In boudoir photography, we look to achieve beautiful smooth, glowing skin! I have special lights, makeup artist, and some times a little editing to eek out that list ounce of beautiful!
Like many of you I am beginning to see the age in my face but still deal with occasional break outs! Of course we all want to take care of ourselves and feel the best we can. Not everyone can or wants to go to the salon for treatments or have injections! But how can you achieve this boudoir ready look at home! It all starts with skin care!
Healthy hydrated skin just glows better!
Here are a few product that I use! Below I will tell you about how and why I use them!
Differn gel is great to prevent acne, closes open pores, which makes the skin smoother and more youthful. Long term side effects are it naturally increase the collagen in your skin and can make you look younger! I only apply this at night and wash off in the morning and wear an oil free sunscreen to protect your skin while using this product!
I use this 5% benzoyl peroxide wash I get (with out prescription) from the pharmacist or right on Amazon and get it delivered to my home! This cleans my skin and prevents any black heads or the "monthly break out" I only use this the week before and the week of my period, and only in the areas I know I tend to break out in... the T zone and my neck.
I exfoliate a few times a month, not much... just to bring fresh new skin to the surface. I found I really like a silicone face scrubby like this! My hubby and teen uses them too now!
"The Ordinary" hyaluronic acid is great, apply while your skin is damp and it will help plump those fine lines!
I use a few times a week .5% retinol from "The Ordinary" company and I take a few drops and then gently apply it to my face and neck.
"The Ordinary" Squalane oil, I use this morning and night. This is not an oil like you would think an oil would be, it is a hydrator, this should be applied under your lotion.
The pure aloe I like to use to help calm my rosacea! I wish I could tell you that it is a magic wand and makes your rosacea disappear, unfortunately it doesn't. But is is a cooling soothing relief. It does, appear to calm the redness, and the flushed feeling!
After I do any of these treatments, I apply an oil free lotion to lock in all that good stuff I just did to my face!
I do not do all of these every day, I did a little reading online after my dermatologist made some product suggestions and made a little plan that works for me!
Next I can tell you guys How I cleared my hormonal acne on my neck! I literally went from large lumps of acne that would leave marks for months to the most clear skin in my adult life!
