If you are still using liquid foundation makeup (nothing wrong with that, although you should just try mineral makeup), using a sponge to apply it with is a must; reason being is that you can spread bacteria onto your skin via your fingers. Bacteria can wreak a whole host of problems, including breakouts and even skin infections.
Not only is using your fingers a bad idea from a bacteria perspective, it also stretches the skin, thereby creating creases, wrinkles and over time, sagging skin. Using your fingers to apply foundation also gives an un-blended appearance.
Fingers, no. Makeup sponges, yes. Regularly change makeup sponges and wash them under hot, soap water. Allow to air dry. Try triangle sponges (pictured) for hard to reach areas such as the eyes.

True or False? Cucumbers contain a special ingredient that helps reduce puffy or swollen eyes. Experts believe this to be false.
Fact: More than 90% of cucumber consists of water. The real secret is the cooling effect of the water in the cucumbers. It is believe that the cooling effect of the water, combined with increased humidity, is what reduces swelling around the eyes. Cucumber in high concentration may help to improve the hydration of the skin, however, cucumbers do not contain any ingredients that specifically targets eye swelling…it’s the cool water in the cucumber that’s doing all the work.

Did you know caffeine in beauty products can perk up your skin? This ingredient is known to repair stretch marks and fine lines by vasoconstricting, or closing blood vessels, temporarily helping reduce the appearance of sagging, puffy skin.

When washing your face, you should cleanse your face for at least one full minute. Taking additional time to cleanse properly reduces surface oil and debris. Sebum is really the enemy of healthy skin; if allowed to accumulate, it clogs pores and causes blackheads and acne.

Considering your skin absorbs almost everything (about 98%) of what’s put on it, it’s beneficial to be mindful of what you are using to cleanse and moisturize your skin with. Homemade blends are often times more effective than department store, Paraben-laced, products. Use fruit to create sensational all-natural skincare recipes. Try this kiwi facial cleanser. It’s pH balance is middle of the road …meaning it’s formulated for normal to dry skin types. The finely ground almonds make it perfect for gentle exfoliation.
1 kiwi fruit
2 tablespoons of plain yogurt
1 tablespoon orange water
1 tablespoon apricot or almond oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon finely ground almonds
2 drops orange (or your favorite citrus) essential oil
Puree the kiwi fruit in a food processor until liquid. During processing, add yogurt, orange water, almond or apricot oil, and ground almonds. Process until thick and cream like. Add essential and stir to mix. To apply, massage gently over neck, face and décolleté to cleanse. Rinse well. Makes one application.
