There are a number of reasons why someone can end up with dry skin, from genetics to allergies and in some cases even asthma. But, a lot of the time, external factors are the biggest cause for dry skin.

Here are ways you can tackle it:

  • Use cleansers that are suited to your skin type.
  • Don’t over-scrub your face as it will strip your skin’s natural oils and leave you with a dry and uncomfortable feeling.
  • Always use a moisturiser after you’ve cleansed your face. Whether it’s in the morning or at night, your skin needs to be moisturised.
  • Make a habit out of exfoliating. This will remove any dead cells lying on the surface of the skin.
  • Since saliva has enzymes that draw the moisturise from your lips, it’s best you avoid licking them. Instead, use a balm whenever you feel your lips are dry.

The only thing better than shopping, is a holiday – put the two together and you’re in heaven!

For a some destination inspiration, read on:

Milan
It’s expensive, yes, but with Milan being one of the fashion capitals of the world, it needs to be on this list.

Madrid
You may not have thought about this one, but Madrid actually offers budget-friendly shopping. The city is pretty cool as well.

Paris
If you want style then Paris is the city for you. Make sure you bring a credit card or two… chic is not cheap here.

London
It’s one of the more expensive UK cities, we know; however, Oxford Street is a high street shoppers dream of so you can’t go wrong.

Kuala Lumpur
It’s home to three of the ten largest malls in the world, so if your budget can stretch this far you will be in shopping heaven.

Tokyo
Japan is famous for its fashionable shops and high-end boutiques. It’s the fourth cheapest city in Asia, so what you spend on your plane ticket you’ll save on your shopping.

It looks like Kim Kardashian’s booty selfie has sparked up a bit of a competition among selfie lovers.

Towie stars Maria Fowler and Jasmin Walia have both tried to recreate the American socialite’s infamous snap.

While they’ve each put a lot of effort into getting the ‘perfect’ bum shot, it seems like neither Maria nor Jasmin come even close to doing what Kim K has done in the original picture – or are we wrong?

The National TV Awards were held last night so we have collected some of our favourite looks of the night for you.

Michelle Keegan was stunning as usual in a high neck clinging cream floor-length dress, not too sure about the hair though, hmm.

Rochelle Humes wore a lace navy-blue dress with long sleeves, we just love that colour.

Doctor Who star Jenna Louise Coleman wore a floor-length black dress with 70’s style sleeves and great neck detailing.

Jacqueline Jossa may be our winner of the evening however, the Eastenders looked simply ethereal in a cream glistening dress that was sheer enough for the perfect amount of skin exposure.

People of Cork rejoice – you’re getting your beloved KC back.

Speaking about the shock move KC sai:, “I’ve being commuting from my home in Cork to Dublin every week for over three years  now and being away from my two baby daughters and my fiancée  Rachel so much, was getting far too difficult. I’m leaving my dream gig for my dream family, I think most people would do the same’’.

When Alex Pelling and Lisa Gant got together in 2008, they never realised what life had in store for them.

When they decided to get married the couple couldn’t choose the perfect setting for their very special day.

In the end, they realised that the only way to choose was to travel the world and have an unofficial wedding ceremony in every country they visited.  They have recorded their three-year journey in their blog 2 people 1 life.

The couple are currently travelling across the globe in Peggy, their 27-year-old camper van and have exchanged vows in some if the most unlikely of places. They had an Ancient Mayan wedding ceremony in Mexico, a traditional Andean wedding in Peru and a topless Embera tribe wedding in Panama.

At the end of their journey, both Lisa and Alex will pick a place to officially tie the knot. However, their journey is not over yet and they plan on visiting a few other countries before reaching Australia.

Even after 624 days of driving around in a little van, Lisa still gushes: “I am deeply in love with my husband to be!”

Big Hollywood hair is in and flat hair is out… although it was never really in to begin with.

Loyal fans of the iron curler take note – Velcro rollers are the way forward.

However, before you cower away in fear, we promise you that they are really easy to work with; what’s more, they won’t damage your hair.

Follow our steps and you’ll be converted for life:

  1. Get the roller right first.
    Larger rollers will give you more volume and wave while smaller ones will give you a small tight curl.
  2. Set your hair with hairspray.
    This will help boost volume.
  3. Section your hair about two inches in thickness
    But no wider than the actual roller. Starting with a Mohawk section makes it particularly easy.
  4. Once in, blast the rollers with your hairdryer.
    Leave to cool for about 15 minutes before taking out.
  5. Hold your curls in place.
    Spritz on some hairspray.

Voila!

It has been reported by TMZ that Justin Bieber was arrested this morning on suspicion of drag racing and drink driving.

He had apparently been at a nightclub shortly before the arrest and is said to be awaiting test results in custody.

This is the latest incident in a string of controversies the young singer has been involved in in the last few weeks. Last week his home in Calabasas was raided on suspicion of his involvement in a serious egging incident.

His mother, Patti Mallette also recently asked his fans to pray for him as she believes he is struggling.

The star uploaded a photo to his Instagram account last night his friend driving his car entitled “lamba” which has since been deleted.
