Ladies, are you looking to achieve an effortless, natural look with amazing skin? As your beauty advisor, let me inform that the three-step routine was the standard for clear complexion in skincare. This standard is so yesterday, in today’s beauty world the new skincare routine consists of: cleaner, toner, eye cream, brightener, day cream, night cream, exfoliation, mask, and makeup remover.

Don’t be alarmed by the new eight step regimen, let’s take it step by step:

Step one: you’ll begin with an eye makeup remover.

Step two: cleaning, to remove makeup, dirt, and excess oil.

Step three: toner, completes the cleaning process and balances skin’s ph.

Step four: eye cream, because the skin around the eye area is the first place aging appears, an eye cream is essential for every skincare routine.

Step five: brightener, to keep your luminosity, help prevent and repair discoloration and signs of aging.

Step six: daytime moisturizer with SPF 15, protects against sun damage and free radicals. Then at night use a night recovery moisturizer, an overnight renewal to boost skin’s collagen and elastin.

Step seven: mask, this step is done 2/3 times a week, it’s done after cleanser. If your skin is combination-to-oily the mask unclogs & helps control oil. If your skin is normal-to-dry the mask will immediately boost skin’s moisture and maintain hydration.

Step eight: exfoliation, rejuvenates dull looking skin for smoother, softer, and radiance skin! Again this step is done 2/3 times a week. Keep in mind this step is done after cleanser, also step 7 and 8 are done on separate days of the week.

Beauty tip: I recommend to use on a quarterly basis, as seasons change, to help skin boost its ability to repair past damage, an intensive repair serum!

Any beauty consultant know that the truth is, it take a lot of steps to look flawless!

Ladies, what is the role of makeup in your personal and professional life? As a beauty advisor, i have discover that some women feel more confident when wearing makeup. I think makeup allows women to transform themselves not only how they’re perceived but how they feel.

Therefore, wearing makeup but not gobs of Gaga conspicuous makeup apparently increase people’s perceptions of a woman’s like-ability, her competence, and her trustworthiness. The beauty of makeup is to enhance your natural beauty.

The essence of true beauty is lost when a woman gets all doll up to please men or because society demands it. You will gain more respect, trust, and affection from people when inner beauty, (self esteem) and your outer beauty (makeup) are aligned.
