6 Tips for hydrated glowy skin and make up!
IT'S ALL THE RAGE! Honestly, I absolutely love that women are embracing their natural beauty more these days. Seeking a glow that enhances our natural beauty is something I have really become passionate about. For me, make up is a form of expression...it's like art. It should not just cover anything like a band aid, but enhance the skin! In order for me to really fall in love with my skin is to start off with skin HEALTH. Realizing that time is a constant, and it isn't always working in our favor when it comes to our skin. We have to nourish it properly, drink our water, and eat right! Here are my best tips to help enhance your GLOW!
Begin using a proper, customized skin care regimen.
Whatever regimen you choose for yourself, DO YOU RESEARCH! I encourage you to challenge the label, look in to the ingredients and also educate yourself on what your skin type is. Ask yourself what your biggest concerns are, so that you may know what exactly you need in your regimen. There are so many harmful chemicals out there that are not necessary to get the skin you want. There are also a lot of claims, that may not be true. For instance you may find a product claims to uphold a certain standard or contain specific ingredients. But make sure its a pure and clean sourced ingredient, and that it will actually do as it says. For me I have fallen in LOVE with my skin because of Youology. They have over 40,000 combinations of ingredients to target any specific skin care concerns one may have. Visit the "make up and skin care" tab to learn more about creating a customized regimen!
Proper nutrition and hydration.
This is crucial! Much of the reactions, or overall health our skin upholds is HIGHLY effected by our food and water intake. Getting the proper amount of daily water can help increase your skins suppleness, help with aging, and give you more of that natural glow. When it comes to what we eat, we can almost see direct effects. When aunt flow comes to visit and I indulge in chocolate and other sweets, it almost always results in break outs or blemishes. Seeking to find a well balanced daily diet that includes proper servings of vegetables and superfoods, you can begin to see an incredible GLOW to your skin! Read more on this:

TARGETED SERUMS
THE HOLY GRAIL!!!! I started using 2 different targeted serums that had an incredibly impact on my skin. Using them twice daily helped my skin become more even in tone and texture. They allowed me to get proper hydration, and begin naturally reproducing collagen and elasticity! The Youology Brightening and Anti Aging serum have an immense amount of vitamins, fruit extracts, and other naturally sourced ingredients.

The ISLA and AEVA! These girls are apart of my morning and night routine every single day. The Isla is a medical grade silicone egg shaped facial scrubber. (say that ten times fast ha!) She has sonic technology that adjusts to 5 speeds allowing for proper-DEEP cleaning of the pores. After applying my skin care, I always go in with Aeva. She is made from 100% Brazilian rose quartz, and feels best on the skin when stored in the refrigerator. Aeva helps massage skin care products into the skin, helping with better absorption and results. It also helps with inflammation, and irritation leaving you looking radiant! Both are from Fancii-a female owned and operation small business! You can grab yours here, and use code brandi15 to save:

ROSE WATER TONING SPRITZ
This magical spray can be utilized in both your skin care and make up routine to create hydration and glow! You can even use it on sun burns to help quickly repair and heal the skin. When you wash your face you are actually STRIPPING it of the necessary natural oils it needs. By applying rose water directly after cleansing your face, you are helping to restore and rebalance your skins pH levels. It is similar to the concept of your doctor having you start probiotic, after taking a full round of antibiotics. It restores you! It also plays a vital role when blending make up. Using it directly on the skin, or even on your beauty blender will help your products disperse, blend, and continue to hold that hydration! Here is my favorite rose water:

You may be thinking...well duh! But not every one likes or can use dewy products. You can still glow though, sis. For day's I want to GLOW I love using BB cream, its hydrating and tinted. It helps give me a natural enhanced skin tone without feeling cakey! Typically, I use it with Younique hydrating concealer. It is formulated with sodium hyaluronate-which helps continually mimic the skin natural hydrating abilities. This way I get bright under eyes without settling or dryness. To finish I love using the hydrating set and primer powder, it is formulated with water molecules that are activated when shaken. You will immediately feel a cool, almost wet like sensation when applying it. Not only will it keep you hydrated but it will give a natural blur to the skin. Shop my favorite HYDRATING make up items:
