3 Tips to Keep Your Skin Fresh in Winter

Winter time can be tough on skin. With the cold weather, dry climate, and harsh weather, it can confuse your skin and mess up your pretty face! It’s important to take extra care during the winter months to baby your skin so it remains at its best. Here are 3 tips to keep you skin fresh in winter!

Moisturize

Winter can be very drying on your skin so make sure to moisturize! A great option for your beautiful face is the Maskcara Milk Moisturizer. Oh my goodness. Never have I met a better concoction for my face! It soothes, heals, and moisturizes like no other! Another great option for your face or your entire body is simple coconut oil! Coconut oil makes such a great natural, cheap, and easy moisturizer. Trust me…your skin will thank me.

Drink Lots of Water

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! I’m actually really bad at this so this is a great reminder for me to drink up! Drinking lots of water can help your skin feel great and look great!

Exfoliate

Our skin collects product buildup and dead skin cells so it’s crucial that we slough off all that grim and exfoliate often! Make sure to choose an option that isn’t too rough on your skin. You want it to gently exfoliate, not scratch and damage your face.  This is a great option that your skin will love! Or, you can make a simple recipe with ingredients from your kitchen. I love simplicity, so this is my fave!

With these simple steps, you can keep your skin fresh in winter!

Makeup Tips for Mature Skin

Just because you have mature skin doesn’t mean you can’t look and feel beautiful! As our skin ages, it loses its elasticity and moves around a little more freely. So, there are some tricks that can help you apply makeup a little easier. We’re showing you some makeup tips for mature skin and how you can feel your best!

Moisturize

Aged skin can become dry. It’s important to moisturize your beautiful skin so it can be healthy and ready for makeup application! Milk is a perfect moisturizer to get your skin looking and feeling good!

Stipple/Pat Makeup On

I think it’s a natural instinct to wipe our makeup in a swiping and brushing motion. But with mature skin, it’s better to apply your foundation in a stippling or patting motion. You want to dab that product into your skin and not wipe.

Perfector Sponge

Use the Perfector Sponge to blend any excess makeup and to make sure there isn’t makeup setting into the wrinkles on your face. The sponge will allow the makeup to nicely sink in and lay on your skin.

Eyeshadows

Mature skin may have some wrinkling around the eye area. When choosing eyeshadow shades, it’s important to stick to mostly matte colors. Shimmer shadows can accentuate wrinkles, and we don’t want that! Also, apply the eyeshadow by pressing and tapping onto the eyelid. The skin around the eye area can move easily and this technique will help the color stay where you place it.

Brows

An important step is to fill in those beautiful brows! After years of tweezing or the eyebrow hairs just simply falling out, you want to give the fading brows a nice little lift. Our brows frame our face and we want to make sure they have a nice shape and definition. If you want to learn more about your brow care, click here!

Putting makeup on mature skin shouldn’t be intimidating! With these simple steps, you can easily look and feel beautiful!
