Hi my beautiful ladies:) We all want flawless skin, and that “just after a facial” glow 24/7 🙂 so I am breaking down my secrets! Your skin is an outward reflection of what is going on inside! So, I am going to start there….
Glow from the Inside:
- DRINK WATER !!! You should be drinking at a minimum 3 liters a day. Not drinking water is like trying to drive a car without gas… 🙂 Proper hydration helps eliminate fine lines, dry skin, and dark circles…. extra energy, fewer cravings, and over all wellness, will also come along, when you tip back that bottle:)
- Aloe Vera Juice and Lemon Juice: I drink this combo EVERY day in my workout water! My ratio is 2 ounces Aloe Vera Gel( pure organic) and 2 tbs of lemon juice! This little combo will have your skin glowing, and help control break outs! The benefits of aloe vera juice are endless…. but to name a few… it helps with inflammation, boosts your immune system, increases blood circulation, which helps with things like heart conditions and lowering cholesterol; it also detoxifies the colon. Lemon juice…. well, it is jam packed with antioxidants, and it helps you maintain alkalinity, and when you used topically on the skin, it is a lightening agent!
- GET SLEEP: I cannot stress the importance of getting your zzzzzzzz’s. Turn off your phone, turn off the TV and get at least 7-8 hours!!                                                                                                                                                                                    External Glow:
- Mix a vitamin c serum into your foundation! Make a 2/3 foundation to 1/3 serum ratio. My two favorites are: 1) Cover Fx Custom Infusion Drops C+Lemongrass Radiance, and one that you can purchase on Amazon, under my skincare line RebuildU:)
- Benefit Watts Up: One of my favorite cream highlighters… easy to apply, easy to blend, stays put, can layer with powder, and is hands down my go to brow bone highlight!
- Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder: You can use this as a double product. Use a large powder brush and sweep all over face for a lit from within glow, or you can use with a fan brush and highlight cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of nose, cupid’s bow, inner eyes, and just above brow bone. It blends seamlessly, and flawlessly.
- TE MONEY SAVING TIP: ALL of these products are available in a sample size at Sephora right now for 30.00. ( except for my product obviously 🙂 there are more than what I list , so you may find yourself a new favorite as well!! Â
- Â TE Trick: If you are new to highlighting, concerned with oily skin/pores, or going for too much glow…. which we have seen ALL over Instagram, let’s be real:)
- Please do as follows:
- I dip in my setting powder ( tap powder into the lid, so you don’t get too much) first with and angled Kabuki Brush, then sweep the same brush into my highlighting powder, and then back into my finishing powder ( what’s left in the lid), tap off excess, and blend in a circular motion all over the face… starting with bridge of nose, and moving outwards and upwards! It’s like magic, and you are setting your foundation at the same time!!!
- FINISHING SPRAY: I make my own rosewater spray, or you can use Evian hydrating spray first, then I set it with Urban Decay All Nighter spray ( they also make a matte version). Here is where the money is: Remain expressionless, and turn your blow dryer on low, and let the air dry/ set your look. I even blast it with cool air….if you are looking at me side eyed like …. Terah, for real????:) …. then just fan your face with your hands until it is dry. But if you want your makeup to LAST ALL DAY, BE FLAWLESS, and have your own self lookin’ in the mirror like… ooh is that my skin???:) … bust out the blow dryer ladies!!!!!             Here’s to flawless, glowing skin from the inside out:) xoxoxo
