Whether you’re getting your makeup done professionally at All Dolled Up via our on site beauty services or are regularly applying makeup at home, you should take the time to take care of your skin. Your skin will look younger and more radiant. You’ll feel better about yourself with or without makeup. Let an All Dolled Up makeup artist in Ocean Isle Beach, NC, take a moment to explain how to make it happen. 

 

Always Remove Your Make Up Each Night

You should remove your makeup at the end of the night, even if you get your makeup done professionally. 

Use a mild cleaner or a specialized cream or serum to remove your makeup. It’ll benefit you in various ways. For one, when you wear your makeup overnight, you rob your skin of its ability to repair itself while you sleep. Therefore, your skin may look dull and lackluster when you wake up. Additionally, mascara can dry out your lashes, causing them to become brittle. 

 

Moisturize Your Skin Each Day

Dry skin looks unhealthy. When you hydrate your skin each day, your skill will look plumper and more healthy. The added topical hydration may enhance collagen and elastin production. 

Keep in mind that some products contain oils. If you have naturally oily skin or suffer from recurring acne, you could make matters worse. Make sure you read carefully before choosing any of these products. 

 

Stay Hydrated

On average, a person’s body consists of between 45 and 75 percent water, though the exact amount varies from person to person based on their body composition and age. 

Ideally, when you drink an adequate amount of water, you can ensure your body can perform all of its functions. When your body performs at its best, it reflects in your appearance. 

Additionally, your skin alone is about 70 percent water. When you lose some of that, you’ll notice a change in the appearance of your skin. 

 

Wash Your Face Regularly 

Your face gets dirty, even if you don’t notice it. The debris from the air may accumulate on it. You might touch your face multiple times throughout the day and introduce pathogens to it. It doesn’t help that your skin produces oil that can build up. These are merely a few examples. 

By washing your face regularly, you remove all this debris and oil. Ultimately, this can prevent acne from occurring or worsening. 

 

Eat a Balanced Diet 

Different cells of your body require different nutrients to function. For instance, your skin consists of collagen and elastin, both of which require protein to form. 

Vitamin A classifies as an antioxidant, which means it can help reduce cellular damage. Additionally, this nutrient is necessary to produce new skin cells.

Vitamin C is also an antioxidant, and your body needs it for wound healing. 

 

Get Enough Sleep  

On average, your body requires seven to nine hours of sleep. It’s a time for multiple parts of your body to take a break to regenerate and rejuvenate. For example, as you sleep, your skin can repair itself because it doesn’t have to be on defense from the sun or other harmful free radicals. Additionally, your blood flow tends to remain consistent as you sleep, so your skin receives continuous nutrients to repair itself. 

When you don’t get enough sleep, you could develop bags under your eyes due to water retention or increased blood flow to the area. Therefore, make sure you take time to rest enough. 

Youthful, vibrant skin doesn’t just come from your skincare routine. It also comes from your habits. By utilizing these tips from a makeup artist, your skin will look healthier, and you’ll have more confidence. You’ll notice an All Dolled Up makeup artist’s final product looks best when your skin is at its best.
