About care
My skin care consists of about nine products. Of the constants, micellar water or wipes, milk for washing (foam in the summer), toner, emulsion, eye cream and moisturizer for the face. Periodically they are added to exfoliating tonic with salicylic acid, tissue, clay and night masks. I combine all this in different ways, based on the condition of the skin. Thanks to this system, rashes appear very rarely, there is no flaking, and on the whole, the skin looks beautiful.
So it was, of course, not always. I'm one of those with acne, oily skin and black dots. It used to be quite bad: to just chat at night on Skype, I applied a thick layer of BB cream; At the end of the work day, I washed my face in the office toilet and re-applied the tone. You can imagine this "beauty routine": liquid soap for hands, paper towel, cheap foundation. Obviously, besides hormones, my main enemy was my ignorance about skin care. But I managed to deceive everyone - I began to drink hormonal pills.
For a whole year my skin looked perfect, I loved myself and my selfies. Unfortunately, the inflammations returned two weeks after the cancellation. Then I realized that it was time, and went to a dermatologist, started doing cleansing, studying blogs, listening to the advice of everyone and experimenting with cosmetics. Now I am satisfied with the condition of my skin and learned to love my acne. I like to apply a layer of a layer of a layer of care, the face care has turned into a pleasant part of the day. The only thing I have never had is whey. If anyone of the readers and readers of this text advises anything that really works, I will be very grateful.
About courses of makeup artists
A year ago, I graduated from a well-known and highly publicized school of makeup artists in Moscow. I wanted to learn the craft - learn how to work with hands. After a few photos and videos, I realized that the course I attended was basic in a bad sense of the word, and the teacher was weak. Video tutorials Lisa Eldridge told (and showed) to me much more useful about the basics of makeup than school classes. When people ask me for advice on this topic, I answer the same thing: watch video tutorials of bloggers you like, constantly train on yourself and on friends, and spend money on training on a decent suitcase with a bunch of good makeup.
About blogs
A couple of times a month I open the channel of Dr. Sandra Lee Dr. Pimple Popper and watch a few videos with a facial expression, from which I will definitely have premature wrinkles. I can not help myself. When I see how she squeezes and cuts comedones the size of my cat, the subcutaneous during ICP stops appearing to be something scary. Also recently, on YouTube, I stumbled upon a girl who was testing fake cosmetics Jeffree Star, Kylie Jenner and others, ordered by Ali Express. Her video is fun to watch, she is not afraid to seem ridiculous or ridiculous. It would be cool if any of the Russian-speaking beauty bloggers were shooting something like that. After all, makeup and cosmetics can be treated differently: for some it is a serious hobby, others consider it unworthy, for the third it is a very interesting, but dense forest. In any case, humor never hurts. I think we miss him.
