Hi everyone, welcome back

Right now, I am using Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and Moisturising lotion for my daily skin needs.

Cleansing your face is the foundation of your skin care routine. Clean skin allows all the rest of the products to do their job more effectively. And ideally, once you’ve found a good facial cleanser, you should stick with it.

Cetaphil skin cleanser feels like a lotion as it deep cleans your complexion to remove impurities without stripping your skin. The hypoallergenic, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic formula is ideal for sensitive skin care, but can be used on all complexions. You can use this ultra gentle daily cleanser each day to maintain a healthy appearance without drying out your face.

If you are trying to keep skin looking young moisturized skin is the way to go! Moisturizing can help give your skin the boost it needs to stay healthy.

Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion enhances the skin natural moisture protection system and helps restore the skin natural protective barrier. Quick absorption and long-lasting hydration of the skin.

Since the day I started using CetaPhil Products, I come to love it. I am happy how it affects my skin, nor scaled it ….

Try this products and you will definitely love your skin even more.

B. Hydrated Hyaluronic Acid Facial Spritz

August 17, 2017 / Analucascardigos / 7 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

Hyaluronic Acid Facial Spriz rapidly replenish the skin and lock in moisture for 12 hours without clogging the pores. Is ideal for use when travelling or to revive tired skin.

I am a huge fan of facial water sprays that help cool you down when it’s hot and don’t make a mess of your make up ….

I found that adding this to my skincare routine, helped my skin stay moisturized throughout the day, as it can be used alone or on top of your makeup as a top up and it leaves the skin looking dewy and moisturized throughout the day. I’ve been using Hyaluronic Acid Facial Spritz for 3 weeks and I’m really happy with the results….

The size of the bottle is perfect for popping into your handbag when you’re on-the-go and the pump-action spray doesn’t dispense too much product with each spritz.

Hyaluronic Acid Facial Spritz is for all skin types ….

This product is amazing! I definitely recommend it.

Thanks 😉

Hi everyone, welcome back

All girls love their lipsticks and accumulate lots of the stuff. I love lipsticks, I have in my collection over 100 lipsticks, I know is a lot but I like to have different brands and one of the ones I really like is from Avon….

The lipstick comes in a simple red package, the formula is creamy and makes application smooth. Keeps lips from feeling dry for 24 hours. Infused with vitamin E and wheat protein. Feels luxurious with a silky satin finish is moisturizing high-definition lipstick .

I have 5 of this lipsticks, and I love them;

Vintage pink
Pink perfection
Cappuccino
Fiery red
Forever pink

I love the texture & finish of Avon Extra Lasting Lipstick, its smooth , buttery and doesn’t move around lip lines.

Hi everyone, welcome back

Beautiful skin is essential for making the most of your looks.Without it, all that carefully apply makeup will either go patchy and blotchy, slide into lines and wrinkles or disappear off your face in a shiny oil mess. the simple true is that most of us don’t have beautiful skin. In fact, we don’t even have so-called ‘normal’ skin, with its plump, shiny texture, radiant glow and minimal breakouts. Instead we have dry bits, oil bits or irritated bits, and that means our skin doesn’t always look or feel as good as it should. But the good news is that you don’t have to put up with this. By knowing what kind of skin you have and how to treat it, you can solve your particular problems.

Tips for oily skin

Only cleanse twice a day.
If shine still slips through, blotting paper is great for mopping up excess oil.
Ensure all your products – even your makeup – are oil free.
if you get painful red spots. a little lavender oil dabbed on the skin will help reduce inflammation in minutes.

Your key products – Foaming cleanser ; Oil free moisturizer; Blotting papers; spot stick ….

Tips for Dry skin

Only cleanse your skin once at the end of the day. This will remove dirty and grime but will prevent further drying, in the morning a splash of water and some moisturizer are all you need.
Exfoliation is essential for dry skin.
Never expose your skin to really hot water, it dries out parched skin.
Never dry your skin completely. One of the best ways to hydrate dry skin is just to pat it with the towel after washing, then apply moisturizer to seal in that extra moisture.

Your key products – Creamy cleanser; Exfoliating scrub; Rich moisturizer; Facial mist; Moisturizing mask.

All the skin care in the world won’t help if you don’t tackle the factors that destroy your skin.

Protect your skin from the sun
Don’t smoke (Is very bad for your skin)
Stress affects the skin in numbers of ways ( try not to stress)
Sleep well
Drink at least 2 liters of water per day

Summer makeup tips

June 21, 2017 / Analucascardigos / 7 Comments

Hi everyone , welcome back

The summer is here in full swing ! The scorching heat and sweat tends to mess up the makeup. Runny mascara, bleeding lipstick, smudged eyeliner! Sounds frustrating right? This is why it is important to follow some simple tips to avoid it from melting down. So, today I bring to you some such ways to keep your makeup last longer ….

Cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin and use a protection sunscreen to help lock the makeup in…..

Priming your skin before you apply your makeup will prevent your blush or foundation from melting off when you spend time under the bright sun. Apply primer to clean skin and allow it to dry before adding foundation or powder. You can also apply your foundation with a dampened makeup sponge to allow it to go on sheer without looking thick and cakey. Use even strokes and allow it to dry before applying powder or a finishing spray for a matte look.

You may opt to use a serum since they are lightweight by nature, and one of the ways to Apply makeup for summer, is to use lighter foundation, preferably powder ones for oily to combo skin and liquid for dry skin. If you put plenty of it, there are chances it would peel off sooner, so be light with your application.

Use light translucent powder this is going to be hit look for summers.
Light shades of bronzer on cheek bones gives you an instant glow.
Use light brown or nude eye shadow to give them a natural look.
Wear sunny bright blush which is going to be easy with your outfits
Colors such as golden green, earthy tones can be used with brown mascara to give that extra edge.
Use water proof make up.
Apply lip balm to protect your lips from the heat and the damage of the sun rays.
You can increase the volume of color,vibrant shades of eye and lips but do not go in shiny and shimmer brigade.
Consider altering with oil free formula during the summer months.

Top 5 tips for using foundation

March 24, 2017August 7, 2017 / Analucascardigos / 6 Comments

Hi everyone , today I’ll talk about foundation….

Applying the foundation flawlessly is not an easy task. To achieve the perfect coverage and a glowing look, there are basic methods of applying foundation.

Top 5 tips

Never test foundation on your hand – it’s always a different colour from your face. Always apply it to your jawline. the right shade for you is he one that disappears into your skin.

if you can’t decide between two foundations shades choose the lighter one, as darker foundations create more obvious tidemarks.

You’re wearing too much foundation if you can’t see any of the pores on your skin. Your natural texture is supposed to show through a little.

If your makeup starts to shine, use blotting paper rather than reapplying powder, which can often start to look too heavy.

Apply moisturizer five minutes before you start your makeup. All bases will go on much smoothly if your skin is well hydrated. Tissue off any excess -while hydrated skin is good for foundation, greasy skin will make it slip and slide.

You can use brush or sponge for applying foundation. For blending it well you can also use the fingers of your hands where you feel need.

Don’t forget to apply foundation on ears & neck for a perfect even skin tone look. You can never neglect the most visible areas around your face.

Hope you like this post , and have a great weekend 😉

Thanks
