Hi
Bellas!
I
know it’s been a while since I discussed beauty tips.….so why not start back
again as we now step into a new season. J It is now Fall and you know what that means –
change of weather for sure but most of all….change of makeup colors, products,
etc.; change in your skin care; change in your hair care; just everything
related to beauty it all will change.
A
few most important things to consider changing from the Summer days to the Fall days are:
- Face Moisturizer
- Lip Treatment
- Foundation
- Hair Treatment
- Body Moisturizer
- Makeup colors/textures
(optional)
Face Moisturizer – Since the daily temps
are beginning to cool you’ll notice a difference in your skin. It may become a bit drier, not as soft and
silky, and just in a yuck phase.
Definitely start switching your face moisturizer to something a bit more
heavy. You can start slowly by using a
face cream during the evenings as you sleep, but continue using your
normal-to-light moisturizer during the day.
This will help your skin stay nourished at night so that by the time you
wake up in the morning, your skin is at its perfection. If your skin continues to stay dry and feel
not so good, try finding a day face cream
to use throughout the entire day.
Lip Treatment – Similar to your face, you
will notice a difference in your lips being a bit more drier or chapped. Definitely you’ll need to start using a
heavier lip treatment to prevent any cracked lips or burns. Especially since the temps are cooler yet the
sun is still out shining, you may not feel your lips getting sun burned, but
they will be if you don’t protect them.
Foundation – This goes hand in hand
with how your skin is reacting. Since
your skin may be a bit drier, it may be best to pick up a foundation that has
more of a moisturizing effect. Usually
liquid or cream foundations can help solve that issue. Also try mixing your foundations, for
example; if your skin is normal/combo try applying a small mix of oil-free and
non oil-free foundation together. You
will feel a difference in the way your skin will stay moisturized. Or, use an oil-free primer and a regular type
(non oil-free) foundation. (This is what
I do personally and it works wonders) Those with dry skin, continue using the
same foundation you own, but religiously apply a heavy moisturizer on your skin
morning/night. Ladies….it’s an absolute
must that your skin is hydrated and moisturized before applying any foundation. If it’s not, you will see the product begin
to separate from your skin and that is not good! LOL
Hair Treatment – Same concept, with colder
temps in the air this can also dry your hair out slightly. Try incorporating deep conditioner treatments
at least 2x a week. Also don’t forget
heat protectant sprays….they for sure save your hair from becoming so
damaged. And lastly, don’t keep your
hair wet and in a bun. Keeping your hair
wet and then immediately going outside in the cool air can cause dryness
immediately (and maybe slight mold)
Body Moisturizer – Same concept as to your
face. Also, try using some body scrubs
to help remove any dry skin…..I would say about 2x a week or more (depending on
how dry your skin is). Following body
scrubs, you can apply body oils and body creams immediately since your skin is
nicely fresh and ready to soak up moister.
Makeup colors/textures – This is definitely
optional, but always a plus to incorporate some new fall products. A few must haves to fall wearing makeup: dark
lips, dark bronze eyes and/or matte eye shadows (lay off the uber shimmery
shadows, less is more and keep it subtle)
Welcome
Fall 2012….I for sure can’t wait to start wearing the fall outfits and of
course wearing fall makeup looks. I hope
you all are excited and ready for the new season…if that means shopping for new
fall must haves, then even better! J
