SKINCARE 

Get your skincare routine started stat. Follow a simple 4 step routine to help achieve a radiant, glowing complexion.

1. Cleanse...

Start and end your day by washing your face with a gentle cleanser.

2. Serum...

Use serums to address any concern you may. Vitamin Chas brightening properties, Vitamin A (retinol) has antiaging properties, and Vitamin B protects and hydrates. Some serums are best used before bedtime as they may increase sun sensitivity so always read the label for directions of use.

3. Moisturise...

Use a lightweight moisturiser to lock in moisture. If you have oily skin, it's still important to moisturise lo help balance oil production. A gel-based formulation is ideal for oily skin, and creamy is often preferred for dry skin.

4.Sunscreen...

Every morning apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen and reapply as necessary. Sunscreen prevents sun damage, dark spots, and premature aging.

 

Natural makeup 

Skincare is the best foundation for any makeup, especially for a minimalist natural look.

EYES LOOKS 👀

Play it safe, with neutral colours to complement your skin tone. Apply a soft beige colour on the inner eyelid followed by a slightly dark shade in the crease.

If you feel confident, add a touch of colour that matches your outfit of choice. A shimmering gold can often be a nice touch to a festive look.

Try mascara only on upper lashes, for a tidy and clean look.
