Fall Makeup Tips
Here are some tricks to keep your makeup on through the fall Seattle rain:
- Prep your skin with a primer and set it with a long-lasting setting spray. Make sure to also prime your eyelids before going in with eyeshadow.
- Before putting your lipstick on, line your entire lip with lip liner and follow up with lipstick. This will help lock in the color for beautiful pigment that lasts all day.
Exfoliation Explained
Our skin exfoliates itself as skin cells go through their life cycle every two weeks. New cells are created and dead cells on the surface slough away. As we age, the renewal rate slows, resulting in a buildup of dead skin 
cells, causing dry, dull-looking skin. Exfoliation should be used to help smooth and revive your complexion. It is great for hyperpigmentation too. Most people think of physical exfoliants with beads or granules, but there are more possibilities for exfoliation. Hydroxy acids, enzymes, and retinol can help boost cellular turnover.
Hydroxy Acids (i.e. salicylic and glycolic) help loosen dead skin cells to smooth the skin. Enzymatic exfoliation breaks down the dead skin cells on the surface. Retinol normalizes cell turnover and loosens the glue that holds cells together. These exfoliants can be incorporated into at-home products for exfoliation.
There are stronger exfoliants called superficial exfoliants. They are used in peels and are for professional use only. It results in the skin sloughing or mild flaking. As a rule, you can get these peels up to every 30 days, depending on how your skin reacts. The
If you have acne-prone or sensitive skin, you may wish to avoid physical exfoliants because they can irritate skin if overdone.
At-home care
We carry Glo exfoliants for all skin types:
- Oily Skin – Refresh Facial Polish is a physical exfoliant made with Jojoba Beads and Diatomaceous Earth to remove debris from the skin’s surface without irritation
- Combination Skin – Pumpkin Enzyme Scrub, is both a chemical and a physical exfoliant. The formula includes date seeds and jojoba esters as well as enzymes.
