Simple Saturday Beauty in 3 steps
Think about it. When someone tells you they are a hairstylist and they hair looks like crap, are you going to trust that person with your hair? Or a dentist with a front tooth missing. Don’t think so. So, I think that even on a Saturday or whatever your “off” day is, it’s important to look pulled together. You know that saying about opportunity…
So here are my steps for Simple Saturday Beauty:
1. Simplify your skincare routine.
I love products that are double duty. Favorites right now are Black Opal Brightening Mask/Scrub and Vichy Liftactiv Retinol HA SPF 15.
The Black Opal scrub is awesome because not only does it deep clean my pores, but it truly brightens my complexion. I hate taking time to mask, but because I’m a scrub junkie, I get my scrub fix and the benefits of a deep cleansing mask in one. Ladies, this is a wonderful product for your guy too.
Vichy Liftactiv Retinol HA SPF 15 is not just double duty, it’s triple duty — moisturizer, treatment and SPF. Plus it’s lightweight and melts right into my skin.
2. Keep makeup minimal.
I start with Vapour Organic Beauty Stratus Instant Skin Perfector. This handy stick brightens, evens tone, makes my pores disappear and is the perfect primer for makeup. Even days when I don’t wear foundation, Stratus is a must. Plus, it’s organic and feeds my skin. That’s a win-win for me.
Next I apply a bit of foundation under my eyes and fan out. A touch of cream blush, fill in brows, touch of mascara and gloss. That takes about 2 minutes.
3. No fuss hair.
No fuss hair for me is a pony tail. A low pony tail can is a chic alternative to the big hair that I love. I have curly frizzy hair, so keeping that stuff in laying down is a necessity. I love Garnier Fructis Style Conditioning Glaze. It holds my frizzies in place without being heavy and makes my hair ultra-shiny. Add a nice hair clip or colorful scarf around my scrunchie
