How to prepare the skin for beautiful make-up application
1. Cleansing your face is crucial! You don't want any residue or impurities to relax overnight on your skin causing you acne and breakouts.
My personal favourite at the moment is DR. Organic Tea Tree Face wash, or, when I feel lazy or I have eyeliner and bold matte lips to take-off, I use Garner Micellar Water.
2. Always use toner! It's very important to bring the PH balance of your skin back and toner it's a great way of doing this and cleaning any residue that might be left after cleansing.
3. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! A very important step in your day-to-day skincare routine should be moisturising your face after cleansing it, once in the morning, and once in the evening. Day cream and night cream have both different qualities, so it's good to pay attention to these aspects as well when going "skincare shopping".
These are the most important steps for a basic maintenance of a healthy, glowy skin, and should be done on a daily basis. Whenever you feel it's needed, and according to your skin type, you can also use additional skincare products that will benefit the appearance of your complexion.
Face scrub - it's very important to scrub your face once or twice a week, to remove dead skin cells and to get rid of flaky skin. It helps control the sebum of oily skin and help dry skin to maintain it's radiance and smoothness, so subbing should be a very important step in anyone's routine.
Eye cream - No to fine lines, wrinkles and under-eye bags. Eye cream helps smooth the underage area, making your eyes brighter and the skin more hydrated.
Face mask - You can always prepare your own natural face mask at home, using natural edible ingredients! There are loads of recipes online, each one good for certain skin types, using honey, lemon zest, argan or tree tree oil, eggs and other natural goodies. Or if you prefer to stick to the shop-bought face masks, then you might consider trying one of these.
Facial oils - Great for dry skin and oily skin alike, face oils should be included in your weekly pampering sessions!
Face serums - amazing for preventing dryness, flaky skin and most importantly - wrinkles!
Facial sprays - great for a fresh mist on your face after you've finished applying your favourite skincare products! Leaving you feeling fabulously fresh during a hot summer day.
Here is a picture with me after I just did my skincare routine.
I love the feeling of a clean, fresh face!
