A beautiful complexion is something every woman on the planet desires,
but most believe that only your DNA determines how good your skin can look. In
other words, some people are just lucky they have nice skin.
That's a myth because anyone can develop a clear, smooth and radiant complexion
by following a few simple rules added to their beauty routine.
Better skin means that cosmetics will glide on easier and appear more luminous.
That is why a lot of makeup artists recommend getting your face "in
shape" before a huge day or event like your wedding.
Makeup artist weddings have become a modern trend that ensures a pampered,
gorgeous face for the bride without the stress that tying the knot can involve.
Exfoliation
Getting rid of dead, old skin cells that have accumulated is a key step to
lovelier skin. This action stimulates the skin deep below the top layer to
create more collagen for thicker, healthier skin that attracts moisture.
Exfoliation can be done manually with a facial brush or facial sponge, and
there are plenty of cleansers containing exfoliating formulas. Some of these
include tiny microbeads that scrub away your skin's impurities and rev the
circulation.
There are also deep exfoliators like chemical peels and facials. When performed
at a spa or dermatologist's office, these exfoliating products and techniques
can successfully target acne scarring, wrinkles and significant sun damage.
Retinol
Applying the proper topical skin care products can make a major difference in
dramatically improving your complexion with event makeup. You don't want to irritate the skin
with a powerful formula, so skin care experts always advise proceeding slowly
to give your face and neck time to respond and get used to a new routine.
If you're planning a walk down the aisle, give your complexion a few months for
your topical treatments to begin showing results. A professional makeup artist
would recommend not beginning a new skin care routine days before the nuptials.
Your face could become inflamed, break out over the stress of the wedding, etc.
Retinol and Retin-A are the gold standards for clear, healthy, youthful skin.
They are both vitamin A derivatives, but Retin-A is a stronger form and
obtained only through a prescription. Retinol is sold over-the-counter and is
also considered effective.
Both Retin-A and retinol are great at exfoliating deep within the pores,
reducing wrinkles, evening skin tone and enhancing collagen production. They
are best used at nighttime.
Vitamin C
Most professionals at makeup artist weddings are also beauty proponents of
vitamin C for the face and neck. This lightweight antioxidant cream or serum is
excellent for daytime wear and protection, and makeup can be worn on top of
Vitamin C.
Vitamin C is a win-win because makeup artists know that it delivers exceptional
skin brightening, tightening, smoothness and natural moisture for the
complexion. The powerful antioxidant is gentle and tolerable for all skin
types.
Dermatologists advise never using Vitamin C within a few hours of retinol or
acids like salicylic and glycolic acid. Mixing the formulas can cause redness,
burning and stinging.
Exfoliation, retinol and vitamin C are the triple combination that produces a
gorgeous, healthy complexion for all women at any age. It's a skin care
treatment plan that is worth the tiny investment, and your face and neck will
thank you.
