How I'd love the opportunity for make-up better than Cover Girl or Maybeline! So I'm entering this contest from the Crazy Hip Blog Mamas. Having grown up with too much acne and trips to the dermatologist, I learned a few things.
5 makeup & beauty hints:
1. Water, water, water! Drinking water, lots of it, is the best thing for your skin. When I started to really increase my water in high school, my face got to be so much clearer. It's so cleansing. Drink up that water!
2. Use that sunblock! What I've been told time & again is SPF 15, at least. Keeping some light sunblock on your face (hypoallergenic, of course) will keep those harmful rays off, as well prevent over-drying and decrease the chance of wrinkles.
3. This goes well with #2-moisturize! Lucky for us, many moisturizers are available with SPF 15 in them.. ;) Moisturizing keeps that skin fresh and not too tight or tense. Night time is a good time, since you're cleaned up and sleeping for a few hours.
4. This is a no-brainer, but wash your face each night! Even if it's just with warm water only. I am so guilty of this lately. I get too tired, or fall asleep on the couch, and then I stumble upstairs and just climb into bed. Gross, isn't it? And my face pays the price the most.
5. Change your makeup frequently. At least the makeup application pads you use. Those retain bacteria so easily...yuck. The pad hold bacteria, and then you put that all over your face.
