Transition your Makeup from Winter to Spring!

Shedding the winter blues starts with getting your skin ready for spring.  We’ve been hiding under our coats, sweaters, and foundation and spring means new beginnings and shedding all those layers.  So get ready to ‘build your face’ for spring and there’s no better place to start than with your skin…

Looking good with less makeup for summer starts with good skin and the best way to shed dry winter skin is to start exfoliating regularly.  Add a quarter size of exfoliator to your favorite cream or gel cleanser and use in the shower twice a week.  Follow that by using a daily moisturizing lotion that has an SPF15 or more.  After this, your skin will look and feel refreshed and it’s ready to glow!

Check out Cosmedicine Self Adjusting Skin Exfoliator and Remede Sweep!  Both gently exfoliate and are perfect for even the most sensitive of skin.

Once you’re ready for makeup, begin with a tinted moisturizer which evens out skin just like a foundation, but it looks and feels much lighter. The application technique with this product is key: Blend one direction one area at a time.  Any corrective product, like foundation or tinted moisturizer that is rubbed into the skin will actually be removed while being applied if rubbed.  Blending with the middle or ring finger will give you better results.

Try Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer for a light, weightless coverage.

Remember, spring and summer is about making more of an impact with less effort and good skin will always take you further than any color can!  You’ll never look as good as you do today…
