A soft, smooth and supple skin can take your confidence to that height you were dreaming for. A natural glow on your skin comes with proper care of your skin. Skin products available in the market take away the natural oil from your skin and make it dull and dry.
A moisturizing will protect your skin from moisture loss, helping to keep it soft, smooth and supple. It will also protect your skin from the penetration of grime, chemicals and bacteria. We all need moisturizers, even those of us with the most oily skin, but obviously it's important to choose the correct one for your skin type.
Apply moisturizer to your skin while it is still slightly damp from balancing. This enhances the moisturizing effect. Spread it gently, first on to your neck then up on to your face being careful not to drag the skin - particularly around the delicate eye area.
Make sure you use moisturizer with vegetable oil base. Mineral oil is not compatible with skin so baby lotion and petroleum jelly products are therefore best avoided

2. I apply toner am/pm " Balancing Act N/D" is the best toner ever
3. I use a serum like moisturizer so it will grow new cells and produce collagen "Cell Enhancer" I can't live with out it
4. Last I use a good moisturizer with solar protection " Anti-aging" is so light is amazing
5. once a week I exfoliate my skin with "Microdermabrasion Scrub" pm it has so small beads I love it
all of the products I use are from VB Cosmetics they are the best!!!! they may be pricey but they're not expensive for the results you'll get they are well worth it

The chickpea powder absorbs the extra oil and the milk nourishes your skin, leaving it tingling fresh.
If you really want that airbrushed look, use a foundation brush. Using your finger doesn't give you even coverage and can leave you with blotchy spots. Using a sponge will give you better coverage, but the sponge absorbs half the make-up; that's money down the toilet. With a brush you're getting even coverage and you can easily clean the brush with your face cleaner, so you don't carry anything from day to day. Shop around and find what works best.
And always work with a clean palette!

Cleaning and caring for the inside is just as important as the outside, maybe even more. If your body is filled with healthy nutrients, it has nicer tools to use when it makes your new skin cells. Eat more fruits and vegetables that are darker and more colorful; they have more vitamins in them. Vitamin A maintains and repairs skin tissues. Vitamins C and E act as antioxidants and protect the skin from the sun's ultraviolet rays and pollution.
Care for your skin by indulging in moisturizing and nourishing routines. Cleanse the skin with cold creams followed by alcohol free skin fresheners. Moisturize the skin while it is damp to get the best results. Make your own effective moisturizer by blending together three- fourth cup rose water, quarter teaspoon each of honey and glycerin and a teaspoon of vinegar. Use this mixture regularly after cleansing. Make a face mask with mashed banana and vegetable oil. Apply this paste and rinse after a while. This will help nourish the skin and relieve dryness. Some other aspects that will help keep skin moist and supple are avoiding going out in the sun without protection, using Luke- warm and not hot water for bathing and using alcohol free skin products and buying oil or cream based skin care products.

Yes, you can apply concealer over foundation Set your foundation with a light dusting of powder. Choose the shade of your foundation carefully. When testing shades, pick one that matches the tone of your jawline exactly.Begin by applying a small amount of foundation then increase amount to achieve the degree of coverage that suits your skin.

Thank You so much for the wonderful advice. It worked instantly!!!!
This is a fantastic list of skincare tips!
I don’t always get my 7-8 hours of sleep and am a firm believer in taking short naps (if possible). I would imagine that eating well goes along with the keeping hydrated tip. Apples and fresh fruit in general are wonderful ways to keep hydrated and give yourself some skin-friendly nutrients. In the mid-pm when I am having low energy a piece of fresh fruit really helps!
Verseo Total CoverUp conceals everything from blemishes to acne and age spots to birthmarks. It covers them with its oil-free, creamy formula and you won't even know you're wearing makeup - best of all, nobody else will either. You'll find that it blends perfectly with your skin
Avoid excessive sun exposure. Excessive sun exposure is more likely to cause a burn, and if you are taking antibiotics or a topical prescribed by a dermatologist, odds are you will be more sensitive to the sun.
use natural water based products, get a good gentle routine and dont irritate your skin with harsh products or too much scrubbing. dont use towels or flannels on your skin.
drink lots of water, excersize , eat your 5 a day. no junk food ! also, keep your hair and hair products off your face. you could also try those skin , hair and nails supplements or the herbal skin remedy tablets.
There are some things or acts that may worsen acne. Don’t irritate your skin with too much chemicals. Its sensitive as it is and you should not make it worse. Wash you face twice daily to remove off excess oils
waw sounds very cool, and very inexpensive
FOR BLEMISHES ON THE FACE Rub in some coconut oil before going to bed. Wash well in the morning. Repeat for 15 days.

Blemishes arise when the skin's sebaceous glands makes excess oil and clog the pores.
The lemon juice treatment is easy, just squeeze the juice of a 1-2 lemons into a bowl and using a cotton ball, rub the juice all over your face and other places (like the tops of your hands) that have dark spots. Leave on for 15-20 min and rise off. Follow with a good moisturizer and sun screen. It’s best to do this at night before going to bed – in that case skip the sun screen.
Skin Milk is a great product line that uses the vitamins for milk within your daily routine. By including all of the vitamins that you would normally drink (A, D, E), it creates a nourishment for your skin which will allow for a healthy glow!
The best homemade facial mask that I have used is a raw egg yolk. just apply the raw yolk to your face and neck for 30 minutes and rinse with cool water. Egg yolks are high in vitamin A. The mask is very effective in healing blemishes.
To maintain youthful skin, around 2.5 liters of water a day should be sufficient.
Wow, thanks for the tips!!
Lemon also works great for blemishes left behind by pimples. It stings but it works!
Vitamin A is a very good vitamin for healthy skin. It helps strengthen the skin and repair tissues. It can be taken in foods, as a supplement or as a topical cream. Vitamin A can help prevent dry skin and acne. It can also be used to treat wrinkles
Improper skin care products can cause irritation to your skin. These include any products that can block oil pores
There is no magical way to get flawless skin, even the people you see in movies and ads have been airbrushed many times for perfection. The best thing you can do for healthy skin is eating a good diet, lots of fruits and veggies, and drinking lots of water. Put moisturizer (kind of like lotion for your face) on your acne. Don't go to tanning salons - you may look ok now, but later that tan will give you sun spots, wrinkles, cancer, and gross marks on your face. You can ask your doctor or go to a skin specialist (called a dermatologist) for a special medication that won't dry out your face, maybe something stronger than what you have been using. Wash your face 1-2 times a day, don't use too much face makeup, and when you do look for products with "non-cogmengenic" labels which won't clog your pores. Resist touching or picking whatever acne you have, and make it a habit to not touch your face at all. Not only will it help with clearing up your skin, but it will help with not spreading diseases and sicknesses.
