Tips for keeping your skin beautiful

Always wear a sunscreen. Exposure to sun is the number one cause of ageing. We all love the sun but it does not love us. Always wear protection on your face plus sunglasses, and a hat in the summer. Just walking to your car, sitting by a window, or driving around in your car will give you unnecessary sun damage. MY ADVICE IS TO ALWAYS WEAR A GOOD SUNSREEN with UVA PROTECTION SPF 15 and above. Don't forget to also protect your hands with SPF 15.

Tip for cleansing

Cleanse deep by applying a warm face cloth to your skin and hold for 15 seconds. The warm cloth will relax and soften pores so oils and dirt are easily removed.

Tip for lips

Define your lip line. Extend your lip line just a bit outside your natural lip line, this will make the lips look bigger. Be sure to match the lip liner colour to your lipstick or gloss. Lip liner that does not blend with lipstick or gloss, does not look sexy. The colour Spice from Mac is one of my favourite natural colour lip liners. You will also make your lips look bigger using lighter coloured lipstick and lip gloss (lighter colours are also best for making teeth look whiter) Try a touch of lip gloss which will reflect light, making lips appear larger.

Another tip for lips.

Just add a bit of foundation to the outer edge of your lips,then a tiny bit of powder, then your lipstick, and it will stay looking good longer.

Tips for a perfect finish

Be careful not to apply too many different layers of silicone based products, from foundations to wrinkle fillers. You don't want it to start piling it on to your skin because the different layers are repelling rather than complementing each other.

Keep everything moisture based to help skin look dewy in the spring and summer. Switch from a foundation to a tinted moisturiser if your skin is good.

Each cosmetic line has their own treasures. I do not believe there is one brand out there that makes the best of everything.
