You may have noticed the recent trend for nude-style make-up, with many celebrities daring to post selfies of their natural-looking faces, revealing freckles or blemishes that are usually hidden under a cake of foundation.
Look closely, though, and it’s clear that a lot of work has gone into achieving such apparently effortless beauty. In fact, if you read a how-to guide on achieving the nude look, you’ll realise that it’s a painstaking process involving an array of artfully-applied products including bronzer, false lashes, matte lipstick and clear glosses.
Here at Eternal Skincare, we believe that less is more. If you care for your skin properly, it can look naturally beautiful throughout your life.
The side effects of make-up
Wearing a full face of make-up every day can take its toll on your skin. Depending on the products you’re buying, the chemicals in concealers and foundations can dry out the skin and cause allergic reactions. Make-up can also lead to clogged pores, blackheads and acne break-outs.
A sight for sore eyes
Everyday cosmetics such as mascara and eye liner can spread bacteria and trigger eye infections or flare-ups of conditions such as blepharitis. It’s wise to renew eye make-up every three to four months to avoid the build-up of germs on mascara wands or eye pencils. Even better, wean yourself off eye make-up completely and you may find that dry, tired eyes suddenly feel completely rejuvenated.
Keep it clean
Whether or not you have worn make-up during the day, always thoroughly cleanse the skin morning and night. Removing dirt, oil and impurities will help to prevent blocked pores and promote the natural exfoliating process. Failing to cleanse can result in dull-looking skin and even premature ageing.
Lock in the moisture
Moisturising is the fastest way to a fresh and youthful-looking complexion. Dehydrated skin accentuates any lines and wrinkles you may have, and will result in dry, flaky patches. While it’s important to wash the skin morning and night, water can actually strip away natural oils, which is one of the reasons it’s best to apply moisturiser after cleansing. If your skin is well moisturised you should be able to embrace the nude look without fear!
Cleanse, moisturise and protect – the natural way
We believe in harnessing the power of the natural world to offer gentle yet highly effective beauty solutions. In our products, the luxurious and intensely hydrating benefits of organic Aloe Vera are combined with other natural ingredients such as Rosehip Oil to produce creams and cleansers that soothe and soften the skin.
Aloe Vera is an amazing botanical ingredient that’s suitable for all skin types. We use a high concentration of this active ingredient in our products, offering excellent value and instant results.
If you’re planning to jump off the cosmetics treadmill, it makes sense to invest in a great cleanser and moisturiser to give your skin the healthiest possible glow. Our Aloe Super Hydrating Fragrance-Free Moisturiser and Aloe Cleanse and Soothe Cleanser will give the boost you need.
And to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun, our brand new Aloe Anti-ageing Day Cream SPF20 is the perfect choice. It is rich in Aloe Vera, Chamomile, Calendula, Shea Butter and anti-ageing Green Tea Extract, and it’s light enough to be worn summer and winter.
