For me, it's all about moisturizing, moisturizing, moisturizing! I think I look and feel my best when my skin is fresh and dewy. Although I use Makeup For Ever's HD Powder to set my makeup, I finish off with a good spray of Urban Decay's All Nighter or MAC Fix+. Not only does my makeup last longer throughout the day, but it also gives me a dose of hydration that leaves my face glowing. I don't like looking shiny, but I also hate looking dry. Taking good care of your skin and moisturizing every morning and evening is so important to me now that I'm in my late twenties.

I really agree with the importance of moisturization - I had to give up moisturizers for 3 months when I first started acne treatments - and I think it created forehead lines. When I went back to using moisturizer, the lines diminished, but I bet they wouldn't have formed in the first place if I had kept using moisturizer...the old wrinkle-acne trade-off LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt is a horrible trade off isn't it? Your skin looks great though, I've never noticed any lines at all!
DeleteI agree! I had to stop using moisturizers before my laser treatments but I started using it again just because it seemed wrong not using any moisture on my face (that's where my esthetician and I disagree). I think the fine lines are so much more less noticeable when I use the moisturizer.
ReplyDeleteYes, I definitely notice a difference when I don't use lotion or moisturizer. My skin looks older, and very dull. I'd be lost without it! I'll remember to ask my esthetician her opinion.
DeleteI totally agree with the necessity of Moisturising. It's the one beauty item that i cannot live without. Great post :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI have to agree with you that moisturizing is very important.
ReplyDeleteAnd I enjoyed this post!!
Good, I'm happy you liked it!
DeleteYou are so right about moisturizing! Hydration is the key to supple looking skin--I couldn't agree more.
ReplyDeleteMoisturizing is so important, I couldn't agree more. I've become so serious about it now that I'm in my late twenties but it's all about prevention.
ReplyDeletei'm so curious to try that now! Thanks for the tip...xo

how are you liking that kiehl's avocado eye cream? I've had my eyes on it for a while but never took the plunge on purchasing it
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! I'm on my second jar, and it's so creamy and hydrating. I highly recommend it, especially if you are new to eye creams. I'm also using another super moisturizing eye cream by a company called Elevenskin. I'm reviewing that one on the blog soon:)
Deletedefinitely might need to try this now, I really don't use any moisturizer!!

Yes, it's never too early (or too late) to start! There are some great drugstore options too. I love Cetaphil products :)
DeleteMoisturizing is definitely a must!! I've never tried the UD setting spray but I've found that applying primer under foundation makes a huge difference! x www.casualglamorous.com
