SKIN CARE 101


The first step to exceptional makeup is exceptional skin.  Just like hair, in order for skin to look and feel healthy it needs proper nourishment.  Here is a simple breakdown of ingredients to look for in your skincare:

 

Antioxidant:  fights free-radicals  (i.e. pollution, environmental damage, uv rays)

 

Vitamin A:  helps fight aging.  Typically applied at night because it makes your skin sensitive to sunlight.

 

Vitamin C:   antioxidant.  Boosts natural collagen production to prevent wrinkles and plump skin.   Great for acne-prone skin.

 

Vitamin E:  heals and moisturizes.  Can be applied to new scar tissue to help minimize scarring.
