While exercising may be great you’re your body, sometimes, if you don’t prepare properly, it can have a not so good effect on your skin.

If you’ve noticed you’ve been breaking our more than usual since you’ve started exercising, there are things you can do to stop things from happening. And don’t worry, they’re really easy!

Before a workout…
While the temptation to wear a little tinted moisturiser to the gym may be strong, it’s best to go completely bare faced. We mean no make-up, no moisturiser, no nothin’! When you exercise , you start to sweat and your pores open up, so the last thing you want is for your makeup to get mixed up in that mess. It will only cause breakouts, so even though you may feel self-conscious going in with make-up, it’s worth it in the long run!

During a workout…
You know the way they tell you to wipe the machines once you’re finished using them? Well, there’s a reason for that. Cross-contamination is not very nice, and if you get someone else’s sweat on your hand, and then scratch your nose or something, it can cause break outs. Aswell as your own towel to wipe your face during a workout, bring a pack of anti-bacterial wipes to wipe the machines before and after you use them. Using the towel you use to wipe your face with will only aid the cross-contamination. Also, try not to touch your face at all if you can help it.

After a workout…
Even though you may just want to collapse in a heap on the floor, it’s best to change out of those sweaty clothes ASAP. You don’t want the sweat and dirt from your clothes clogging you skin and causing bacne. As for your face, the sooner you get rid of all that excess oil and sweat from your skin, the better. Hop into the shower and splash some cold water on your face to close the pores back up. And don’t forget to drink plenty of water to keep hydrated!

Woah – what did Antonio do to annoy Melanie so much?!

When Melanie Griffith and husband Antonio Banderas famously announced their separation a few months ago, many wondered – what is she going to do about THAT tattoo?!

More recently, the actress has been seen out and about with the tattoo covered, prompting rumours she is getting it removed or altered.

However, she has finally spoken out about her plans for the tattoo, saying she is going to get “F*** You” as a replacement…classy!

Although, we’re sure Melanie was just joking.

Or maybe that was just her telling the photographers to leave her alone!

It’s baaaack!

RTÉ have released a teaser for the fifth season of Love/Hate and it is looking uh-mazing!

We can’t wait to catch up with Fran, Nidge and the lads to check out what they’ve been up to for the summer.

Sunning themselves in Kilkee eating some 99’s, perhaps?

A nice quiet tour of the O’Connor Pass?

Somehow, we doubt it.

It’s official – Lucy Hale IS dating Lawson drummer hottie, Adam Pitts.

Rumours about the pair dating have been circulating for a few weeks now but we reckon this hand-holding just about seals the deal!

While Pretty Little Liars actress Lucy is still acting coy on her Instagram account, her drummer boyfriend has no problem sharing photos of them hanging out together.

Aww, very cute you guys!

Jennifer Lawrence has not had an easy few weeks to say the very least!

Following the hacking scandal in which many of her private photos were leaked onto the internet, the actress was not seen for weeks.

However, and we are so glad of this, the actress has emerged with her head held high – oh and the cutest t-shirt we have ever seen!

No doubt displaying her feeling towards the entire despicable incident, Jennifer’s t-shirt features one of Roald Dahl’s best loved quotes: “If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”

That’s one of our faves here in the SHEmazing! offices too, Jen!

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the legendary Fair City. Oh sure, we all laugh at it and make comments about the occasional bad acting – but let’s be honest here. Before Love/Hate showed up, we all tuned into Fair City for our daily dose of Irish gangster-ism (it’s a word). If there wasn’t a gangster hanging around Carrickstown, there was someone equally terrifying. Here is our list of the top five most terrifying Fair City characters!

Lucy
Lorna Quinn deserves an award for her portrayal of Lucy, it’s not easy to instil such fear with one single look. We would NOT want to stumble into her down a dark alley!

Billy Meehan
Possibly the most terrifying of them all. Lorcan did away with him though, thankfully.

Paddy Bishop
When this guy turned up on the Bishop doorstep, we just KNEW he was trouble. That smile. Shivers down the spine!

Yvonne
Yvonne may have mellowed (slightly) over the years, but no one can spit venom quite like her. It’s all in the eyebrows.

Tommy Dillon
Poor Tommy. He couldn’t cope after his brother died and his wife left him, so he decided to stalk her. He did a good job of it too, hiding in the attic and watching her while she slept. Ten out of ten for creepiness.

Praise the Lord! It’s just what we always wanted – a website that tells us how old we look. Eh, actually….

Facemyage.com lets you upload a photo, answer a few questions, such as do you smoke and are you married, and then voila! You’re either delighted with your result, or terribly upset.

It even guesses how long you’re going to live, and tells you how many days you have left.

Slightly terrifying, if you ask us! Though we bet 39-year-old Kanye was delira with his results!

It has been reported that Prince Harry is back together with his ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas after the two were spotted on a date together.

30-year-old Harry and 25-year-old Cressida were said to have been seen in Kensington, London at a cinema going to see Sex Tape – ooh!

The couple met in 2012 but split in April of this year at a time when many were expecting an engagement announcement.

It was claimed at the time that Cressida’s young age was to blame for the split, along with the fact that she did not want to be in the royal family – but perhaps she’s had a change of heart!

This naughty little kitten knows exactly how to get on Henry the peacock’s bad side – play with his feathers!

Henry, who is trying to show off how fabulous he is, is less than pleased by the intrusion and when even more kittens come along, Henry is beside himself.

Poor Henry we hope his owner saved him from those pesky kittens soon after this!

To some people, being in a long term relationship is the equivalent of a life sentence. Which is fine, each to their own and all that. However, this doesn’t mean it’s ok to say ANY of the following!

Do you not feel like you’re missing out?
Yeah, sometimes. When we see our single friends ‘playing the field’ and having a great time doing it, we can get a bit nostalgic for our single days. But not so much that we’d want to up and leave when we’ve got such a good thing going on. Is that not what all our single friends are hoping for when they go on all these first dates, after all?!

Sure YOU don’t have to shave your legs anymore!
Well excuse you! Just because we’ve been with the same guy for a while now doesn’t mean we just let our personal grooming go out the window. Sure, we can’t have fuzz free legs every time he calls over, but we do still make an effort ye know?

Do you not get fed up of each other?
We’re human. We get fed up of pretty much everyone from time to time, but we always come crawling back to our other halves after a bit of me time. We DO get pretty fed up of this question though!

How come you’re not living together?
Because we can’t afford it, because we don’t want to, because it’s not a legal requirement of being in a long-term relationship – take your pick! The ‘How come you moved in together so fast?’ question is equally bad for those couples who are co-habiting. The answer is usually pretty simple too – because we wanted to.

When are you planning the baby?
Not planning the baby just yet, thanks. And if we were, we certainly wouldn’t tell you about it!

Why isn’t he coming out tonight?
We always sense the desired answer is something dramatic about having had a massive row and broken up. Sadly, the real reason is usually much more mundane. Probably something to do with work, going out with his friends, or just not really being bothered.

Is the sex still the same?
First of all, mind your own bees wax! But since you asked, no it’s not still the same. How could it be? That’s not to say it’s not as good, or perhaps even better.

Do you think he’ll EVER pop the question?
We’re not fortune tellers! Maybe he will, maybe he won’t – but you shouldn’t try to make us worry about the future of our relationship. We’re happy now, just go with that!

Turning 18 and finally being the legal age to buy alcohol is a huge milestone in our young lives, but with that, comes a lot of funny and interesting mistakes we made at that age! Here are a few of them!

1. Thinking you’ll automatically get in everywhere just because you’re finally legal
Unfortunately now we get the bouncer’s excuse of STILL being too young and/or being too drunk (do they not know we’re students and cannot afford the drinks inside the club?)

shes too young for you bro gif

2. Spending wayyyyyy too much money
When you started going out you went overboard on new outfits, taxis and a few cocktails beforehand. At this stage, a night out consists of whatever outfit you don’t have any pictures on Facebook wearing, trying to get a free rickshaw from on Grafton Street and trying elaborate ways to sneak a naggin of vodka into the club!

3. Discovering that the person you kissed isn’t as good looking as you thought
You learn that the person you spent the night kissing isn’t as good looking as you originally thought, when you Facebook stalk him the next day. You decline the request and swiftly try to move on with your life.

4. No night out is complete without the banter in the take away afterwards
Making best friends with other people in your college is essential to cheapen the taxi fare home.

5. Realising you’re a complete lightweight, but not letting that stop you
Realising you’re a complete lightweight, but powering through the night in order to keep up with your friends and save face. It’s such a terrible mistake, but we were young and drunk at the time.

6. Losing your prized possessions in a drunken stupor
Finally now you understand that the best possible outcome from a night out is you return home with your phone, purse and preferably no hangover the next day.
