As we age, we become more experienced, wiser, confident, and much more. Then again, also with age comes, fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin and sometimes, dull complexion. With all of the blemishes and imperfections that comes along with ageing, we all need anti-aging serum that works double-time to help us achieve and boost an even, youthful, glowing and smooth complexion. While there are numerous options offered in the skin care range today, your best options include Matrixyl 3000 and Hyaluronic Acid. Let’s check out today’s post in full to learn which one is best for your unique needs:
The weather is gone colder now and this means just one thing: dryness of the skin. And if there is anything I do not joke with in all seasons, it would be moisture. I love to moisturise, moisturise and moisturise more. When I did my skin care routine on video featuring my everyday skin care routine, one of my lovely viewers left me a kind comment saying, “sincerely, I can’t figure out how old you are. Your skin is so youthful” 🙂 That made me smile. You can see the video HERE with more comments.
Without further ado, today, I bring you a beauty haul + some skin care TIPS for this season .
I was asked how long it takes me to finish using my skin care products on my YouTube channel so when I bought a new set of the Clinique-3-step system again, I reviewed it with an updated skin care routine of mine.
So in this post, I have a skin care haul, details of how long it takes me to finish each products and some skin care tips for you…………
When you are “dark skin”, you can get away with virtually any kinds of skin disorder from skin pigmentation to black heads, facial spots or redness or even pimples. However, if your are light skin or fair, your spot is easily noticeable or obvious. Whether dark skin or light skin, today, I have for you WHY your spots are so visible.
I have shared WHY it is important to choose the perfect foundation with you, I have also shared HOW to get the perfect make up routine with you + I have shared the IMPORTANCE of using the right tools for your make up application with you.
While all those are important to get that flawless make up in your make up routine, it is also important to know that although we may try, it is almost inevitable to prevent the face from becoming oily especially for people who have combination to oily skin……Today, I bring you “Why Beauty Blotter is a MUST in your make up Bag”.
Every time I write makeup blogs, I always say, “to get the perfect or flawless makeup, you do not have to have the most expensive makeup BUT the right tools or makeup brushes”. What I mean is this; the right tools / make up brushes help you get flawless makeup finish and not the makeup itself.
While it is important to use the “best” tools to apply your make up, it is more important to care for the tools you use for your makeup application. WHY?
Whether subtle make up or dramatic one, good “foundation” is the back bone of any kind of make up. To get that flawless looking skin even if you don’t have one, you need a foundation.
However, it is not just enough to get a foundation, the KEY thing to consider when choosing a foundation is if the foundation actually matches your skin tone or would cover the multitude of sin of acne or spots we are trying to cover up……
Last year I tried lots and lots of beauty products and I must say I found / discovered so many great products. While there was the good, there was also the not so good. Today, I will not speak about the misses, I will focus on the hits and so I bring you 7 of my favourites last year and products I would highly recommend.
I am currently having a round of style master class. In these classes, I have a Google hangout with women from different parts of the world and I help them discover their style, what works for their life style and personal style etc, and skin care.
Skin care is a bonus for the master class and every time we get to skin care, all the women (mostly women of colour) ask the same question which is why do dark skin tone need sun protection factor?
Sun protection factor is not limited to people with fair skin only (Caucasians or White). Everyone needs SPF in their skin care regimen and daily too. Why?
In the colder months like November, December and January, the skin feels really dry or drier than normal. In these months, your make up lasts longer because their is little or no sun. Basically you do not sweat so much because there is less heat. To get that dewy and flawless skin for the season, no negotiations, you have to moisturise, moisturise and moisturise, if not your skin becomes drier. Your lips need moisture too.
It is a DIY (do it yourself) kind of day today! On this post, you will learn how to get soft, smooth and silky lips with my tested and trusted homemade recipes for exfoliating your lips.
But first, recently, I wrote a blog on LIP THERAPY. That post is all about everything you need to know about the do’s and don’ts of the lips. If you missed it, you may want to check it out because today’s post is like a continuation of that post.
Sometimes, you come back home really tired after a long day and can’t be bothered about your strict night routine of face washing, clarifying or toning and moisturising and all the good stuff you do in the night to pamper your skin. All you want to do is get in your pyjamas and go straight to bed. This is called the lazy night.
So what do you do on a lazy night? In this blog, I will share with you HOW to care for your skin on a lazy night.
ASK MJ ::: “Skin Care” Question Can lack of adequate water cause my face to be dry? Or applying foundation directly to my face without a primer? I did it once and I noticed my face became dry after taking it off. MJ SAYS Let me start by saying, NEVER leave…
Pay attention to you skin is my word of wisdom when it comes to beauty. Today, I bring you a review of the “Clinique’s Prep-Start 2 in 1 Exfoliating Cleanser“. I am doing the review because I have been using the product for a while and it is doing great things to my skin. Since it is that good, I thought to share it with you too. If you are looking for a product that will exfoliate and cleanse your skin without leaving your skin dry and tight, here’s a product you want to know about.
I love a full face of make up that looks almost like I am not wearing any make up. I have mastered this art by repeatedly doing my own make up and other people’s make up too. If you look at the photo at the top very well, you will notice that I have my brows done (intense because make up is neutral) eye make up done, contour done, blush done, lashes done and nude lips done. That is a full face of make up that looks like I wasn’t wearing so much. The photo is not photoshopped / altered, that is my real face!
I have had my fair share of bumps after shaving. I have tried shaving with shaving cream and I have tried shaving with razors too, after trying both on numerous occasions, I have come to conclusion that razor is best for me. Why? I will tell you all about it in this post and how to prevent bumps after shaving.
It is no secret that I insist my photos are not over processed with editing and photoshop so I don’t look different to people when I meet them in real life. Thankfully, I have met so many of you who end up saying, you look same like your photos.
And because I don’t like to photoshop my photos to perfect my skin, I have dedicated time to learn and I am still learning how to take good care of my skin. Today, I bring to you how to reduce facial fine lines and wrinkles……
I recently ran out of one of my favourite foundations and because it has now become my go to; I had to buy another one. Surprisingly, I didn’t use it for two weeks, I used other ones. Now that I have finally bought a brand new one, I present to you, the Lancome Teint Idole ultra 24 hrs foundation. I also bought the Lancome LA BASE Primer by the way.
One of the best things you could do for yourself is to care for your skin (face & body). We all know that the only constant thing in life is change. As we get older, our bodies begin to change and the most obvious part of the body that will definitely get older is the skin. The body would change whether we like it or not!
However, it is been proven that when we moisturise our skin, this tend to slow down the ageing process. For me personally, moisturising my skin is one of my skin care priorities.
Slapping on a hat, throwing on some sun shades and wearing sunscreen(sun protection factor) may be 3 of the obvious things that comes to mind when we talk about spending time in the sun or on the beach. Well, It is way more than that.
