It’s true, as we age our
skin completely changes. I actually have
dry skin. I spent years cursing my
oiliness & fretting over it and now like I’ve been smacked in the face, I
see that my skin has totally changed.
Maybe it is my age (approaching 36) or the fact that I’ve had a baby
(hormones are such a bitch) – whatever the reason, my whole routine has had to
slowly change too.
I blogged a week or so
ago about getting a 1) Clarisonic, truly life changing. I swear I’ve not had one clogged pore and my
skin is smoother and SOFTER than it’s ever been. I think I’m totally done with foundation.
I feel like it instantly ages me and it
lasts no longer on me than a fluid tint, BB cream, or tinted moisturizer. I see
now, after spending a fortune throughout my adult life on products and care,
that my skin is pretty good. I’m
sensitive and reddish but things could be SOOO much worse. My current favorites are 2) Edward Bess and
Revision.
3) Luminizer is easy and
the effect is really pretty when done lightly – especially in pictures. I’m using one by Trish McEvoy and it is
amazing how quickly it brightens and lightens the area under the eyes, bridge
of nose (tricky for me bc my nose is not delicate (i.e. it’s big)) and the
cupid’s bow.
4) Blush, in a gel or
cream form, is super easy to apply IF
you have the right brush & instantly you look perkier, more awake, and
brighter. I am using a liquid blush and
brush by Trish.
This might sound like a
lot of stuff but each amount is so small and because all the formulas are so
sheer, light, and easy to work with that you can knock out this entire look in
5 mins. The result is really plumped, smooth,
glowy, and I’ll admit it, radiant skin.
*Look for follow up with
product details next week! Until then
TGIF.
