As I’m in the beauty industry, appearance is everything, which means, makeup at all times. When I was younger around the age 12-18 years old I wouldn’t leave the house without it. My mum would ask me to run into the shops to grab something small but I wouldn’t go lol.
Being so young and like most young girls I was obviously very insecure. Makeup up made me feel glamorous and covered any imperfections that I had at the time, which was all the time.
Constantly seeing all the celebrities in the magazines looking so flawless all the time is and was hard to keep up with :). Until this day for my job I wear makeup. Finally at 25 years old I am ALMOST completely comfortable wearing no makeup BUT just not at work :)
For all of you out there reading this you probably love to wear makeup and as you know if you’re someone that wears makeup, caring for your skin is a MUST. Caring for your skin comes in all different forms. Drinking water, eating a healthy balanced diet, cleansing, toning, moisturizing exfoliating & so much more!!!
I’ve always said if you’re going to be someone who wears makeup you have to be clean at it. Meaning: removing your makeup EVERYDAY NO EXCUSES! And making sure your clean your brushes! And PLEASE GIRLS PLEASE I can’t stress this enough, if you’re going to remove your makeup don’t do a half job, do it properly and you should have no issue with your skin drying out, breaking out etc! I have people constantly telling me “ohh makeup is bad for your skin” Yes, makeup does have chemicals in it etc, but removing this properly everyday and going to sleep with and clean face and giving your skin breaks from makeup is fine.
Point to this blog is for anyone out there, not knowing how to remove their makeup properly or not knowing what products are best for your skin :)
There are only really two types of cleansers in life…. A milk cleanser or a foam cleanser.
A milk cleanser is light creamy lotion and needs no water (only to remove)
A foam cleanser will need a small amount of water to foam up and will need water to remove.
There are many types of milk cleansers in the beauty industry, depending on what brand you’re currently using, most will stock a milk cleanser. I like milk cleansers because I feel really hydrated after I wash my face, instead of feeling tight and stripped of all my natural oils when using a foaming cleanser. In saying that a big percentage of people love foaming cleansers because foaming cleanser usually removes any unwanted makeup or dirt in one go, milk cleanser you will need to usually cleanse twice to remove makeup, once if just cleansing :)
For four years now I have been using a brand called Biolone that we used to stock at our salon. I was using in this range, a milk cleanser, tonic (toner) and a hydrating moisturizer. Recently my sister has moved on from this particular skin care range and moved or to a more natural products/range called Repechage.
Currently I’m using the Bioline milk cleanser, Repechage serum (before moisturizer) & Repechage moisturizing day cream. I never use products from the supermarket BUT If I am really desperate, I don’t mind Nivea refreshing cleansing lotion.
