|| Glow On! ||

May 29, 2012

Have you wondered why you can’t manage to get that smooth radiant look after trying TONS of primers and foundations? Did it ever cross your mind that maybe it’s not the “type” of foundation you are using but what you are doing underneath your face makeup?  I had this issue for a while until our Beauty Editor Tim Liu introduced me to a variety of different skin care products to apply underneath my makeup and use daily.  Knowing great SPF’s, creams, and cleansers are just as crucial as picking the right heels to complete your outfit…knowledge is power ladies…knowledge is power.  So “Glow On” and try these high performance products and you will be on your way to healthy vibrant skin.

1. Hourglass – No 28 Primer Serum:  Caution: oily skin stay away! This is for those who have dry to combination skin. With its 14 essential oils and 10 plant oils, it gives you the perfect dewy finish after you apply foundation over it. It’s a look that gives your skin the effortless healthy glow!

2. Clinique – Turn Around Serum:  Your all in one serum. This is advertised as a serum to give the skin a brighter look, but it does so much more than that! It contains salicylic acid and lactic acid to not only exfoliates the skin am/pm but also effectively treats and prevents acne! This is a definite must have!

3. DiorSnow SPF 50: Yes, you be nice and tanned, but do it with your makeup! Let your skin stay out of the sun to prevent premature aging. Using an SPF 15 is probably not enough for your daily sun exposure. I recommend the DiorSnow SPF 50 for your daily protection, it’s a sunscreen with antioxidant benefits, makes a perfect daytime moisturizer as well.

4. Exuviance – Perfomance Peel AP25: Stay away from the granulated scrubs, they aren’t the best for your skin, instead try this peel once every 4 days to remove dead skin and take away unevenness in skin texture and color. This triple threat of Glycolic acid, Mandelic acid and Gluconolactone works wonders! AMAZING for fine lines and acne scars!

5. Shiseido – White Lucent Cleanser: This is a great daily cleanser, it not only removes all your impurities but also has a brightening effect to give the skin a brighter and lighter look along with its natural luminosity.
