Taking Care of your Cosmetic Brushes & Makeup Brushes
Cleaning your makeup brushes is extremely important because dirty brushes can cause acne on your skin. Furthermore, unclean makeup brushes contain a number of nasty oils, dead skin, product buildup and bacteria buildup.

When Is a Masque Needed?
Try for about once a week. It is great for smoothing the face, relaxing before a night out on the town, and the ideal time for a beauty masque is in the evening. Consider it a little luxury you can give yourself after a hard week at work.
Beauty New Years Resolution
Throw out your makeup sponge after every use (or at least once a week). You can buy a 32-pack of makeup sponges for less than a Starbucks coffee.
 Exfoliate Your Facial Skin
If you want your skin to look brighter and better, exfoliation can certainly help! While most people understand exfoliating treatment processes and a routine skin care regimen including exfoliation can buff your dead skin cells off and give you silky results, very few people know how to properly do it. Exfoliation is often something people think they can only get at a dermatologist’s office or in a spa. However, you can get similar results right in your own home, every week. All you need to do is know which products to use and what techniques work best. Use these helpful tips to help you learn how to use the best technique, reduce irritation and get smooth results.
Common Causes for Getting Dry Skin on Your Face
Try Exfoliating Gloves:
The first step to getting great exfoliation results is to learn how to do it. To get the best results and to softly remove dead skin cells, don’t use a hard sponge to exfoliate. A sponge can create breeding ground for bacteria, because they tend to stay damp. You can get great results for dead skin removal by using exfoliating gloves. Simply lather a cleanser on them and lightly scrub your skin. Just be sure to rinse the gloves well after each use and let them air dry. Some people prefer to use the most costly methods, like microdermabrasion, but you can get great results using these techniques and a good cleansing product.
Don’t’ Scrub Everyday if Skin is Irritated:
Remember, you should only be exfoliating two to three times a week. When you exfoliate more than this, you can end up with irritated skin. Most people are terrified of exfoliating because they do it too often, use harsh products during the process or just don’t know what technique to use. To avoid getting bad results, you can also choose to use a soft rag when exfoliating as well, instead of a hard sponge. Of course, if your climate is warmer and you frequently experience more oily skin issues and oil production or perspiration, you’ll have more dead skin cells and may need to exfoliate more often.
Use Specialize Facial Scrubs Only:
Be sure to use exfoliate skin products that are specifically designed to be used on the facial areas. If you’ve struggled with irritation after using an exfoliating product on your face, it may be because you’re using a body exfoliant cream instead of a cream designed specifically for the sensitive areas of the face. If
Don’t forget to moisturize!
Exfoliation can leave your skin extremely smooth and can even give you a healthy glow. To ensure you get the silky results you desire, always use moisturizer several times a day if you exfoliate regularly. When you exfoliate, the dead skin cells are indeed removed. However, your skin can begin to dry out and get flaky if you don’t keep moisturizer on it at all times and can even bring on more wrinkles. When you do so, exfoliating can make your skin brighter and your skin tone will be more even. It can also lead to smaller pores and reduce the occurrence of pimples.
It's Fall - Time to Overhaul your Makeup Bag
Overhaul your makeup bag
It's time to turn your makeup bag upside down and take stock of what you want to keep – and what should be tossed. The start of a new season is a great time to overhaul your cosmetics bag and make sure anything expired or that you no longer use is replaced. While you're at it, do a thorough cleaning of all your makeup brushes with a mild, unscented soap and warm water or brush cleaner. If it's been a while since you've given them a wash, now is a good time to make sure they're free of oil, debris and other icky things you definitely don't want on your skin.
UnderEye Concealer Tip
Beauty specialists used to tell us to apply concealer on the dark areas under our eyes before applying foundation. Nowadays they believe that if you start with your foundation and then apply the concealer, it creates a more natural look.
Moisturizing Myth Busted
After a bath or shower is the best time to moisturize. The moisture will lock into your skin and keep it soft and smooth longer
Bet you Didn't know that?
The beauty industry is dominated by a few key players, all multi-billion dollar corporations with ownership over multiple major brands. Here's how it breaks down.
