Renovation

Ok, so I love Makeup, I have tons of it, its officially a problem for my finances, lol. But, what I can't stand is a women that has on so much makeup you're afraid to see her real face!.. Whoa.

Some rules need to be set and that's what I'm here for..

First step to a flawless made over face is what lies beneath, so lets get our skin in order. The fall is the best time to get it together, the sun isn't beaming down on you damaging your flawless face. Don't get me wrong, I love summer!! Whats a better glow than a nice even tan on any skin tone, but we all know that the sun is damaging and the mild fall weather is the perfect time to give your skin a rest.

First step of your fall skin renovation is exfoliation. We have to get rid of the damaged layer of skin on top. I suggest a good facial and body scrub (stay close to later post for specific recommended products). If you're a skin care novice, start with something mild, if you're an expert and you have a cabinet full of buffers and scrubs this is the perfect time to use your microderm kits and chemical peels. (Use it now before the winter air hits and starts the next phase of skin damage).  Take a few minutes extra during your evening regimen, give yourself a good facial.
Start with a mild (but effective) face wash to get rid of all the surface scum that the day piles on. Next use whatever facial you chose, (preferably an exfoliate as I mentioned), something that will scrub away dead skin and give you a new layer to moisturize. I don't believe in giving yourself multiple treatments in a day so follow this with a nice mild toner and a healthy amount of moisturizer, a tall glass of water and get some good shut eye..

You'll feel renewed in the AM and your skin will say thank you..

Use a mild wash in the morning and don't forget a moisturizer with SPF, always! At minimum SPF15.

Even if you're applying makeup for the day, moisturized skin blends better with all products (liquid or power).. You're going to have the glow either way, take it with you all day!

p.s. I mentioned body scrubs, Whatever your favorite body wash try to use something with micro-scrubbers or use your favorite body wash with a loofah. While you're scrubbing your face you might as well have the soft renewed skin everywhere else right..  ;)

Peace ~ Love
