Here are some tips that Beauty Bar experts shared with Primer!
Skin Cleansers- it is important to cleanse skin before placing any other product in the morning and before going to bed. Our skin is the canvas for all other beauty products and having beautiful clear skin and great makeup starts with a clean skin. TryBloom Orange Cleanser (P650) which gently removes makeup and impurities while maintaining your skin’s natural pH balance orPhilosophy Purity (P1,150), a 4-in-1 cleanser and moisturizer for the face all in one quick step and for those who prefer organic products, useJuice Beauty - right photo- (P1,375) Organic Gel Cleanser for oily skin and Juice Beauty Milk Cleansers for dry and sensitive skin.
Moisturizer with SPF
Should be used daily on the face and exposed skin because sun damage is the primary factor for aging. Daily exposure to sun which gradually adds up over the years is the most damaging to our skin. Using moisturizers with SPF daily protects us from the harmful rays and helps keep us looking healthy. Some products that you should try are:Sue Devitt Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 30 (P2,250) which hydrates the skin and evens out your skin tone while completely blocking UVA and UVB rays. On the other hand, Smashbox Sheer Focus Tinted Moisturizer doesn’t just hide flaws－it prevents them too with Anti-aging peptides, UVA/UVB SPF 15 and Vitamin C&E.
Also, remember to use lip products that have SPF, because skin on the lips is thinner than the rest of our face and needs even more protection. Use Bloom Lip Tints with SPF7 has the perfect amount of sheer color with the soothing effect of a lip balm with sun protection and The Balm Balm Shelter enriched with jojoba to soothe and moisturize your lips while protecting it from the sun.
A good foundation that is suitable for your skin type and the weather– What you choose to wear day to day should depend on if your skin type, the weather the makeup has to withstand and what kind of coverage you want or need.
Mineral foundation such asYoung Blood Loose Foundation - right picture- (P1,995), a full minerals makeup line, is a favorite, especially their Loose Foundation that is a foundation, concealer and powder all in one.
