Beauty tips for tweens discovering skincare and makeup
FACE TIME Start with a makeup remover (Aveeno makeup wipes or Neutrogena’s oil-free formula are both good options). Once all your makeup is off, use a face wash. The product you buy will depend on your skin chemistry: oily, dry or normal (if it’s oily, it will develop a shiny film as the day goes on). A highly-effective one-step facial cleanser is Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser. Your face is clean if no residue comes off when you pat it dry with a towel. In the morning, simply wash with water. It’s good for the natural oils that have built up overnight to remain on your skin. Aveeno Ultra-Calming Make-Up Removing Wipes for Sensitive Skin, $9.98 at Walmart (walmart.ca). SWEET CREAMS Again, talk to friends, family, or skin professionals to properly assess your skin type before purchasing a moisturizer. Then experiment slowly – one product at a time – to identify what works best with your skin. Phillips – who has “problem skin” – uses Biologique Reserche. Less pricey options include Philosophy Hope in a Jar (good for sensitive skin) and First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration (suitable for dry or combination skin). The most common mistake, says Phillips, is using a moisturizer that is far too rich for your skin. Don’t use anything that feels too heavy. Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar, $62 at Sephora (sephora.ca). PREP TALK Most teens don’t need foundation, says Phillips, who prefers using a combination of concealer and bronzer. Tap concealer under your eyes or on blemishes with your ring finger and make sure it’s blended out before setting it with a tiny amount of translucent powder. Her favourite concealers are ///ac: did she specify the name of the line? a natural, coconut-oil based line from RMS and Laura Mercier’s Secret Camouflage, which is oil-free. Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage, US$35 through lauramercier.com. COLOUR THEORY Bronzers can be used as eyeshadow and blush (a low-cost neutral option is Rimmel Natural
