Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that can repair cellular damage caused by pollutants and sun exposure and protect the outer membrane of our cells. According to the National Institutes of Health, vitamin E plays a unique role in enhancing the biological activity of polyunsaturated fatty acids that exist in our cell membranes and plays an important role in protecting the outermost layer of our cells. This has important implications for reversing the signs of aging and maintaining cellular health.

Vitamin E is found naturally in many vegetables and vegetable oils and is also an important ingredient in cosmetic and skin care products. It can add powerful hydration to the skin’s outer layer, help skin retain moisture, and help restore dry, cracked skin. Due to its versatile, gentle properties, vitamin E is a popular natural ingredient in everything from soap and body wash to moisturizers and mattifying primer products.

For an ultra-hydrating moisturizer or primer, look for products that use ingredients like eucalyptus, seaweed collagen, green tea, and aloe juice to soothe, tone, and protect skin while working to boost collagen production and elasticity. 

 Glycerin

Glycerin is a natural humectant, meaning it retains and preserves moisture in the skin without added chemicals or preservatives. It is used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including dermatitis and psoriasis, and has been known to promote cell regeneration. Part of its popularity stems from its gentle, hydrating properties, and it’s particularly popular for those with sensitive skin. 

 Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring molecule in our bodies and plays a key role in retaining moisture. Dermatologists use hyaluronic acid to deliver powerful hydration that can strengthen skin’s outer barrier and improve skin’s elasticity.

It can also work synergistic ally with other natural ingredients such as antioxidants, peptides, and stem cells, helping repair and hydrate dry skin. Hyaluronic acid is immensely popular in dermatological peels and overnight masks, but it’s also a highly effective ingredient in daily skin care products such as retinol eye cream.

 Rosehip Oil

According to Web MD, rosehip oil is derived from the rose flower and, in its natural state, is packed with antioxidants and vitamin C. However, rosehip oil can lose much of its naturally-occurring nutrients like vitamin C the more it is processed and stored for different uses.

Despite losing some of its therapeutic properties, cosmetics made with rosehip oil contain other hydrating ingredients that can deeply penetrate the layers of your skin and potentially help stimulate collagen production. Look for rosehip oil in cosmetics such as pigmented eyeshadow, blush, and highlighters.

Fruit-pigmented makeup often uses ingredients derived from strawberry, cranberry, and acai extracts instead of fillers like talc or other silicone-based binders. You can enjoy the same illuminating glow and dimension with more natural, fruit-derived ingredients.

Let’s say you aren’t into face paint, gems, or glitter, but you’re totally into festival fashion and magical makeup. As you plan for your next outdoor music extravaganza, you’ll not only want to think about how your makeup is going to look in the first picture but also how well it’s going to hold up for the next several hours of dancing in the hot sun. Here are a few tips for keeping your face fresh and fly at a festival this summer. And when it comes to looking great from start to finish, sometimes less is more. Let’s look at the basics.

Tips and Tricks to Nail That Bright-Eyed Look Every Time

Whether you just didn’t get the recommended eight hours of beauty sleep or you’re ending the week running on fumes, fatigue seems to show up in the worst place: our face. Feeling tired is bad enough, but the added dark circles, puffy eyes, and the innocuous yet dreaded, “you look tired” comment will make anyone want to run and hide. Fortunately, an extra hour or two of sleep each night, combined with these easy makeup tricks can transform that haggard look into bright-eyed perfection. Chill Out We don’t mean relax, though that’s always encouraged. One of the best ways to reduce the appearance of puffy under eye bags is with a cool compress. A bag of ice, chilled spoons, frozen tea bags, or cold cucumber or potato slices can help reduce the swelling and puffiness around your eyes. Prep Your Skin After a cool compress, it’s important to prep the delicate skin under your eyes with powerful ingredients that hydrate, nourish, and brighten. Look for eye creams t

A How-to Guide for Finding Your Perfect Foundation

Image
Think of a foundation in the literal sense: a base on which other structures are created. In engineering, a foundation can be the base of a wall or building frame. In science, it’s the starting point of problem-solving and the scientific method. Even the game of Solitaire uses the concept of foundation as the base card on which other cards are added according to suit. The same premise applies to your makeup. Your foundation is the base upon which you create your entire look, and you don’t want to start with an unstable base. Just as different buildings will require different foundations, your skin requires different products based on your unique skin type. While figuring out which foundation to use can be tricky, try to match your foundation types based upon your individual skin goals. Conceal and Blend If you have acne-prone skin, you struggle with inflammation or hyperpigmentation, or you’re sensitive to fragrances, preservatives, and additives, a full cove
