Skin Care for your BIG Day…or any day

Ladies it is important to take care of your skin year round, no mater what the occasion.  If your big day is just around the corner, its not too late get that baby booty smooth, flawless skin we all want. Let me share a few tips as to how to achieve the skin you’ve always dreamed of.

Tip 1: Stay Hydrated

            95-97% of the body is water.  When you lack water it shows in your dry flaky skin. Aint but so much a moisturizer can do.

Tip 2: Take a daily multivitamin

            If you’re in child bearing age this a must for you anyway, weather your planning a pregnancy or not.  Lets be real…..most of us don’t eat the amount of fruits and vegies we should daily.  The multivitamin helps with the nutrients we’re missing from our diets.  Vitamins A/Beta Carotene, Omega-3 fatty acids, Zinc, Vitamin C, E, and B are nutrients that help with skin, hair, and nail growth.  But don’t over do them…..some can be toxic.

            Suggestion: One A Day Women’s

Tip 3: Use a cleanser and moisturizer for your skin type

            If you have dry skin….why in the world are you using a cleanser for normal or oily skin.  Here’s a quick test….take a tissue square, and dab your forehead and nose…if you see oil on the tissue you have oily skin.

            Suggestions:

Acne/blemish (dark spots) Prone Skin – Mary Kay Velocity facial cleanser, lightweight moisturizer, blemish control toner, and acne treatment

Sensitive Skin – Mary Kay Botanical Effects ^TM cleanser, mask, freshen, and hydrate. This line is available for dry, normal, or oily skin types.

Fight ageing – Mary Kay Time Wise Solutions: 3-in-1 cleanser, age fighting moisturizer, day solution sunscreen SPF 35, and night solution.  Available for Normal/Dry and Combination/Oily skin.

Tip 4: Remove some of that dead skin from your face….it won’t hurt

            Microdermabrasion: used after cleansing the skin the microbeads help remove dead skin from your skin.  For best results use 3 times a week, but not back to back days.  Give your skin time to recover.

            Suggestions: Mary Kay Time Wise Microdermabrasion.  I use this after cleansing with Velocity.

Tip 5: Limit the amount of products used on our face in the morning.

            I ‘ve found this to be very helpful.  I use the Microdermabrasion at night because it has a moisturizer that goes with in and I don’t want to weigh my skin through the day.

Tip 6: PROPERLY clean remove your make up and clean your face at night.

            I struggle with this one myself.  Try not to sleep with your make up on, it gets on the pillow and leaves a stain, but most of all it clogs up your pores and caused breakouts.  Also the products used on your face only last for so long before they start to degrade and release free radical (bad stuff)
