Beauty Consultant on Skin Care Basics (Part 3)
Masks: Exfoliates dead surface cells as it hydrates and moisturizes the skin.
- Facial Masks for normal to dry skin: Help relax facial muscles and remove dry flaky skin.
- Facial Masks for oily skin: Refines skin’s texture and deep cleans to help control surface sebum.
- Pore Packs: Are designed to eliminate blackheads and reduce blemishes. Mostly used for oily skin.
Foundation Protection: Foundation protects the skin by keeping moisture in and dirt out with the added benefit of a flawless finish. This is a step that some women skip because they don’t quit know how to apply it and are not getting the right look. A couple of suggestions: make sure you have the type that is compatible with your complexion, test the color on your jaw line and it should be the same color as your complexion and make sure you have exfoliated (if not the foundation will show up as flaky).
Types of Foundation:
- Full Coverage: used for normal to dry skin for extra hydration.
- Medium Coverage: used for normal to oily skin.
Whatever your skin type take care of it by keeping it clean. Cleanse, tone and moisturize every morning and every night. Irregular or improper cleansing causes skin problems and makeup that is left on the skin will dull the skin’s surface; while oil and dead skin cells will clog the pores and cause blackheads.
