Makeup Removal, Cleansing,
Toning and Prep
I
just wanted to share with you some products I use to remove makeup, cleanse,
tone and prep my skin with that I love!
On
nights that I am full of energy, I start off by using Bi-Facil eye makeup
remover on my eyes and I use Eau Fraiche Douceur for my face. The Bi-Facil will
take anything of my eyes, I love it one quick swip and it’s gone, no tugging or
rubbing, which I love so I’m not stretching my eye skin. The Eau Fraiche
Doucer, is a rose water that will gently remove makeup all over your face &
eyes, it’s soothing to me. On nights that I come home late or exhausted, I use
the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes. I love how this compeletly
removes all my face and eye makeup without leaving me feeling oily or unclean.
I
follow up with the Crème Radiance, it’s a cream-to-foam cleanser to cleanse my
face. Once I have cleansed my face, I pat dry my face and use a toner. I have
always used toner, since my teenage years and I am surprised to hear that many
don’t ever tone. That seems odd to me, I like the clean feel of my skin plus it
prevents from break outs due to dirt and grime in the pores. I use the Tonique
Radiance a clarifying exfoliating toner. Both of these products are meant for
my skin type, normal/combination skin.
Mask
& Exfoliator
About
once every 2 ½ weeks, sometimes more in the summer, I use the Pure Empreinte
Masque. It’s a 5 minute purifying mineral mask with white clay that works like
a sponge to absorb and remove excess oils and impurities that dull your
complextion. It also reduces the appearance of of pores, clarifies, smooths and
refines your skin texture! I love this mask, it, it really does unclog pores!
My skin feels amazing after every treatment!
I
also use the Exfoliance Radiance, a clarifying exfoliating gel about twice a
week . It’s a gentle exfoliator with massaging beads and fine grains and
pineapple and papaya extracts that leave my skin radiant!
Last
but not least I use the Dynamic Duo…Genifique and Visionnaire.
The
Genifique I use in the mornings and the Visionnaire at night. The Genifique
brings back that youthful glow to my skin and the Visionnaire works on evening
out my skin texture, reduce pores and works on the few lines I have on my
forehead. My cheeks have been red for years due to the sun but the Visionnaire
has evened that out and now my cheeks are a pale pink, I used Estee Lauder for
years with no significant improvement, I can’t say enough about Visionnaire! I
can’t live without the Dynamic Duo! They go with me everywhere I go! (I have
recently started using the Genifique Eye Light Pearl Serum, making the Dynamic
Duo into the Terrific Trio) The Light Pearl Serum works instantly and the
longer you use it the more of a difference you will see. Immediately your eyes
are lifted and more open, your lines are smoothed and your eyes are more
illuminated. I’m blessed not having wrinkles around my eyes just yet but I use
it for the illuminated eye area and for the puffiness I have in the morning
after a late night out or working!
I’m
always getting compliments on my skin, how young I look, my natural glow…..this
all ties in to my “you need to start with a clean canvas before applying you
makeup” theory! Don’t forget hydration! Moisturizers and H2O!!!!! I will go
into my skin care moisturizes on a new blog just on moisturizers!
