BEAUTY REGIMEN

Cleanse your face morning and night with a gentle cleanser and follow with a toner. Do not skip any part of this routine or your skin will purnish you with breakouts!

Use a gentle facial mask once a week to remove deeply embedded impurities that will cause breakouts down the road.

Exfoliate your skin with a gentle exfoliating scrub a minimum of 3x a week.Doing so will remove dead skin (cellular build-up) allowing pores to breathe and removing excess oils and dirt.

Use an eye cream morning and night to brighten and hydrate the very thin layer of skin under your eye. Itwill also aid in stopping premature wrinkles from forming.

Use oil-free and paraben-free cosmetics to allow skin breathe and so pores don't become clogged. Less chemicals in your skin as well...yay!

Wash your makeup brushes every 2weeks to remove bacteria, dirt and oils. If you don't, you are more likely to breakout because you are putting all that junk right back on your pretty lil' face..eeew!

If you use cosmetic sponges, replace every time so you don't have bacteria collecting in the sponges. Bacteria loves spongy foam..yuck!

Eat lots of fruits and veggies! So many different types are known to fight acne and other skin conditions as well. Many of the vitamins and nutrients found in them are added to skin care products so why notb eliminate the middle man and eat the fruits and veggies? They are also great on your skin to fight acne...yummy strawberries!!!


Don't touch your face during the day or rest your cell phone on your face while talking...you are asking for trouble if you do!

Get at least 8hrs of sleep a night to allow your skin to restore itself while your body rests

Drink at least 8glasses of water a day to keep your body hydrated

Workout at least 4x a week to to allow your get strong and to sweat out all the toxins in your body. Make sure you shower as quikly as u can after workout

Change your bedsheet every week to minimise bacteria from getting on your skin, causing you to breakout

Avoid the sun as much as you can and if you are outside, wear suncreen...sure you don't want wrinkles and skin cancer!

Love yourself from inside out, beauty is an experience nothing else. It is not a fixed pattern or an arrangement of features. It is something felt...a glow!

AGEING AND BEAUTY

Start with a primer
If you are old enough for laugh lines, a skin care makeover can give you a fresher, younger look.Our skin dries and thins with age, so products used five years ago may look quite matronly today. A better routine calls for skin primer. A high quality primer fills in small wrinkles, making them less visible.

Forego thick foundation
If you will slather foundation directly over ageing skin, you are likely adding years to your look. That thick top coat tends to break into deep cracks, which look far worse than the fine lines yuo are trying to hide. Instead, apply a moisturiser, primer then a light liquid foundation for additional skin plumping moisture. tapping it gently with a sponge, rather than rubbing it in will do the trick!

Avoid clown eyes
applying flattering eye makeup requires precision. Unfortunately, eyesight tends to decline with age. "If you don't see as well, you maynot get the makeup on correctly", the result can include clownish amounts of eye shadow or crooked eyeliner. The solution is "get yourself a magnifying mirror"

Enhance the shape of the eye
As we age, the eyelids tend to droop, so the goal is to draw attention away from the lid and toward the actual eye. Eyeliner is the key. Apply it in a thin streak along the line where the lashes begin, top and bottom. this iwill enhance the shape of your eye an creatthe illusion of thicker lashes. Use soft shades and a light touch when applying eye shadow.

Put eyebrows back on
Eyebrows are extremely important because they frame the face but the brows ten to grow thinner and greyer with age. To put eyebrows back on use eyebrow pencil that complements your hair colour.

Don't let lips bleed
Few things draw attention to wrinkleslike bleeding lip color. This happens like because lipstick is a cream and it tends to slip into any low spaces including the lines around your lips. To keep color from travelling, use moisturiser, then coat the lips with foundation before applying lipstick.
