Skincare
by Dedra Whitt
Ok, let's talk a bit about what
is going on underneath that makeup that you are learning
how to do. That should really be our jumping off point.
It is definitely the most important element to your
makeup application.
If your skin isn't well hydrated
and polished, it won't matter how much you do or spend.
I recommend using an exfoliant twice a week to remove
dead skin cells (yuck!) and using a retinol product every
night. Then making sure you moisturize
and apply sunscreen during the day.
Philosophy makes
2 products that I love that have dramatically changed
my skin. They make a great daily exfoliating wash so your
washing and exfoliating at the same time. How great
is that for us busy women? The crystals are small enough
that they won't tear the skin but active enough to
buff fine lines.
The other product is their "help
me" retinol
cream for night. Talk about resurfacing!! Then
moisturize and wait a couple of minutes before
applying any makeup. If you take care of your
skin you'll be surprised at how little makeup you
actually need.
Remember, beautiful, natural skin
is prettier than anything out of a bottle!
