Your Beauty Questions Answered

Recently, I had a chat with Tammy Lloyd, the principal of Beauty Therapy Institute in Randburg regarding some your beauty questions that we could not answer on the blog. See below:

Flawless
A good cleansing routine; according to Tammy; is very important as it helps keep the skin looking younger and healthier. One should make it mandatory to cleanse, tone and moisturize twice daily. On top of that, you should also put on an SPF, eye cream over 25 and mask twice a week. It is also very important to get into this routine early even before cracks start to show instead of starting it after the skin starts to be problematic. Prevention is always better than cure!

Using professional products is your best bet as they are more active and are designed to deal with specified skin problems, this is in answer to the blogger who's hydrating serum and moituriser still left her skin dry. Tammy also recommends drinking a lot of water to help keep your skin looking and feeling healthy since beauty does indeed start from the inside. 

On Make up, Tammy says: to achieve the "barely there" makeup look, less is more. One should always insist on a foundation colour that is most suitable for your skin tone. Do not be shy to ask a cosmetic consultant to try out a few shades until you get one that matches your skin tone. 

On Mascara and eyeliner Tammy advises that one should work with the eyeliner on the outside of the eye where the lashes grow and not in the inside of an eye lid to "open up" the eyes. Use a natural colour like brown or black and smudge with an ear bud to soften up the lines. Use a minimum of 14 coats of mascara to lengthen and thicken eyelashes but do allow time for the mascara to dry up in between coats. (this is where I thank nature, 14 coats for whaaaaaaat....)

Most of all, pretty also comes from within. A gorgeous face only lights up when the person in possession is as pleasant to converse with!
