Skincare Products

Who wouldn’t want to save time these days? So, would a cleanser with an exfoliant be a super duo, just like a moisturizer with an SPF?

I think I’ve mentioned my allergy to sunless tanners before - and I’ve made the same mistake several times over by trying different types of sunless tanners, thinking that my skin might accept one better than the other. I eventually figured out that I was allergic to the dye ingredient - dihydroxyacetone - and that was that. No more sunless tanners for me.

If you have dry, flaky skin then sure - give it a go - but most of us might not know that a moisturizer isn’t a quick fix for every "dry" skin issue and, sometimes, these products can make things worse. Putting moisturizer on the soles of your feet is a prime example, as is adding a dab or two to your scalp, above or between your eyebrows and next to your nose.

But say you have an upcoming event (I can name a few on my calendar) in a few weeks, and you want to make sure you’re looking your best. Why not start with your skin? And start now?

First, define.

Define your skin - is it dry, oily, combination, or normal? Choosing products that are right for your skin type is the first step in creating a regimen that is perfectly suited for your pores.

Adopt a daily routine.
