1) It’s the most wonderfully dry season of all. Make sure you are using the right moisturizer for YOUR skin! Applying lotion and moisturizer right after you step out of the shower seals in the moisture that your skin has just absorbed. Not sure of what is best to use? Schedule a consult with me!
2) Keep your hand off you skin! Your hands and nails have bacteria that can make breakouts worse! Stop picking! Though it may be tough to wait it out, leaving your pimple alone is the best way to avoid infections and possible scarring.
3) Wear your sunglasses! Sunglasses can help prevent lines around your eyes! Never too young to prevent wrinkles!
4) Do you want mistletoe ready lips? Use a bit of baking soda with water to exfoliate your lips! Only exfoliate your skin once a week during the winter – you don’t want to dry out your skin!
5) Alcohol dehydrates the skin (which causes wrinkles) while inflaming tissue. Combat these effects by watering down wine and liquor with club soda and drinking a glass of water between alcoholic beverages.
6) Take a shower before you workout! It’s better to have clean sweat than sweat mixed with makeup and all day dirt and oils sitting on your face!
7) Keep a journal of your facial fillers! You should know when and where you got them and how long they last!
8) Toilet seat covers work nearly as well as store bought blotting papers! When you are on the go and notice your skin in shiny, step into the bathroom and blot that oil away!
9) Wash your makeup brushes! Your brushes build up bacteria after each use, which can cause breakouts! Don’t know what to wash your brushes with? Read this:
10) When you purchase a new skincare product – whether for your face or body, do a test spot on a small area before spreading it all over! If you see any irritation, avoid using and consult with your skin guru!
11) Wear your sunscreen every single day! Just because it’s cloudy doesn’t mean your skin is protected!
12) The best way to clean and exfoliate your skin from home is to own a Clarisonic Sonic Skin Cleansing System…. this product cleans your skin better than any washcloth or face scrub. Call me to order!
