In the quest for a flawless makeup application, the canvas—your skin—must be perfectly prepped. To uncover the secrets to achieving a smooth, luminous complexion, we turned to Sandra who is the Regional Sales & Education Executive for the Southwest Region at Youth To The People. She shares her expert steps for skin preparation that ensures your makeup not only looks better but also lasts longer.
Step 1: Cleanse with Care Begin your routine by cleansing your face to remove impurities and prepare your skin for hydration. Sandra recommends using the Youth To The People Superfood Cleanser. "Apply 1-2 pumps, work up a good lather, and cleanse away," she advises. This not only clears the skin of pollutants but also sets the stage for subsequent products.
Step 2: Serum for Hydration After cleansing, while your skin is still slightly damp, apply 2-3 pumps of the Triple Peptide Oasis Serum. Sandra emphasizes the importance of including the eye area in this step. "The serum provides intense hydration and helps to firm and plump the skin, making it an ideal base for makeup," she explains.
Step 3: Mist for Plumpness Next, Sandra suggests using the Adaptogen Hydrating Face Mist to add an extra layer of hydration. "Spray your face to not only refresh and soothe but to also enhance the plumpness of your skin," she says. This step ensures that your skin remains dewy and supple, creating the perfect texture for makeup application.
Step 4: Add Glow with Skin Drip For an added glow and luminosity, apply 1-2 pumps of our newest serum addition, Skin Drip. This product illuminates the skin, providing a radiant base that shines through your makeup.
Step 5: Moisturize to Seal Finish your skin prep with your favorite Youth To The People moisturizer. "This final step locks in all the products and ensures your skin is hydrated and protected," Sandra notes. A well-moisturized face will help your makeup apply more smoothly and last longer.
Pro Tip: Double Duty Sandra also shares a pro tip for those looking to streamline their routine. "Use Skin Drip as your primer or mix 1-2 pumps with your tinted moisturizer or foundation for a flawless finish," she suggests. This not only saves time but also enhances the overall effect of your makeup.
Bonus Step: Pre-Event Prep For an extra boost before a special event, Sandra recommends the Yerba Mate Resurfacing Energy Facial. "Use this two-minute facial the night before to instantly soften and smooth your skin," she says. It’s an excellent way to ensure your skin is at its best, making any makeup look that much more stunning.
By following these steps, you’re not just applying makeup; you’re enhancing your natural beauty by starting with a well-prepped canvas. Sandra’s tips from Youth To The People ensure that your skin is not only ready for makeup but also nourished and radiant.
