What makes your skin age? What affect the skin??.. How to get rid of those lines, spots and dullness??

Babies have the quality of youth skin!

      Babies always have smooth and soft skin that is wrinkle-free and moist. Over time...harsh elements in the environment wear on the skin making it dryer and rougher. UVA and UVB radiation from sunlight thin the epidermis which is the outermost layer of skin. They also contribute to a faster breakdown of collagen in the dermis which is the middle layer of skin. Slowly... lines, wrinkles, spots, dullness and sagging appear as the results of aging process,, Good Skin Care can slow down the harmful effects of time and the environment.

       Good skin care requires a lot of effort. A regime of cleanse, treat, moisturize and protect should be followed everyday in order to be effective. Cleansing is essential to remove dirt and dead skin cells. It helps to prevent pimples or acne. Cleansing, however, can dry out the skin. Cleansing removes the oil on the skin, which retains moisture. As a result moisturizers are needed to restore water to the skin and protect the skin. Avoiding exposure to the sun and tanning is ideal to prevent the harmful effects of radiation. Application of sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 15 is helpful as well. Smoking should be avoided. A healthy diet is beneficial in improving the elasticity of the skin. Drinking water is essential to good skin care. Water helps the body function better. It also cleans the pores from the inside. It re-hydrates the skin, which helps the skin stay moist. Keeping good habits in addition to good skin care will help the skin age gracefully and beautifully.

Beautiful makeup application comes from healthy skin!!

Before every makeup application, I usually spend a good amount of time to prep my client's skin.

The better the skin the less makeup you'll need, and the better you'll look.

Once the canvas is perfected flawlessly there is less need for eye and lip make-up. A radiant glow is considered much more attractive than an over made-up face.
