Prepping Your Skin for a Flawless Makeup Application
First things first, let's talk about cleansing. A clean canvas is essential for a smooth and fresh makeup application, so start by washing away dirt, oil, sweat and makeup residue with a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type. Whether you prefer an oil based cleanser for hydration or a clarifying formula for oily skin, don’t miss this step.
Next up, it's time to exfoliate. Gently of course. Exfoliation is key for sloughing away dead skin cells and leaving a smooth, radiant complexion underneath. Whether you opt for a physical or chemical exfoliant, incorporating gentle exfoliation into your skincare routine 2-3 times a week can help keep dull, uneven skin away.
Now, let's talk hydration. Hydrated skin is happy skin, and a well-moisturised complexion is essential for achieving a luminous makeup look. Choose a moisturiser that suits your skin type – whether you're wanting to support any dry, oily or sensitive areas – and apply liberally to lock in moisture and keep your skin looking plump and balmy.
Of course, no morning skincare routine would be complete without sunscreen. Sunscreen is non-negotiable when it comes to protecting your skin. Opt for a SPF 30 or higher and apply it generously every morning as the final step in your skincare routine. You don’t want to spend money on skincare and treatments just for the sun to strip you of your skin glory do you?
There you have it, skincare lovers – the must-do’s when prepping your skin for a flawless makeup application. By incorporating these into your routine, you'll not only create a smooth and radiant base for makeup but also keep skin looking and feeling healthy.
