How to Get Your Face Ready for Spring

Hopefully by now spring has sprung in your part of the country, which means if you’ve been hibernating over the winter, it’s time to come out of the den. Our faces are ready to shed their dry, dead skin cells and let their natural beauty come through. Are you ready? Let’s look at four ways to get your skin prepared for another adventure-filled spring and summer.

Extra Exfoliation

It’s nice to start the season with a fresh face that’s been properly pampered. However, winter probably wasn’t all that kind to your skin, so be sure to get rid of the top layer of old, dry, flaky skin with an exfoliation treatment. As the season progresses, it’s perfectly acceptable to keep up a gentle exfoliation routine a couple times a week to remove the grime, sweat, oil, and sunscreen that are bound to build up over time. Exfoliating will prevent your pores from clogging while ensuring your skin healthily renews itself.

Break Up with Breakouts

Acne is a common occurrence as your skin transitions from one season to the next. If breakouts are a problem for you during the summer thanks to heat, humidity, and sweat, be sure to be kind to your skin. Look for a natural acne treatment that’s soothing and gentle yet potent enough to kill acne-causing bacteria. Pay attention to products that keep your skin hydrated and nourished—whether in the form of an anti-acne sheet mask or a night serum packed with vitamins and antioxidants. Be sure to show your skin some love by unclogging pores in the healthiest way possible.

Get Primed and Ready

There’s no reason for your makeup to slide off your face under the heat of the sun. A quality mattifying primer is just what you need as a protective layer between any makeup that you may put on top of the primer and any oil produced by your skin underneath. The best primers not only provide a perfect palette for makeup application but also allow your makeup to last longer. Seek out a formula made with seaweed collagen that prevents damage to amino acids in your skin and provides powerful anti-aging compounds to make your face look and feel its best.

A Final Word: Sunscreen

By now we’re all well aware of the harmful effects of the sun’s rays, so adequately protect your face with an SPF 30 sunscreen that provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. Be sure to adequately apply sunscreen to your face about 30 minutes before stepping out into the sun and reapply as needed throughout the day. Also, don’t forget to wear sunscreen on your neck and chest—seek out a formula that’s safe and gentle for all skin types.

Establishing a daily skin care routine is important because it can help prevent breakouts and protect your skin from damage. With summer just around the corner, it may be time to change up your routine. Are you ready?

How to Rock a Fresh Festival Face This Summer

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. Pucker Up with Lip Scrub There’s nothing worse than chapped lips. Lips are often overlooked, and they are often the first thing to take a beating in the heat, which is why it’s important to prime them with a sweet, exfoliating lip scrub with nourishing ingredients like olive oil, coconut oil, and vitamin E. Lip-softening brown sugar and refreshing peppermint oil are must-have ingredients as well. Your lips will feel smooth, pampered, and ready f

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
