Steps to that J-lo glowing skin

Hi there every one..FP here to share my tips on how to have glowing skin that looks and feels natural.

1.) Cleanse with a gentle cleanser like cetaphil lotion or something gentle that suits your skin type. If you don't know your skin type use cetaphil it works on all skin types and is super gentle can also be used as a makeup remover and eye make remover.

2.) Skip toning if it's winter and maybe use it in the summer...I say this b cuz toner is drying, if u must tone use cold witch hazel ( keep a bottle in fridge) and dilute a cotton ball with a bit of water before soaking with the hazel. Tap it around the t-zone area of your face- follow with moisturizer. In daytime use a moisturizer with an SPF in it. At night use vitamin e oil aroind the eyes and lip area.

3.) At night, try not to sleep on your face. Needless to say this smushes you skin and makes wrinkles and crinkles which can become permanent and premature also creating and uneven symmetry in facial features which can result in that lazy eye or one eye bigger than the other look you see on some people in photos. ( This is the hardest part because I usually wind up on my side with half my face in the pillow)

4.) Use make up only where u need it. Highleter and concealors are mailnly for the area around the eyes, and chin area. Most black people have uneven skin tones around the chin, cheeks and eye area, so I say use foundations, primers, and concealors to match your skin tone to the skin color that is the majority of your face. One word when using make up..BLEND!

5.) Playtime begins..get you bronzer and a big blush brush made of natural hair, and sweep lightly the cheekbones and other areas you want to glow. Use a kohl black eyliner aroind the upper and lower lids..smudge lightly with ring finger...lastly slick on your favorite pinky plum to sheer nude lipgloss...( I love Juicy Tubes by Lancome..all the colors..cuz it lasts and is so shiny w/o being sticky or gloppy).


DONE...vOILA P.S. try not to smoke or be around second hand smoke or drink too much alcohol if any..these things are horrible and hyperspeed skin damage and visible signs of age.
