TIPS FOR WINTER SKIN

In order to have the best skin in these harsh winter months, there are some essential steps and products needed. 

1. Wash and moisturize your face 2x a day, once in the morning and then before going to bed. In the evening use a thin layer of vaseline as your moisturizer, you will see and feel the difference in the texture of your face.

2. Never go to bed with makeup on

3. Analyze your skin make sure the products that you are using are the right type for your face. My aunt who has very dry skin began using Lancome for dry skin, and now her skin is glowing. Its an investment but well worth it. 

4. If needed go to a determologist!!!

5. Make sure your moisturizer is SPF 15 or greater

6. Keep lip balm, with the cold air your lips will get extremely dry

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BRONZER

There are so many ways to choose what is the best bronzer for you. I'm going to provide you with a few different ways to help your select your perfect bronzer. I also recommend that you should have a few selections of bronzers depending on the occasion. 

1.

   Determine whether your skin is oily or dry. It's easy to do by checking your skin a couple of hours after you wash it. Do your fingers glide across the skin area on your nose and cheeks. Does it feel like there is a slight film beneath them? If you so most likely have oily or combination skin. If not, then your skin tends to be on the drier side.
2.

   The best face bronzer for oily skin types is a powder bronzer. Powder bronzers come in both pressed and loose powder form. The advantage is that these products will last longer on your skin. If you choose a liquid bronzer there is more of a tendency for it to fade and your complexion look more oily as the day passes. By using a powder bronzer you avoid this complication. Go with a matte bronzer.

   Is your skin combination skin? Do you tend to be more oil in the T-Zone area such as the nose, cheeks and chin? Powder bronzers work best for you and you can even wear shimmer bronzers if you apply them lightly. There is a another selection when choosing the best face bronzer for your skin type. You can also experiment with liquid bronzing products. If you have combination skin then try liquid bronzers in makeup samples before buying one. Just make sure to apply them with a light hand.

   Do you have dry skin? Liquid, lotion and gel bronzers work great on dry skin. They glide across your skin and provide you with nice even sheer color. Your best face bronzer can be used on your cheekbones as blush if you need to avoid having bronzer settle in fine lines. That doesn't mean you can't wear powder bronzer, but if you do then you might prefer a matte bronzer. This is especially true if you have fine lines.
