Hey Glammies! Spring is here, we are coming out of those dark mornings and evenings at last. There is still a nip in the air but the sun is out and it is brighter. Cold weather, indoor heating and those extra cups of coffee have played havoc on your skin. Time to shed that dull skin for a bright and dewy one, come out of hibernation and and get glowing! So Glammies, here are a few tips to get you Glowing!! And products that are a must for your "i wana Glow" Spring Kit.
Exfoliation! Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate! I can never tell women enough. Did you know- that the skin changes every 28 days or so? New cells are being created in the lower dermal layer and are making their way up to the surface only to find layers of dead cell there dry'ed out and blocking the pores. This is what makes your skin dull. Also if you are a Teen or suffer from acne it causes breakouts and inflammation because the dead cells are mixing with the oil and bacteria on the surface and causing breakouts and blackheads. Scrub it off! Experts used to say that exfoliation once a week is sufficient. Well i ignored that and have been doing it since 1985, everyday, and i believe it gives you are more youthful look and is key to anti aging. My favourites are Apricot Kernels. St Ives do an amazing range for all skin types and needs. Invigorating for all skin types, Blemish and Blackhead Control, Gentle for Dry Sensitive Skins etc. It's oil free with 100% natural ingredients. And it will not break the bank rrp of €4.99.
Serums. After exfoliation its moisturisation. But first give your skin an extra moisture hit with a serum. The maturer ladies best friend. Serums boost moisture in the skin. They penetrate deeper and deliver a surge of moisturisers to the skin. You wear them underneath your moisturiser. Now the clever people at Olay have mades their Anti Wrinkle 2in1 Firm and Lift Day Cream and Serum. I would highly recommend. Quick, affordable, pleasant, light weight and keeps you moisturised all day. rrp is €12.99.
Primer. Primers act as a barrier between your skin and your makeup stopping it disappearing into the skin. When using a primer you will find you need to apply far less make up giving you a more natural look. Loreal Studio Secrets Primer when applied it leaves a satin smooth finish. I like it because it blurs wrinkles out and covers any dry patches and allows your make up to glide over and last longer. It's 100% fragrance free and oil free and wont clog pores or break the bank at rrp €19.95
Foundation. Ditch they heavy foundations and go for lighter ones. Max Factor Miracle Touch is a great choice and one i use all the time. It looks heavy in the pot but it is not! It is Light and natural looking with a Luminous finish perfect for a dewy Spring Fresh Face. rrp €21.99
Blusher. For the Glow, you want to use a cream blush. I recommend cream blush for every age group. Max Factor Miracle Touch Cream Blush comes in 4 soft shades that are subtle and forgiving if you make a mess and are not too sure of where it should go. Use your fingers and smooth on to the apples of your cheeks and up towards the ear. Soft Copper, Soft Murane, Soft Pink and Soft Candy are the shades.rrp.€8.99
