#1 Skincare Tip

One of my BIGGEST skin care tips is one that, I feel, is simple, common knowledge.  But you know what they say about "common knowledge"?  It ain't that common.

Ready…???

Ok…here it is….

REMOVE YOUR MAKEUP!!

Argh!  So many women that I know think that their face wash IS their makeup remover.  NO!!  Would you get into the shower with your clothes on and expect your body wash to get your skin clean??  Umm, no.  So in the same way, we cannot expect the desired results from our face wash if we are first not giving it a face…to…wash.

My all time favorite makeup removers is Mac's Cleanse Off Oil.  So easy and so effective!  I have been using it for YEARS!  If you have oily/prone to breakouts skin, I know what you're thinking: "No way would my face take kindly to that."  (Ok…maybe your thoughts aren't as Southern sounding as mine, but still…)  Well, I am the queen of breakouts (or was), and I have the oiliest skin on the planet - you could open a funnel cake stand with the oil that my face can produce. But this cleanser is super gentle, non-comedegenic, and mineral oil-free.  Perfect for ALL skin types.  So many of my friends with all different types of skin use this, per my recommendation.  And they all love it!

Here's how it works:
1.  Pump the product into your clean, DRY hands. (One pump is all you need for your whole face)
2.  Gently rub the product into your hands and then apply to your DRY face.  Continue to rub until you feel that all of your makeup is broken down (including eye makeup, lip stains, etc.)
3.  With warm water, rinse your hands and then apply your damp hands (note:  do not splash your face) to your face.  When the water and the oil/makeup mix, it will turn a milky-white.
4.  With a gentle cloth (or even just a few splashes of water), rub the makeup off your face.

Easy peasy!  Now your face is makeup FREE and ready for your face wash product.  Personally, I am loving the Reverse Deep Exfoliating Wash.  It makes my skin feel super soft, primed, and ready for some anti-aging goodness!
