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.
