from-acne-to-rosacea-and-skin-ageing\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3078\">mental health<\/a> that can work for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>On how to look in the mirror<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWomen are lousy at looking in the mirror. They are too critical, too blind to see the beauty. Quicker to spot perceived flaws than virtues. While it\u2019s no wonder we often see ourselves described negatively, I wish we were encouraged to see ourselves as the vast majority of people do.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>When someone glances in your direction, the best they will think, oh so fleetingly, is \u2018she looks nice\u2019, then be on their way. At worst they will think nothing. Absolutely nothing. And that, in its own way, is wonderful.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>On keeping clean<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cSimply exchanging a couple of morning showers per week for long evening baths can prove extremely mood-enhancing. It\u2019s part of my ongoing effort to turn the functional into the pleasurable, to reclaim my life from the schedule of responsibilities, to slow the hell down. Keeping clean has become the highlight of my day.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>On accepting what you can and can\u2019t control:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cAll any of us can do is live as much as possible offline, clean up our own side of the street, examine our own behaviours and look out for others where we\u2019re able. This has been the hardest lesson to learn. But it\u2019s a shift in attitude I\u2019ve had to embrace for the sake of preserving sanity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> This feature was compiled using Sali Hughes book<strong>, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.waterstones.com\/book\/everything-is-washable-and-other-life-lessons\/sali-hughes\/9780008284176\">Everything Is Washable &amp; Other Life Lessons<\/a> <\/em><\/strong> &#8212; available wherever you buy your books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to check out Sali&#8217;s podcast <strong>Beyond The Bathroom<\/strong>, conversations with guests including Sabrina Elba, Diane Morgan and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, about all things beauty.
