For all day lip color, skip lipstick all together and go for a lip pencil.  The lip pencil has the ability to “stain” the lips far longer than ordinary lipstick.  After applying a great lip pencil shade to your lips, use a gloss or lip balm on top for moisture.  Lip pencils outlast lipstick by almost double the time.  And lip pencils are generally less expensive than lipsticks.  Go buy a handful of lip pencils and experiment on your lips.

“I make sure to wash my face every night before I go to bed. I’ve been using eye cream since I was 19, and moisturizer. I can’t get out of the shower without fully lathering my whole face and body with moisturizer.”  Minka Kelly on her skincare routine.

Before throwing out expensive mineral makeup because you think it irritates your skin, try using a different brush first.  Many times it’s makeup  brushes that causes your face sensitivity and itchiness as opposed to the makeup itself.  Because synthetic hair brushes tend to cause irritation and even tiny abrasions to tender facial skin, opt to go with an all natural brush.  You’ll feel the difference immediately.  Eco-Tools makes inexpensive high quality, all natural brushes that are, of course, eco-friendly.  Love that!

The cardinal sin of skincare is sleeping with your makeup on.  No matter how tired you are, wash your face before bed.   Your skin collects pore-clogging oil during the day.  According to a study in the American Journal of Epidemiology, there’s also a link between air pollution and skin bumps…especially if you live in high pollution areas, like Los Angeles, Chicago and Cincinnati.

Get yourself into a good skincare routine.  It really only takes two minutes before bed to cleanse, tone and moisturize.  Don’t have a skincare regime yet?  Try Supernatural Botanicals Skincare System.

Get rid of the end-of-winter skin with a facial mask you can whip up in your own kitchen.  Honey is ultra-moisturizing to the skin, and gently exfoliates the skin to create a fresh glow. 

It’s simple to make.  Simply mix 1 teaspoon of honey with 2 tablespoons of milk and heat it in the microwave for 15 seconds to melt the honey. Apply on to face, let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes, wash with warm water and apply a good moisturizer.  The honey will mosturize and soften the dry skin area.   Using it for an extensive time period can actually slightly whiten skin color.

• Never pull or drag the skin around the eyes when applying or removing makeup. 
• Use bare minumum of products on your eyes, and stick to natural products. 
• Never use toner on your eyes; splash eyes with cold water post cleansing.
• Don’t use an excessive amount of rich creams around the eye area. 
• Go for the flattering eyebrow shape by removing stray hairs below the brow line. 
• Cold milk will keep you eyes bright.  Apply to eyelids with a clean cotton prepped and draped. 
• Always wear sunglasses in bright sun.
• Get plenty of rest and eat healthfully.
• Don’t smoke. 

When washing your face, you should cleanse your face for at least one full minute.   Taking additional time to cleanse properly reduces surface oil and debris.  Sebum is really the enemy of healthy skin; if allowed to accumulate, it clogs pores and causes blackheads and acne.
