I’m here
with another beauty tip for you. I wanted to share some of my skin care routine
and preps before and after makeup. This is something I do to maintain healthy
looking skin. After all that makeup, you still want your natural skin to pop as
much as your highlight.
So follow
me on the journey of more success…*Dj Khaled’s voice*
Steps
before makeup:
Major key
#1: Cleanse
This is
major key because it helps to remove impurities as well as buildup of dirt in
the pores. In order to cleanse, I love using black soap because it is super
natural and its ingredients are nutritious for healthy skin. But you can always
use the cleanser that works best for you.
Tip:
Leave black soap or the cleanser that you’re comfortable with, for about 2-3
minutes for best results.
Major key
#2 is Water….
Yes,
water is a major key to success and also keeps the skin nourished both inside
and out. Drinking lots of water, at least eight glasses a day keeps your skin
moist and hydrated.
Tip: When
washing your face, use lukewarm water and not hot water to prevent damage of
the blood vessels on your skin.
Major key
#3: Moisturize
Using a
moisturizer is very important to maintain a flawless skin. Whether you have dry
skin, combination skin or severe oily skin, you must always moisturize. For me,
I love using Cetaphil because it is recommended by dermatologists (not really).
Mainly because it is very good for the skin and it is what I use...
Steps
after Makeup
Now
instead of just washing my face to remove my makeup, I love using makeup
remover wipes first. I like to do this before I wash my face because I am sure
that I removed all my makeup.
There are
different brands of makeup remover wipes but the two top ones I love are the
Simple makeup remover wipes and the Neutrogena makeup wipes.
I have
included the links of where you could get them.
Then I
wash my face with the black soap and sometimes use it as a mask for about 2-3
minutes and wash my face.
Now a
very major key…Instead of using just a moisturizer, I use castor oil and
sometimes olive oil, depending on your personal preference on my face at night
and that is what keeps the skin super soft and plus it is natural as well.
Many of
these tips are very affordable, and plus the black soap is another way to save
money as well. If you would like for me to do a DIY on how to make black soap,
please leave a request below and I would definitely do that. Thank you all for
reading.
