"Use what you've GOT to get what you WANT"... part II


This week is all about your FACE! It's the first thing people notice, but sometimes the last thing we take care of. As a result, most turn to using lots of makeup to cover up the beauty that is already there.

The key to skin care is cleansing and moisturizing. Overall, clean skin helps to prevent blemishes while moisturizing helps to keep your complexion glowing. This is especially important during the winter months when our skin is prone to dryness. An oil-free, non-comodogenic (wont clog your pours) moisturizer keeps the skin on your face hydrated from the wind without giving it a heavy greasy feeling.

Another aspect of our face that is very important is our eyebrows. One small hair can make all the difference. Clean eyebrows gives your face a cleaner look that sometimes makeup can't even achieve.

Lastly, a good bronzer is a girls new best friend. It's used to HIGHLIGHT not COVER UP. Apply under your eyes to cover up the effects of late night studying, or along cheek bones to accent them. The forehead and chin aren't very good places to apply bronzer because those places are already prone to collect oil and therefore may end up being too shiny.

It's also important for men to take care of they face... many dudes dont really pay attention to this.. they wash their face with regular body soap and may or may not put lotion on it... and 9 times out of 10 its the lotion they use for their body...

I have a seperate regimen that i use for my face. i have a cleanser, scrub, and a oil free moisturize.. and i use witch hazel occasionally around my nose and brow lol.. It works for me and my skin gets better each day lol

Man I agree with the eyebrow comment sooo much. Groomed eyebrows make all the difference...

ANOTHER GR8 ARTICLE ABOUT SKINCARE. It's important for everyone to know the basics about, the what and what Nots, before putting anything on your skin because skin is memorable! I hope for starters that people DONT use body soap on their face, its rough and it harms your skin. Try maybe skin cleanser. I recommend Cetaphil, its available everywhere and pretty inexpensive. Invest in a Dermatologist, that work with you and your skin and probably can get rid of some of your skin issues. AND I REALLY HOPE EVERYONE uses two separate rags for their body and face! Oh and eyebrows, definitely keep them groomed! There is nothing worse than nasty eyebrows on anyone's face, man or woman!

Well, I feel that people should be anti-make-up unless there is a special event. I feel that you should just know your skin in general because if I use any kind of moisturizer my face is cold all day and my face is naturally oily so nothing really helps me. The eyebrow thing really works but if you dont like it then dont do it. Because I have done it and seen the changes, but I dont like them like that.
