I don’t think many women would argue that life
just seems to get more and more frantic with
each passing day. I know mine is. The constant
juggle of home and work leaves little time for
ourselves and those seemingly indulgent female
pastimes.
Like taking a bath, cleansing our face before bed,
or having time to apply our makeup in the morning
without being hurried out the door so as not to be
late for school, work, or pilates!
Most women accept that skincare is essential
to ward off the signs of aging, and that makeup
does actually help you look and feel better about
yourself. But how to manage all of that in a short
space of time is the battle zone for many women.
HELP IS AVAILABLE...
Seek a Skincare Prescription: If you haven’t seen
a qualified therapist lately to correctly assess your
skin, then you are doing yourself a disservice.
Who do you see when you are sick? The Doctor.
A prescription is given and you would dutifully
take this and have it filled so you can get better.
Your skin deserves the same attention and care,
after all, it is the largest living organ of the body
and serves many functions. A qualified therapist
will determine from performing a thorough skin
analysis, what condition your skin is in, what
treatments are needed to have it look and perform
at its best, and what home care is needed to
maintain or treat any prevailing skin issues that are
causing you concern.

Know what colours you
should be wearing this Spring
....................................................................................
Too often women ‘prescribe’ their own skin regime,
from information gathered from magazines and
expensive advertising by cosmetic companies,
however, this can often result in a rather damaging
‘cocktail’ of product being applied to the skin,
causing more problems, or simply not solving any.
The right skincare regime should not take longer
than 2 minutes night and morning if you know what
you are doing.
Declutter your bathroom drawers: No sense
can be made of any womens bathroom cupboard
or drawers if everything is thrown in together. Try
having small containers for lipsticks-stand them
up so you can read the label on the bottom.
This enables quick selection when you are in a
hurry. In another container, house your concealer,
foundation, blush. Then have a container for
eyecolour, eyeliner and mascara. Easy.
Also, take the time to throw out anything you
have had sitting there for longer than 12 months.
Chances are you won’t wear it again, and it was
probably bought for the wrong reasons, it was on
sale, or it was to go with a special outfit.
Invest in quality applicators: good quality brushes
and sponges can make a huge difference in how
easily makeup is applied. Have them sitting in a
container on your bathroom shelf for easy reach.
Have a personalised makeup consultation:
Wearing makeup the same way you have for the
last 20 years can leave you feeling quite bored with
the whole process. Not only that, you could be
looking quite overdone,
or dated with your
makeup and not even be
aware. A personalised
makeup consultation
can help determine
the correct colours for
you with respect to
foundation, eyes, and
lips and teach you how
to apply it to achieve the
look you desire.
If you are unsure
about whether your
makeup is right, here
are a few pointers …
If you’re wearing too little,
• Your makeup will have disappeared by lunchtime
and others might suggest that you look unwell.
Perhaps you can’t seem to get rid of those dark
circles (which could be a skincare issue that
needs addressing)
If you’re wearing too much makeup..
• Your neck is often a different colour to your face.
I am amazed at how many women have worn the
same colour foundation for years, whatever the
season. Often it is many shades darker than what
their skin tone is and leaves a horrible line around
the jaw or if blended, leaves tell tale stains
around shirt collars. Changes in season, sun
exposure, and climate mean you may need to
adjust the colour & type of foundation you wear.
• Your eye lashes are stuck together and won’t
bend
- You have to reapply powder often
- Your skin is caked and pores are not visible
Perfect makeup should allow for foundation to
match your skin tone and be evenly applied. Eyes
should be subtly contoured and highlighted, and
can be defined with liner and mascara. Blush
should delicately add colour to your cheeks, and
lips outlined with appropriate colour lip pencil and
lipstick that suits your personal colourings.
