Hydration and skin prep
For many, makeup is a kind of ‘mask’ that hides flaws, imperfections and poor skincare. Quite the opposite – makeup exists to accentuate your specific facial areas, highlight your eyes and the most beautiful thing on everyone. It does that with minimal concealment of any imperfections such as pimples, redness and the like. Behind every makeup there should be a well-perfected skin care. Because, otherwise the makeup will look just like a ‘mask’ sitting on the skin – which doesn’t look nice on anyone.
The fact is that makeup does not hydrate and nourish the skin, so preparation is essential. If you use chemical peels for acne and similar inflammatory processes on the skin, use them regularly. They will allow your skin to be smooth by removing dead cells and the skin will not flake off when applying makeup. People with oily skin often avoid face creams thinking that the skin will glow too much. Meanwhile, there are formulas for every skin type, because oily skin also needs hydration. Moisturizers that are intended for oily skin prevent the skin from drying out excessively and control excessive sebum production.
Dry skin also needs hydration, especially before applying makeup. It’s also good to use a serum that will deeply nourish the skin. Our recommendation is Marra Elli’s Pearls serum with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid – it’s great for several reasons:
- full of ingredients that deeply nourish the skin
- nourishes the skin
- smoothes the skin
- suitable for all skin types
- makes the skin soft and glowy
Best Beauty Tips | Vitamin C is your best ally!
Once we have mastered the material regarding skin care, we move on to the ingredients that will give every person, ie every skin, the nutrients they need throughout their entire life. Vitamin C – which is not naturally found in the body. We all know that it can be found in citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons and similar. By consuming citrus, our body receives nutrients that are crucial for tissue regeneration. Similarly, by using vitamin C in your skin care routine, your skin will be firmer and more youthful. By consuming vitamin C alone, the skin cannot absorb enough nutrients. It’s necessary to use products that go directly to the skin, which then absorbs them.
Why is vitamin C always in the first place when it comes to skin care? great question – and answers are many. Primarily, vitamin C helps in the production of collagen, which keeps the skin youthful and firm. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, which helps the skin fight free radicals caused by UV rays. It also brightens the skin and removes hyperpigmentation, as it stimulates the production of melatonin. Melatonin removes brown spots and evens out the complexion – for a radiant and fresh look. For more effective results when using vitamin C, we recommend serums that contain stronger concentrations and deeply nourish the skin. This is one of the best beauty tips you can ask for!
Best Beauty Tips | Less is more!
Sometimes you may not be able to cope with a sea of products. Marketing campaigns certainly don’t help trying to sell you every product on the market. So going back to that saying less is more, because no one disputes that skin care is essential. Overdoing it with too many products or trying too many products – can make a counter effect. Think about how many products are you currently using? Micellar water or makeup cleanser, then a tonic, then a favorite serum and face cream. Mask 2 times a week – have you tried sheet masks, which are trending?
Here and there you add eye cream – to get rid of dark circles, and in any case there is something like salicylic or glycolic acid if a pimple pops up…
What if the skin really suffers after all these products? Some of these are crucial and everyone needs hydration, but overloading the skin with too many products will result in irritation, redness and hypersensitivity. Even if you do not use makeup, and your skin becomes sensitive and reacts unpleasantly to any product – this is a sign that you are using too many products.
Excessive use of a good product is also not good, because you will burden the skin, and the problems that have arisen, such as acne – will not disappear.
To avoid this problem, try to stick to a simple list – for starters:
- Cleaner – to remove all impurities on the face
- Serum for your skin type – with active ingredients such as vitamin C or retinol
- Moisturizer – suitable for your skin
The skin will let itself know when it needs more care and if it needs certain rituals in case of acne, dryness, acne and the like. Try to reduce the amount of products you apply and try new ones often, because sometimes the compounds of these products don’t work well together, even though you didn’t seem to be doing anything wrong. Start by gradually reducing the products you apply to your face every day and let the skin work its processes naturally.
Makeup tools & hygiene
This is quite understandable and does not need to be explained too much, however, sometimes – only sometimes, we forget that our makeup brushes also need to be well cleaned and disinfected. With professional makeup artists, this is routine, because after each client, whatever they use from the tools, they are cleaned and disinfected – without exception. But in our very tight individual schedule, we simply forget that the result of a bad complexion is precisely the improper maintenance of makeup tools.
If you have sensitive skin, try to wash the brushes after each use, although the unwritten rule is to thoroughly clean and disinfect the brushes every 10 days – believe me, your skin will be grateful. Infections that dirty brushes can cause are terrible enough to encourage you to have a well-established hygiene of your makeup tools.
Among other things, the pores will close, causing bacteria to spread on your face and on your favorite products. Everything that collects on the brush from dirt, dust and makeup residue – you apply again on the face. As a result of the development of these bacteria, skin irritations are possible and no makeup product will get rid of them. The skin will also struggle more. By using dirty brushes, it is exposed to oxidative stress due to free radicals. It will break down the elastin and collagen that are responsible for firm, supple facial skin.
For the perfect application of creamy and dry products, we recommend Marra Art blender – an innovation in the world of makeup sponges. Made of microfiber fibers, especially gentle and soft – ideal for every day! If you apply makeup often, with Marra blender you will achieve the best result. The products will blend with your skin, and considering that you clean the sponge before or after each use. Your skin will be grateful!
We hope you will apply some of our beauty tips in your routine,
as you’ll wear your skin for the rest of your life. ♡
