Clean the Palette

As you know, I am a huge supporter of Tyra beauty products. I have found a new routine with them and find myself getting up and getting ready everyday with more energy and enthusiasm. It's amazing that a simple routine can do that. You know what I think it is? Prior to my Tyra products, I didn't really know how to put on my makeup and I think it showed. All the comments I received about not wearing makeup or not really looking like I put any on hit home. I would spend 10-15 minutes putting on makeup and not being noticed or feeling all that great about it. Now I spend 6 minutes and have had NUMEROUS compliments in the past week about my makeup. But, adding new makeup isn't the only thing we need to concentrate on ladies. First we need to clean the palette! Washing our face and keeping our skin healthy is from both the inside AND the outside.

Here are seven quick steps for making sure you are cleaning your palette correctly!
1. Keep your routine and face wash SIMPLE. Washing your face is meant to remove dirt, germs and excess oil, not the healthy skin! Find a simple soap that accomplishes this without drying out your skin or leaving rashes or redness!

2. If you do not use a lot of makeup or don't sweat profusely, its okay if you skip a washing at night before bed. Don't obsess. But, if you are wearing makeup, lotion or sunscreen, its best to wash your face once or twice a day.

3. Keep the water cool! Hot water can actually harm the healthy skin cells. Lukewarm or cold water has numerous benefits for your face. Washing your face with hot water actually opens up the pores in your skin allows your cleaner to OVERCLEAN! Using cool or cold water not only arouses and stimulate circulation in your body but it also it flushes the capillaries in the tissues and CLEANSES them from the build-up of waste matter and poisons, which can cause acne and other health problems.

4. Exfoliate sparingly girls. Excessive exfoliation can cause more damage than good! Exfoliate once or twice a week!

5.  Pat dry. Don't be in a rush and wipe your face dry. Pat, pat, pat (or as Tyra would say, dab, dab, dab). It also doesn't harm anything to leave a fine layer of water on your skin right before putting on your lotion. This can allow your lotion to lock the moisture in!

6. Winterization. Make sure you are watching the amount of time that you spend in a nice hot shower in the winter. All of the steam and heat can be drying on your face. Make sure you have a moisturizer that works for your face and pay attending to SPF. SPF = FRIEND!

7. Watch Your Eyes. Fight the urge to rub your eyes when waking up and when taking off your makeup. The skin under your eyes in extremely delicate and can easily be damage. Find a gentle eye makeup remover and pat, pat, pat!
