Carrot juice is a amazing for skin. By drinking the juice and applying it topically it fights acne breakouts and fades scarring.
Take a bath after you’ve finished your makeup. Don’t dunk your head in the water but the steam will help your makeup set into your skin so you look less made up. This will also give you a natural glow. - Makeup Artist Mai Quynh - Mark Cosmetics
Peel & mash up a ripe kiwi then rub contents all over your face to help exfoliate and even out skin tone. Wash off with cool water.
My skin has been very sensitive as of late and my normal products have been making my skin break out. Over the past couple of weeks I have been trying out different kinds of powders, foundations, and bronzers to see what will work best with my skin. Yesterday, I went out and bought Almay’s new BlemisHeal Technology foundation and pressed powder.
- Almay Clear Complexion foundation (in beige)
- Almay Clear Complexion Pressed Powder (in medium)
I used it this morning and I must say so far so good. I like how it looks on my skin and it is very light. It really doesn’t feel like I have any makeup on. Hopefully it will last all day and won’t break out my skin.
Does anyone else use this foundation or pressed powder?
Keep an eye on your sunscreen and the expiration date. They usually last about 2 years but you want to be sure or you’ll be sorry.
