Beauty FAQ #8: Did You Know?

Q: What shade of blush is best for my skin tone?

A:

Very pale skin tones - stick to pale pinks, apricots and beiges. Anything stronger will overpower your face

Yellowish skins - counterbalance your natural tone with warm coral tones

Pinkish skins - minimize red tones, which will highlight your natural tone; opt instead for a contrasting apricot

Olive/Tan Skins - go for pinks or peaches with gold undertones

Beauty FAQ #5: Did You Know?

Q: Why won't my foundation go on smoothly?

A: If you're already exfoliated and moisturised before applying your foundation, facial hair could be the problem. If you suffer from excess hair, get it threaded to stop your foundation from caking on the hairs and making them look more obvious. Another way to achieve smooth foundation is by using a face primer prior to applying foundation.

Beauty FAQ #3: Did You Know?

Q: "Do I really need seperate Day & Night creams?"

A:While day creams should provide a barrier to moisture loss, protect against sun and environmental damage, and work in tandem with your makeup, the role of night cream is different. Richer in texture, night creams usually contain higher concentrations of active ingredients designed to repair the while we sleep. A night cream is too heavy for day and a day cream won't give you the full replenishing benefits at night.

Beauty FAQ #2: Did You Know?

Q: "What are AHAs? Is it suitable for all skin type?"

A: Alpha Hydroxy Acids, derived from fruit or milk sugars. They work to exfoliate the skin and promote the growth of new cells, giving a more youthful complexion. Glycolic acid comes from sugar cane, lactic acid from milk, malic acid from apples and pears, citric acid from oranges and lemons and tartaric acid from grapes.

Beware the influence of advertising. AHAs are marketed as miracle skin ingredients but they're often too harsh for sensitive skins and unneccessary for young skins. They may be exfoliating agents, but too much scraping away the upper layers of skin can leave it more exposed to environmental damage and aging.
