Looking Fresh for the Spring







Its Spring Time So Lets Spring Up Your Make-Up! I’m going to take it step by step so lets start with the face.

These three tips for the face are essential!

1. Great skin starts in the kitchen. Make sure you are drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. This will help keep your skin glowing and reduce blemishes. Also taking a multi-vitamin helps with all over cell growth throughout your body keeping you in good shape.
2. Make sure you are washing face before bed, even if you aren’t wearing makeup. Throughout the day your skin is exposed to so many free radicals—dust, dirt and whatever is in the air, especially now that it is Spring so much pollen and mold are floating around in the air which can stick to your skin and cause allergic reactions, also which causes clogged pores and breakouts. Use a foaming clean cleanser. If you have troubles with acne use a foaming cleanser with Salicylic acid.

3. Moisturize and don’t forget it! Moisturizing keeps the skin smooth and healthy…it is like food for your skin. Even though it’s not summer yet, the sun is shining bright in the sky and touches your skin. Wear a sunscreen or an SPF foundation. It really doesn’t matter if it’s a 15 or a 30, just wear it! Sunscreen prevents freckles, moles and skin cancer so protect your skin!


Products for Your Face I live by and Recommend for You!

1. Face Wash-Neutrogena facial cleansers-they come in a variety for all skin types and don’t cost a fortune. Neutrogena also carry face moisturizers which aren’t a fortune either. 2. Sunscreen-Walgreen’s sells an oil free sunscreen which is safe for the face and body. It comes in a lip balm as well.
3. Foundation- In spring time, you don’t have to limit yourself to light coverage’s…its not summer yet. But, you can choose the amount of coverage. Prescriptives sell foundations for all skin types. They very from very light coverage to full coverage. I personally love the powder foundation. Now this is a foundation wear you can decide the coverage-heavy or light. Oh and believe me it covers and it feels light as a feather on your face.


4. After applying make-up fill a spray bottle with Evian water (or any mineral water) and spray it on to your face. Your make-up will then feel fresh and look like porcelain.
