Winter challenges
our skin more than any other season. The biggest problem is that our skin will
tend to be more dry in our hands, body and especially the face. I’m going
to show you how to give your skin some extra attention that it deserves, even if you don't your dry skin will be a constant reminder!
The
indoor heat along with the cold outdoor temperature makes your skin drier,
no matter what your skin type is.
Learning
proper products and techniques to ensure that you give your face the
proper attention to avoid or at least minimize the problem.
Cleansers to suggest if you have
Dry
skin:Use
a facial serum or oil under a thicker-formula moisturizer.
Oily Skin:Use an oil-free serum and oil-free moisturizer.
Combination skin:Use oil-free products on the T‑zone and a thicker moisturizer
on the cheeks, which get drier in the wintertime. (including almond, jojoba, or
avocado oil) that don’t clog the pores.
If you have dry skin, you
must avoid water as much as you can; take short showers, and wash your face
with cleansing milk. Everyone should drink more water (or hot green tea) in
the wintertime. Many times dry skin gets
flakes on the eyelids and cheeks and around the lip area. The best way to get
rid of them is to exfoliate the skin right after showering, when the skin is
still soft. Always remember to apply moisturizer! This incudes your face and body.
* Tip* You can use the same method on superdry lips:
exfoliate your lips and the skin around them with an exfoliating cream or lip
scrub (many cosmetic manufacturers make lip spa products with scrubs and
various kind of balms and sealing creams).
Use a humidifier to add
moisture to your indoor space if you have to use drying central heating. Put
one in your bedroom, and you will notice the difference in your skin in the
morning, especially when using face serum and night cream. Your skin will be
softer and moister.
Face / Base
Slightly richer
foundations are better because there is more to cover on your skin in the winter (uneven areas on the nose, cheeks, and eyelids).
· You must use
SPF/UVA/UVB protection all year round. The sun that reflects from the snow is
as strong as the sun that reflects from water. So choose a day cream with at
least SPF 15, or a foundation with SPF.
· Powder is needed
all over the face for oily skin. Those with combination and dry skin should use
powder on the T‑area only to set the base. If your skin is dry and flaky, don’t
use any base product, just a face oil and your protecting SPF 15 face cream Colour Choice
Apply warmer pastel tones, if youhave fair skin its better to go a little bit deeper, for example, if you like baby pink lips and you have fair skin, go for a deeper pink lip.Fair skin and pastel colours will make you look wash out.Pastel colours look better on medium to tan skin
Eyes
· Cream eyeshadows are good for the winter season
Depending where
you live, but if you’re in climates that snow and rain a lot during the winter
time, use water-proof/water resistant eye liners and mascara to avoid any
makeup disasters. If you wear regular mascara, going in and out of different
temperatures will make your mascara run.
· Waterproof cream
liners are great because its more moisturizing and will stay in place.
· Trick : use your waterproof
mascara as a liner if you can't find your liner
Cheeks / Blush
· Blush is a key item to the
winter makeup look. It really gives some color to your skin and wakes up your
whole face.
· I like using creams or makeup stains because
it gives my skin colour but it’s also moisturizing, The color of your blush is
completely your own choice, again, if you have a cool-tone look, use pink. Warm
tone, it can be peach, warm sand, or terracotta. The only colour I would leave
out are bronzes ( orangy ). They really don’t look great in winter unless its
for shading/contour.
· Lips
· Cracked lips are the number
one problem in winter. If your lips are superdry, skip lipsticks with matte
finishes or lip stains, which can be very drying for the lips. Even before lip
application, always remember to moisturize your lips with lip balm.
· Make sure the balm has SPF and UVA/UVB
protection.
· Exfoliate your lips
regularly throughout the cold months. That way you will get rid of the dry
flakes on the surface of your lips. You can use your face exfoliator and gently
in a circular motion remove and dead skin on your lips.

It’s true what they
say,” Brows frame the face” it’s the starting point of the face! Women make 3
common mistakes over plucking, wrong shape and wrong colour! Today, I’m going
to show you how to create that perfect brow that work best for you.
Most
people do not realize it, but the human eye constantly seeks out balance. Having properly shaped eyebrows add this
balance to the face. A fuller, symmetrical brow will instantly lift the face
and add a more youthful appearance to your entire aesthetic.
Methods of Grooming – wax, threading, tweezers
Tweezers
·
Invest in a good
tweezers, expensive tweezers aren’t necessarily better tweezers.
·Good tweezers are important for precisely shaping
your brows. If the quality of your tweezers is poor, or they are misaligned,
they will not be able to pull the hair at the root. Your brows will grow in
more quickly and will look far less polished. This is also an issue with
"pain-free" tweezers. These instruments actually sheer the hair,
instead of plucking it. While it may hurt a little less in the moment, your
brows grow in thicker and faster than with a pair of premium, calibrated
tweezers with a slanted tip.
TIPS FOR TWEEZING PAIN FREE
·Before
you begin the tweezing process it is recommended to wrap an ice cube into a
paper towel and slightly rub your eyebrows with it. This will gradually numb
the critical area, making the tweezing easier and more painless.
·You
can use this trick also after you finished, it will perfectly reduce the
redness and the possible inflammation.
·Alcohol
can also have a soothing effect. Apply it to the eyebrows right before and
while the tweezing lasts. If you feel that the tweezing is still painful, you
might try to do it gradually.
·Pluck
one hair at a time, don't rush, give yourself a few second to sooth. Then
quickly wipe the brows again with the alcohol.
·OR
tweeze after taking a bath. The steam will efficiently dilate the pores,
which eases the plucking process. If the hair will come out more quickly and
without any extra effort, the tweezing will seem less painful
How to find your
shape
.
Determine
your eye set ( close, far, normal etc ) Eye set is recognized by measuring your eye from the
inner to outer corner. If your measurement is 7 cm and the distance
between your two eyes is also the same, this means you have normal set
eyes. If it is more, then you have wide set eyes and if it is less you it
is close set eyes. Or use the 3rd eye in the middle
SpacingRecognizing your eye set will help as a starting
point for the best fit eyebrow shape. If you have close set eyes, shaping
will require more space between your eyebrows. The brows should begin a
little past the inner eye to give the illusion of a normal eye set. If you
have wide set eyes, then you should not over pluck in between your brows,
less space will better suit your face.
Shaping The eyebrow arch starts from your pupil and gradually
goes up and then down towards the end. The arch shape depends on your bone
structure.
There
are many different shapes of eyebrows
·Rounded shaped
eyebrows soften features.
·Soft angle eyebrows,
the most preferred shape, is arched and feminine.
·Angled eyebrows have
a high arch and work well to mask droopy eyelids. It gives you a more youthful
look.
·Straight eyebrows
work best for those with a longer face shape face. Straight eyebrows make their
face appear shorter and oval.
Finding your Colour and
the Right Product for you.
There are kits nowadays, brunettes,
blondes, auburn etc. which comes with everything which is great! Avoid black, if anything, dark brown should
be the darkest shade. Try matching it closest to your hair. With blondes, I like to pick an ashy light
brown with a hint of green, taupe. It looks more natural than going with a
light brown
Brow
Gel
·
Looks
like a mascara, but has a tint of colour and different finish
·
Applies
like a mascara but on the brow hairs, positions the hairs so it doesn’t move
·
Great
for women with full eyebrows that don’t need to fill in their brows with
colour more so to tame them
·
On
the go access, takes seconds to apply.
Pencil/Gel
·
Creates
a more dramatic look and shaper looking eye brow, comes in water proof which is
great comes in limited colour but the basics
·
Convenient,
comes in a pencil so its just “ drawing”
Powder
·
Creates
a softer looking brow
·
More
natural looking
·
There
are brow kits that comes in blondes,brunettes, etc, but can easily be replaced
or colour matched best with just regular eye shadow
·
Needs
to be applied with an angle brush for precision
