Skin Care Series: Introduction

Let's Talk Skincare:

 Introduction

Before you apply, or allow someone else to apply makeup to your face, you must be sure you are properly caring for your delicate skin.  Applying makeup to skin that has not been properly cared for has the potential to make a minor-bad situation worse; after all, makeup should be used to perfect your skin tone, not change it.  If you were born with naturally perfect skin, feel free to skip this post along with the next 3 or 4 post after. For those of us who weren’t as fortunate, please continue to read.

I have met 2 people in my lifetime that I would say had near perfect skin.  Simple day to day factors and life changes can contribute to changes in your skin: stress, hormones, the season and even medication.  To avoid drastic changes in the skin and to help flush out unwanted toxins, it’s a good idea to maintain a healthy diet, exercise and drink at least 8-10 glasses of water per day. 

Educating yourself on how to care for your particular skin type and how to treat and recognize problem areas before they get out of control will help you further maintain your healthy skin and assist you in choosing the correct skincare products.  Over the next few days, all new post will be dedicated to achieving and maintaining healthy skin.
