I wanted to talk a little bit about the basics of skincare instead of reviewing makeup or giving tips and tricks. This isn't rocket science nor is it probably something that everyone isn't already aware of. It's just good to go over it again. So many people ask me how to make their face look brighter or bags look smaller under their eyes, or skin softer, less oily, or more moisturized. I could tell you so many products that would conceal those problems and they would work....temperarally. It would be a quick fix. If you want great skin, it starts within! Drink buttloads of water (yes I just said buttloads). You can never drink too much water. Your skin needs to be hydrated. Water is great for your skin, hair, nails, waistline (hello?) so why wouldn't you drink lots of it. And now days there are so many ways to disguise the taste of water so don't give me that you don't like water. :) And what you eat affects how you look. You put junk in, junk comes out....EAT BETTER! Also, wash your face every single night and every single morning. This is soooo important. For some of you, you don't wash your face everyday and you never get pimples or anything. But I challenge you to wash your daily twice a day and watch the change take place! Washing your face with a great cleanser does amazing wonders for your skin and complexion, even the feel and appearance. Also, you don't need crazy expensive products to clean your face or to moisturize. Some may work better than others but use what you can afford. Anything is better then nothing right?
Here is a link that gives you all the science gargin about moisturizers and what is good for your skin, check it out! Moisturizers will help with flaky skin, oily skin, dull skin, saggy skin, all skin! Again you will be amazed at what taking care of your skin will do. Another thing is exfoliate at least once a week (especially with summer coming up). You won't need as much product because there will be less dead skin to cover. Remember my lemon and sugar stuff? Do it? it's cheap and it works! You won't need to spend any money at all but your face will thank you. These simples steps are so important and create a fabulous foundation for your makeup to go on. You will use less makeup, you won't need as much products to correct because the problems won't be there, you will look younger, and feel better!
I hope this helps to spark some interest in taking care of your skin from the beginning. We have to stop looking so much at quick fixes and start with the basics to get 2beautiful skin. Once you start this process you won't want to stop! It works and it doesn't take much effort at all.
Be blessed always and always 2beautiful! :)
