In a makeup blog, most of the time the only thing that you see is makeup techniques, however, I think that it is important for you to really take care of your skin too, that is why I am doing this post.  Personally, I think that skin without makeup is sometime sexier and that is what this skincare line can do for you!

There is a foaming cleanser that is extremely concentrated but gentle, a scrub, a moisturizer and finally some firming serum and an instant wrinkle smoother for all of us.  All of that for a low cost – which is cool!  Check it out!

Let’s talk about taking care of your skin now – makeup goes onto your skin as you all know, but it can not hide everything in the world.  If you skin is very dry, you absolutely need something to hydrate it and Kerstin Florian’s Aromatherapy Neroli Water is absolutely something that every woman should have at least. 

This incredible water is all natural and has some orange blossom in it so soothe your skin as well as hydrate it.  You can use it pretty much all over your body too, however, beware of that for it is not a cheap bottle of water.  This particular product does a fantastic job in calming things down and overall keeping your body calm, cool and collected.

The best part?  This stuff smells absolutely incredible, so your face will smell absolutely impeccable all of the time!  So think about it – really think about it!

So I have to say that these four blogs were so much fun!  Skin care is honestly one of the most important things in the world and should definitely be taken seriously.  So while this series is coming to a close, there is still one more point that I need to drive home and that is to exfoliate!  Not that does not mean that you need to scrub your skin raw in order to ensure that all of the dead cells are off, but you should definitely scrub just a little bit!

This is where LUSH comes in again!  This amazing ocean salt cleanser is a great idea when you are looking to exfoliate.  Not only does it use all sorts of natural ingredients in it that will have your skin glowing and looking fabulous, but honestly, what better way to clean your skin than with salt?

All right ladies, just take these points into mind before you put on your makeup.  You always want to make sure that the makeup has a fantastic looking base and you certainly want to make sure that your skin looks fabulous all of the time!

Now that you know that drinking water will do nothing but help your skin and overall body health in general, now we can move on to exercising!  While I am definitely not one for exercising, I mean, honestly, I hate it – it actually really helps your skin and just how tight it is and how soft it is.  While many of you are in the same boat as me, it has to be done ladies!

Just a simple thirty minute exercise a day will honestly improve not just your skins firmness, tightness and also just how great it looks, but it will also improve your general health and you will feel better all over the place!  Yoga is a fantastic way to get some of that energy back and certainly a great way to improve your skin!

So go on ladies, get yourself into the exercise mode and improve those cells to make your skin look young, feel fantastic and all around be amazing!

We all know that makeup is honestly one of the most important things to a woman, but you know what?  If makeup does not have a good base, it is not going to look good. Period. That is one of the main reasons why women are so concerned with their skin and how healthy it is!  Well ladies, in the next few blogs we are going to explore some of the ways that you can take care of your skin, naturally!

Firstly, you need to drink some water.  Honestly, drinking water, up to eight glasses a day is going to do everything for your skin!  Not only will the water get rid of all of the toxins that are in your body, but to be honest, it will improve the firmness of your skin and will definitely help keep your skin clean, clear and under control!

While not all of us like to drink water, adding in some of the Crystal Light packs (or something similar) is a fantastic way to add in a bit of flavor to a boring drink and will ensure that you get the right amount of water a day!

When I first started putting on foundation, I swear it took me years and years to find out exactly what kind I like!  Heck, I am still trying out new ones, but I always go back to my old Dream Matte Mousse and that works for me.  Do you know what works for you though?  Do you know what foundation will bring out the bright features in your face and will honestly help make your complexion look flawless?  Well, we’ve got the scoop for you on foundations and we are going to spill it all in this three part blog!

Firstly, you need to pick your color.  Now, obviously, you want to find something that will match your skin tone.  We’ve all been through those years that our jaw lines never matched out neck and that is completely and utterly out of style, so you need to be sure that you are buying the right color!  While you are in the store, you will notice quite a few different choices most likely and you want to be sure that you hold your hand under the displays in order to find the one that matches you.

As soon as you find the color, that is half the battle!  Stay tuned for more foundation tricks and how to find the right one for you!

“The original sexy flush!” Benetint has been a makeup favorite for years, and has spawned numerous copycat products. But nothing compares to the original, and makeup artists and product junkies alike, swear by Benetint! This cult product comes in a bottle, with a brush applicator similar to a nailpolish brush. While the rose-tinted liquid may be a little tricky to apply at first (the liquid consistency is prone to streaking, if you aren’t careful) once you get the hang of it, you’re likely to call it your holy grail of cheek products. Not only does it provide you with a natural flush of perfect sheer pink (that matches most skintones) it’s very long-wearing, so you don’t need to keep reapplying.

This versatile cheekstain also doubles as a lipstain, so it’s great if you’re travelling light! I wouldn’t recommend using it on your bare lips though. I suggest a light coat of lipbalm underneath the stain to counter-act the drying effect.

My friend Tasha recommended Cath Kidston Hand Cream so I gave it a try — and guess what? I loved it! Smells like roses and feels like silk. Beautiful!

Found them online at discountcosmeticsuk.com for £6 a pop.

Cath Kidston Hand Cream

Well, skin-wise, I have only discovered Shiseido a couple months ago. I’ve been using the Shiseido Future Solution Eye & Lip Contour Cream for a couple months now and it’s getting an A+. It’s very relaxing and refreshing, and apparently it WORKS too (too early to judge on my end ).

Number two is my Shiseido-favorite. It’s an excellent day cream called Shiseido White Lucency Protective Day Cream. Very good for sensitive and tired skin!

Both of these are tested and approved by yours truley, so you can feel confident picking them up! ]]> http://aesthetic-technologies.com/2008/04/18/shiseido-skin-care/feed/ 0
