A Scary Skin Nightmare: Halloween Makeup!

Protect your skin from a fearful night of fun. Halloween is such a fun time to play with makeup. But we all know that store-bought paint that wins contests can kill your skin. Here are some tips from us to ensure your skin survives fright night and beyond!


  1. Make sure you have a solid moisture barrier and fully prepped skin to avoid the elements. We suggest a moisturizing layer like Super Emollient Crème or lighter weight Marine Hydration Crème BEFORE you create your masterpiece. These products will help create a barrier to the elements you will encounter from the makeup and environmental elements. They will also help protect your pores from the less than optimal ingredients in Halloween makeup.


  2. When you get home, no matter how tired you are, or how late it is: WASH YOUR FACE (gently). This is not the time to use harsh chemical-based products, washcloths, or tools with additional exfoliating properties. You want to slowly and gently remove the makeup in stages if necessary so as not to strip away the good oils in your skin. We recommend our AHA/BHA Citrus Cleanser or – even – better -  a double cleanse first with Moor Lavender Cleanser for drier skins or Green Tea Cleanser followed by another gentle cleanse with AHA/BHA.


  3. Be sure to add a layer of moisture that includes reparative elements – an application of Hyaluronic Acid Serum comes to mind, to help bind in moisture, followed by Hydro Collagen Serum. For very dry or mature skin types, Renewal or Marine Silk is just the serum you need to give your skin all of the nutrients and antioxidants it craves.


  4. Finish up with a final moisture application to help protect, restore, and rejuvenate your skin.




Stress

We all know stress can wreak havoc on your skin. So as the holidays near, let’s plan to help prevent stressed skin syndrome as effectively as possible!


1.  Cleanse - twice a day. A gentle and mild cleanser works best when you are stressed. Green Tea Cleanser is mild and gentle enough for sensitive skin. Rosehip Seed Cleanser effectively targets oily and blemish prone skin gently, cleansing pores without stripping.


2.  Treat with the right serum. The active ingredients in serums and their lower molecular weight penetrate the skin efficiently to target specific conditions.  Hydro Collagen Serum is appropriate for most skin types and conditions, Multi Fruit Hydration Gel or Herbal Complex Serum for oily/blemish prone, Marine Silk and Renewal Serum for mature and dehydrated skin.  Gently pat the serum onto the skin and smooth in using an upward and outward motion.


3.  Make sure you get nutrients into your body! A healthy body can take better care of your skin and make it appear less stressed!
