Back in August, we invited several beauty editors to our boutique for a preview of Oscillation Powerfoundation. Andrew Sotomayor, our fave mua, was there to do the demo and the editors' makeup. One of the things we couldn't help but notice was that every editor had a great complexion.
Were they born that way? Maybe, but this is a group that takes care of its skin. They have skincare regimens, many of them stay out of the sun, etc., etc. I know a few who took Accutane in the past to deal with bad acne.
Then there's blogger Julia Coney of All About The Pretty. Julia (above top pic) has the most amazing skin I've ever seen in my life. Celebrities would kill to have what she has. But boy does that girl work for it. I did a little interview with Julia that I've been meaning to run forever, but in the meantime you can check out fellow blogger Felicia Sullivan's post on Julia and her routine.
Here are a few simple, universal skincare rules. How many do you follow?
--Limit your sun exposure.
--Wear sunscreen.
--Don't smoke.
--Drink a lot of water.
--Wear moisturizer!
--Take off your makeup before you go to bed.
Sandy Linter, our beauty at every age expert (above bottom pic), has another great piece of advice. You should not use the same skincare you were using 10 years ago. Your skincare needs change, so make sure to update your product.
Sandy's a huge fan of Absolue Lotion, so I recently switched from Secret de Vie (which I absolutely love) to that product. I was kind of dying to try it because she uses it on all of her celebrity clients. (I know. Lame reason.) I have to say it's a very cool product. It leaves my skin very glowy and it does something miraculous with my makeup. It's almost like my makeup sticks to it like a primer and lasts longer. Maybe Sandy can weigh in with a comment later.
Anyway, because we're all skincare junkies around here in the P.R. department and we really believe in our skincare products, let's do a giveway. To enter, tell us what skincare advice you follow or any advice you'd like to share. We'll pick one post at random and that person can pick any two items from our skincare range on lancome-usa.com. Please post by Sunday night. Good luck!
