The holidays are coming, which probably means tons of family photos, candid shots, selfies, and more. To help you put your best face forward, the talented estheticians at MassageLuXe have provided a few tips.  For more information about the Rêpechage® products they recommend, or to schedule a facial, contact their team in Edwardsville and Springfield, IL, or Blue Springs, MO, today.

The Key is in the Routine

For skin that’s camera ready all the time, develop morning and nightly skin care routines. This will help rejuvenate your skin and keep it flawless so you’re ready the next time your best friend wants to take a selfie with you.

Your Morning Routine:

1. If your eyes appear tired or puffy, you can use cotton pads soaked in tea—the MassageLuXe estheticians recommend a combination of black, green, and white—and place them over your eyes. This will reduce puffiness and make you look more energized.

2. One of the most important aspects of any morning skin care routine is the cleanser. If your skin feels dry and tight in the morning, the estheticians recommend the Sea Cleanse® Foaming Seaweed Cleanser. If you have sensitive skin and suffer from redness or irritation, they recommend the Hydra 4 Red-Out® Calming Cleanser instead.

3. You can follow up your cleanser with an exfoliant to remove dead skin and create a smoother surface for makeup application. Rêpechage®’s One-Minute Exfoliating Mask can deep clean and smoothen your skin.

4. A toner, such as Rêpechage®’s T-Zone Balance Toning Complex can help mask minor imperfections, such as dry skin or uneven skin tone. To control shine and create a natural glow for your photos, try the T-Zone Shine Control Serum.

5. Moisturize with their Hydro-Complex® PFS for dry skin or oily/combination skin. A good moisturizer will give you the dewy look you desire for more glamorous selfies.

6. Rêpechage®’s Mineral Face Shield® is the perfect primer and final step in your morning routine before applying your makeup. This mineral-rich primer will create a smoother texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Your Makeup Routine

When applying makeup, you should start with your concealer, then apply your foundation and powder. A setting spray, such as the Algo Mist® Hydrating Seaweed Facial Spray by Rêpechage® can help set your makeup while providing added moisture to the skin.

Your Night-time Routine

After removing your makeup and cleansing your face to remove other impurities, the estheticians at MassageLuXe recommend a face mask. A deep-cleansing mask such as the Honey and Almond Scrub will remove dead skin cells to give your skin a healthy glow. The Hydra Medic® Sea Mud Perfecting Mask is ideal if you are struggling with large pores.
