Cleansing
Before you go shopping for a new foundation, consider how you cleanse your skin every day. Cosmetics should not hide the wrong care, it should work with him in a pair.
I recently worked with a famous beauty from Instagram - her skin was rougher than sandpaper! It turned out that her care was wet wipes and nourishing oil on special occasions. Remember: even if you danced until dawn, do not go to bed without washing.
I recommend starting the cleanse with Take it away, Estée Lauder. It copes with lipstick, mascara, long-lasting eyeshadows and thick foundation. One cotton pad is enough. The texture is soft like milk. Put DayWear Makeup Remover Wipes in your purse for emergencies. They will help remove makeup before washing.
The next step is foam. I have Perfectly Clean, Estée Lauder. This product provides deep cleansing and a feeling of freshness. Suitable for all skin types and does not irritate the surface.
The third step is the mask. I love the versatile Advanced Night Repair, Estée Lauder for cleansing and restoring in one bottle. You clean the surface with a mask, and its nutrients reach the subcutaneous micro-level.
Toning
If you are lazy and do not use a toner - wipe your skin with a cotton pad after cleansing and make sure it remains dirty. Even after a good cleansing, lotion is essential - otherwise, this dirt will clog into the pores.
I wipe my face with Perfectly Clean Toner, Estée Lauder. It is suitable for all skin types and exfoliates dead skin cells. You get rid of flakes and uneven skin tone. This lotion prepares the surface for makeup - just enough for the entire toning process.
Moisturizing
If a girl uses the cream every day - I give her a solid four, if she adds serum to the cream - an five. Let me give you an example: there are two flowers on your windowsill. You water one of them with clean water, and add fertilizer to the watering can for the second. In our case, fertilizer is whey. Cream and serum enhance each other's effect. The serum acts on the deeper layers of the skin and "pulls" the cream substances along with it.
I love the Re-Nutriv, Estée Lauder lifting line of serums, but in the first place I have the universal Advanced Night Repair in a brown jar. The serum contains hyaluronic acid, which every skin needs, regardless of its age.
Advanced Night Repair protects cells from destruction and restores them as much as possible at night.
Let's deal with the cream. It is desirable that the SPF exceeds 15 points - then the cream will protect the skin from premature aging. I recommend choosing an antioxidant moisturizer to help prevent pigmentation. DayWear cream, Estée Lauder meets all parameters. It does not cause an oily sheen, is absorbed in a couple of minutes and feels comfortable on the skin all day.
My skin is prone to oily content, for myself I choose DayWear Matte, Estée Lauder - it not only mattifies, but also deeply moisturizes the skin. I love the cream with lifting effect Residence Lift, Estée Lauder, but I only put it on at night - four hours after it, oily skin starts to shine. Better to combine the Advanced Night Repair Lifting Serum with the DayWear Matte.
