Healthy skin means less makeup. Key steps: Never skip moisturizer for hydrated, radiant skin, and use retinol to reduce fine lines. Exfoliate regularly to remove dead skin cells.
A moisturizer is a beauty essential, keeping skin hydrated and makeup smooth. A survey found 17% of women never moisturize, while 49% do daily and 33% less frequently.
Retinol reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Consult your dermatologist before use. Retinol penetrates deep into skin layers, making it a recent beauty favorite.
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, making skin smoother and makeup application easier. Use physical exfoliators 2-3 times a week and chemical peels once a week.
Always take off your makeup before bed to prevent clogged pores and breakouts. Wake up with a fresh face, not makeup-covered pillows.
Moisturize, prime, and conceal before applying makeup. Moisturizer hydrates, primer smoothens, and concealer blurs fine lines for a flawless look.
Opt for a lightweight foundation or CC cream for a dewy look. Heavy foundations can settle into wrinkles, while a tinted look enhances skin texture and covers imperfections.
Face powder can make skin look cakey and highlight wrinkles. Use creamy formulas for foundation and blush, and only dust powder on the T-zone if needed.
Use lip gloss for plump lips and avoid dark lipsticks. For eye makeup, use light-colored shadows to brighten your eyes and curl your lashes to make them pop.
