Summer Skin Care Tips

Our skin is one of our most important features, why not take care of it. 

Today I'm going to share some tips with you all on how to keep your skin in tip top shape this summer.

For oily skin:
1.cleanse thoroughly to get all the oil and grime from your pores which cause bacteria build up and acne. I would recommend developing a skin care routine that best fits your needs and budget.

2. Removing make up ( whether it's a remover or wipe) IS NOT CLEANING YOUR FACE. All it is doing is removing the make-up( and not all the make up comes off) and letting the rest sit on your face. Actually wash your face, to remove all excess product.

3.Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!  Just because you have oily skin doesn't mean that  you do not have to use a moisturizer. It is very important that we keep out skin moisturized( using the right product of course) on order to control the oil out face is producing ( no Vaseline and cocoa butter don't count).

4. Protect! No matter your race or complexion always use sunscreen when going out in the sun. Skin damage/disease/cancer limits no race so protect for your own health.

5. Prime... Before you put any make up on, you better prime your face. Think about it, would you bake cookies without greasing the cookie sheet? No, because you don't want to cookies to stick to the sheet then leave the cookie to be uneven And whatnot, think of your face as the cookie sheet and your make up as the the cookies. Primer is that protecting layer that one makes your foundation last, while giving it a smooth finish and prevents it from sinking into the iBooks and crannies on your face.

So remember Prep( Remove) , cleanse, Moisturize, protect, prime, then apply.

For dry skin and combination, the same tips apply to you too!

  1. In the summer I like combining half a cucumber and 1 tbsp of yoghurt in the mixer can make another easy and productive homemade face cram. request this to your face for 15 minutes and seem absolutely pampered. It makes my skin cool.
