How to Prepare Your Skin for a Flawless Makeup Application

A flawless, clean, look is something that all women strive for. It can depend on multiple factors: a good foundation brush, application technique, etc. But the most important condition is clear, hydrated, and nourished skin. A proper regimen is important in order to prepare your skin for the weight of makeup that it encounters almost every day. So here are some tips for those of you who want to perfect your makeup application, and improve your daily skincare routine.

Try a Cleansing Formula With Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid is an organic, carbon-containing molecule that has many benefits for the dermis. Because of its effective skin-renewing properties, it is often used in anti-aging products. It can help smooth fine wrinkles and improve the skin’s tone and texture. Its range of problem-solving, from aging to acne, makes it an amazing ally to have in your skincare arsenal. This is why we chose it as the base for our Purifying Toner. Its cleansing properties are the perfect way to start improving your skincare routine.

Skincare Tip: If you have already been using acids over the past few years – you will have built up a tolerance, so your skin can stand stronger acids on a more regular basis. If you are happy using glycolic acid, try a 10% formula for daily use, or a 30% once or twice a week.

Refine Your Skin’s Surface With an Exfoliant

A gentle exfoliant should definitely be a part of your weekly routine. Once or twice a week, you should use a product such as our Purifying Facial Peel to remove the excess skin cells and introduce the younger layer of the dermis to the surface. Exfoliating on a regular basis causes fewer lines and wrinkles, smoother, brighter skin, and a more even complexion.

Include a Mask in Your Weekly Skincare Routine

By treating your skin with a nourishing mask at least once a week, you can encourage smooth, clear dermis, and hydrate the deep layers of the skin. If you are looking to prevent early signs of aging, try adding a collagen-based mask to the mixture. We created our Deep Collagen Care Mask specifically for this kind of treatment – to nourish, hydrate, and eventually remove fine lines and wrinkles.

Try a Moisturizing Formula with Glycerin

Glycerin is a type of moisturizing agent that has the ability to pull water. In skincare, glycerin is commonly used to trap the moisture that it draws into the skin. As a dermatological medication, it is used to treat or prevent dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin, and minor irritations. Our Purifying Triple Power Collagen Moisturizer harnesses this extremely beneficial ingredient to provide the needed nourishment and prepare your skin for the daily difficulties it encounters.
