Slip-Sliding Away?

Posted By Kate

Have you ever taken the time to perfectly apply your makeup, only to suffer a meltdown as soon as you step-out into the heat and humidity? Or do you walk around with "Kentucky Fried Face" sticky, greasy, and oily?

 

Yeah, we've all been there, girlfriend, and as friends help friends (real women ALWAYS help-out their sisters in beauty), we'd like to share a few foolproof ideas to help you conquer your summer beauty challenges!


Stay Balanced

Contrary to what you may believe, using a stronger cleanser will not eliminate oil production, but serve to promote MORE oil production! When one over-strips the skin of necessary oil, it will compensate by replacing that which has been stripped away, flooding the surface with MORE oil! If you've got combination-oily, or oily skin, use a gentle cleanser which will lift and suspend excess oil, makeup, and surface debris, but maintain balance and hydration. A few to consider:

 

All skin types: philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser. It does what it's supposed to do: lift, suspend, soothe, and refresh ... without stripping.

Combination: Yonka Cleansing Gel. Your skin will feel refreshed, not stripped, or tight.

Oily: Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser. Menthol refreshes & cools, while kaolin clay absorbs and controls oil. May also be left on face as an oil-controlling mask!

Stay Hydrated
All skin, including oily, requires hydration. The key to preventing oil breakthrough: finding a moisturizer which boosts the hydration below the skin, without adding too much oil to the surface of the skin! Apply your moisturizer (and sunblock) about 5-10 minutes before applying makeup. Let it soak-in, penetrate, and then proceed with your cosmetic products!

Combination: Dermalogica Active Moist adds moisture where you need it, not where you don't!  Also: Koh Gen Do All In One Refresh Gel — soothing with aloe, cooling, and the perfect product to add to your summer arsenal!


Oily: Embryolisse Hydrating Mattifying Emulsion hydrates, controls oil, and mattifies all day long! Peter Thomas Roth Max Anti-Shine Mattifying Gel delivers an extra dose of oil control (and is also great for men with shaved heads)!

 

Prime Your Canvas!

If you've never used a makeup primer before, you have been MISSING-OUT! Primers give endurance to makeup, fill-in pores, control oil, perfect texture, and blur imperfections. Even without wearing makeup, a primer can improve the look of the skin!  We love ColoreScience Skin Mattifying Primer, as it's ideal for those who have oily, acne-prone skin! bare Escentuals bareVitamins Prime Time Oil Control combats excess oil, and absorbs shine, while minimizing the appearance of pores, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Wrap Your Lashes!

Waterproof mascara is great ... on occasions such as weddings, graduations, and days at the beach. However, it can be quite drying to the lashes, and a pain in the backside to remove. There is a happy medium, however, which won't end up all over your face: Blinc's Kiss Me Mascaras (and liners!) wrap the lashes in tubes of colour, and may be removed at the end of the day with a bit of warm water, and pressure. (No oily residue around your eyes from eye makeup remover!)


Lock Your Face in Place!

Setting sprays are genius, regardless of the time of year!  With a couple of spritzes, your makeup will appear fresh, without budging all day! The most famous on the market (as touted by Oprah Winfrey) is Model in a Bottle (their brow product is genius, too). Also: FACE atelier Ultra Matte gives day-long endurance, standing up to intense heat and humidity!

 


Summer doesn't have to be a time of meltdowns, if you take the right steps to prevent it.  


Save the slippin' and slidin' for fun ... on a Slip n' Slide or Banana Slide! ;)
