No matter how great your makeup skills are, nothing beats a perfect canvas, and that is your skin of course. You need to have beautiful clear skin to showcase your makeup perfeectly. Makeup enhances but will be washed off and you will be left with your bare naked skin to look at, good or bad. You have heard it a thousand times before: Cleanse, Tone and Moisturise. I have a fourth addition to your skin, PROTECT.
To start looking after your skin properly, you need to know the skin type category you fall into so as to be able to purchase the products that are suitable for you. If you dont know your skin type, consult a beauty therapist or beauty expert to look at your skin and start you on the right path. You must cleanse your face at least twice a day. You may use the wash off types or the disposable face wipes to cleanse your face. After that, you use an alocohol free toner to complete the cleansing process and refresh the skin. You then treat and moisturise your face with a serum and moisturiser that is suitable for your age and skin type. Your face cream for day use should have at least SPF15 or more if you are wearing lightening creams or have a fairer complexion to prevent sun damage. Lastly, you apply a makeup primer to give your makeup a smooth base to lie on and you are ready to work your makeup magic.
Once or twice a week, exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin cells and apply a mask to deep cleanse your pores. Visit your facialist at least once every 6 weeks to pamper and extract blackheads and whiteheads from your skin.
Remember, beautiful skin outlives fantastic makeup so take good care of your skin. Dont smoke, drink moderately, eat clean and get adequate sleep and you are on your way to looking younger even when you are old and gray. Start today and make your best features work for you.
My top product picks are Botanics Brightening cleanser, Flori Roberts Enlighten Cleanser, Toner and Moisturiser, Ardyss AM PM Logetivity cream, Botanics Night Facial Oil, Ardyss Triple Derma Management System.
