How To Clean Your Makeup Brushes Using Baby Shampoo
 |
| How To Clean Your Makeup Brushes |
Anyone dealing with breakouts should stop and ask themselves one important question, that often gets overlooked: "Are my makeup brushes clean?"
This is often the case for those dealing with breakouts and less-than-flawless complexions. Please read makeup artist and beauty blogger Rachel's advice below, and be sure to visit her blog at beautyanywhere.wordpress.com. It's extremely informative!
"Cleaning your makeup brushes is one of the most crucial, yet overlooked, tasks that should be done regularly. Cleaning your brushes is important for multiple reasons. First of all, brushes are an investment. It has taken me years to build up my brush collection and we all know they aren’t cheap. Quality makeup brushes can range in price from $5 to above $50. It’s important to take care of them because they should last you years, maybe even a lifetime if you take care of them properly. Another important reason your brushes need cleaned regularly is because they collect bacteria. If you’re prone to acne this is especially true. If you don’t clean your brushes you are only continuing to spread bad bacteria that can cause breakouts. And finally, if you’re not cleaning your brushes you will not get the optimum results from them. A brush packed full of makeup isn’t going to do the job it was designed to do. Here are the steps to take when cleaning your brushes.
1. Find a makeup brush shampoo. I’m currently using Well-Cared For Brush Conditioning Shampoo by Bare Escentuals. I absolutely love this product because it conditions your bristles and is free of skin-irritants. It also removes every last bit of makeup from your brush. For a budget-friendly option, use a mild baby shampoo such as Johnson’s Baby Shampoo. Next, add a quarter size amount of your shampoo to a cup of lukewarm water and swirl your brush around in the water for a few seconds. Be careful not to submerge the metal part (ferrule) of your brush into the water, which can loosen the glue of the brush..
2. Rinse out your brushes with lukewarm water, squeeze out the excess water, and make sure they are smoothed out into their original form. Lay your brushes on a towel flat to dry overnight."
Repeat every 2 to 4 weeks for personal makeup brushes, and wait for your clear complexion to arrive!

Men, This Applies To You Too - Identify Your Skin Type Before You Treat It
Your skin probably doesn't fall into the category you think it does, but knowing whether you're dry, oily, sensitive, or a combination can stop breakouts, bring life to dull skin, and even prevent early aging. Don't buy another cream or cleanser without reading our quick run-down:
Skin Type: Oily
Skin becomes shiny and greasy throughout the day and pores are visibly large.
What to Do: Use a cleanser with salicylic acid to unclog pores and reduce oil production and don't skimp on moisturizer—your skin is producing oil because it isn't properly hydrated. Pick one that's oil-free.

Skin Type: Dry
Skin feels tight and rough and sometimes flakes or turns red from irritation.
What to Do: Soothe and nourish skin with a face cleanser that has hydrating essential oils. A gentle scrub used a few times a week will help skin shed dead, flaky cells. A rich moisturizer, plus a a weekly hydration mask, will boost your natural glow. Dry skin is a hotbed for fine lines and wrinkles, so look for products labeled as antiagers.
Skin Type: Normal
Skin has an even tone and texture and pores are small.
What to Do:Find a routine that works and stick with it. Use a general cleanser and moisturizer daily and exfoliate a few times a week to prevent the buildup of dead skin.
Skin Type: Sensitive
Skin is easily irritated by products and prone to occasional breakouts or rashes.
What to Do:
Prevent irritation by sticking with gentle products that are fragrance-free and have all-natural ingredients. Skip the tough scrubs, too.
Skin Type: Combination
Forehead, nose, and chin areas tend to be oily, while cheeks and eyes are dry.
What to Do:Follow the basic guidelines for normal skin, but add a weekly clay mask to just the oily T-zone areas. Use a heavier eye cream under the eyes and on cheeks and a lighter moisturizer for the rest of the face.

5 Days To Natural Looking Skin | MySkin.com
Every woman wants seductively supple skin, no matter how old she is or what she does for a living. The problem that most 20-somethings face is that they aren’t used to having to work to get their skin smooth and soft. Every teenage girl in the world has a natural glow to her skin, but that fades right at the beginning of the second life-decade. What can you do? Spend a week getting back on track. Here is a five day guide to natural looking skin.
Day 1 – Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a process that takes off all the dead skin cells lurking on the surface of your face. Once these are gone, new skin cells will grow in their place. This process takes a couple days to complete, but it will eventually lead to a completely new layer of soft skin to feel. That’s why it’s best to stick this step at the beginning of the week so your skin has time to adjust.
Day 2 – Exercise
Believe it or not, you need to try to exercise your facial muscles just like you would any other muscle in your body. This is going to keep your skin firm, and it will encourage circulation in your face. The lazy (bet effective) way to do this is to buy a machine that basically does the work for you. You put it on your cheeks and let the vibrating pulses from it give your skin a workout. To do things the old fashioned way though, just spend about a half hour moving around all the different muscles in your face and when you start to feel sore, stop for the day.
Day 3 – Oil Treatment
Using a warm oil treatment will allow your skin to reestablish some of the moisture it needs to stay soft. There are a million different products out there that can help you do this, and you can even make some on your own. The key here is to look for natural products that are infused with vitamin K and vitamin E. These nutrients are great for skin, and they should plump yours right back up.
Day 4 – Mint Mask
What girl doesn’t like getting a mint mask treatment? Sure, it makes your skin stiff when it’s on, but then you get to feel the cool rush of exfoliated pores and cleanliness. You can use a mint mask from a bottle, or you could make one on your own. You could even splurge and go to the spa for one, depending on what your schedule looks like. The cucumber eye-covers aren’t required, but they could be a nice touch!
Day 5 – Rest
Your skin needs rest just as much as you do. Use this fifth day just to give it a break. Don’t wear any makeup, and try to get as much sleep as possible. Your body will do the work for you at that point.
Additional Tips
In addition to the steps mentioned above, you need to make sure you wash and moisturize your face on a daily basis. Wear minimal makeup to avoid clogging your pores, and protect your face with simple sun screen. Avoid stressful events that can make you restless, and sleep as much as you can at night. If you can do all of that, then you’ll have super natural skin in less than a week.

What's the latest craze in sunless tanning? Tattoo Tans! | by Kona Tanning Company
What's the latest craze in sunless tanning? Tattoo tans. We're trying to decide what to think about this one!

Summer is coming and most of us are feeling a little pasty. What can we do that won't harm our skin? You can get an airbrushed spray tan, use self tanning lotion, self tanning spray, or a temporary body bronzer. Well, how about a tan tattoo? Wrap your bod in a big cut-out stencil (let your kids cut one out!) and, if you're lucky enough to be in an area with sunless tanning salons, toss the bathing suit and just put your stencil suit on to try this new look.
We're kidding of course ... it's kind of cool--but honestly, we're clueless as to where and how to wear it. Halloween? We're thinking of just sticking with the ol' tried and true, a flawless, head to toe, even bronze.

Kona Katie's New Year's Resolution: Be Better to My Skin!
One of my New Year's Resolutions is to be better to my body. First: my largest organ, my SKIN! I already spray tan, so I'm going to find the perfect sunscreen for my super-sensitive complexion, and get regular facials with TLC. Someone told me about a gentle sunscreen called Ocean Potion, which can be found at local surf shops. Has anyone out there tried it?

Travelers Rejoice, "Bon Voyage Pasty Skin!" as Kona Tanning Company Launches Travel-Sized Bronzing Spray in a Bottle
IRVINE, CA, January 05, 2011 -- We all know that an airbrushed spray tan is a healthy alternative to traditional tanning booths and extended exposure to harmful UV rays, as long as you can find a tanning color that produces a natural looking bronze. Now pasty travelers that used to be geographically out of reach of a signature Kona Tanning treatment can also receive their luxurious, odorless glow in a convenient do-it-yourself spray bottle. Sure to be the newest must-have for the ol' suitcase, travelers agree there's nothing like beginning the vacation with a tan, ridding fresh arrivals of that pesky first day ritual: building a base tan. So what will travelers do with this newfound freed up time at the beginning of their vacations? The possibilities are endless! It's like having an extra day added to your vacation! And to think, it all started when the famous Kona formula was bottled in 1-ounce and 4-ounce travel-sized containers called Kona Tanning Spritzers, for sunless tanning away from the salon. Kona Spritzers can also be used to extend existing sunless tanning treatments, saturating incoming fresh skin cells to maintain a sunless tan indefinitely. Each key ingredient in the Kona Tanning House Blend tanning solution is specially formulated to provide even, consistent skin tone, particularly to people with skin imperfections such as freckles, varicose veins, bruises, stretch marks, cellulite, scars, and broken blood vessels, by minimizing and camouflaging in an odorless glow that lasts a week. Even those who are prohibited from sun exposure can now enjoy a radiant sunless tan, that doesn't require scheduling and won't break the bank.
Makeup artists and service providers alike have already been utilizing this tanning solution to produce beautiful golden undertones in a variety of skin types, and on clients seeking a polished, head-to-toe coverage, everyday. Airbrush tanning with the Kona Tanning House Blend allows for a more trusted and enjoyable tanning experience, sans the traditional challenges associated with spray tans, that can leave clients feeling skeptical and unsatisfied.
Like many great companies, Kona Tanning Company began in the kitchen. In 2005, an enterprising young couple named Katie and Kenny returned home from their Hawaiian honeymoon, tired of striking out with tanning beds and smelly spray tans that didn't compliment redheaded Katie's fair skin and freckles. They decided to customize a formula just for Katie, and then went one step further by adding skin nourishing ingredients and extracts. Their efforts to create the best sunless tanning products available, solidified a Kona Tan as a security blanket for those continuously in the public eye, fashion and media tastemakers, and those within distance of a Kona Tanning studio. The most notable Kona Tans were seen on the Victoria's Secret runway at their latest nationally televised fashion show. Kona Tanning products are made by sunless tanners for sunless tanners.

About Kona Tanning Company:
Kona Tanning Company believes in focusing on one area of expertise to be the best at it. For them, it's sunless airbrushed tanning. In 2005, newlywed owners Katie and Kenny Quinn created their famous homemade mix of tanning solution, the Kona Tanning House Blend, out of their kitchen in Orange County, California. Since then, they have applied that gorgeous Kona Color on famous faces for editorials, television, film, red carpet appearances, and even the exclusive Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Their popularity with fashion and media tastemakers skyrocketed the Kona Tanning House Blend internationally, and today it can be found in luxury spray tanning salons worldwide. Out of personal necessity, the Quinns have single handedly raised the bar for sunless skincare, merging health, beauty and glamour into one perfectly bronzed package, called a Kona Tan. They have developed their own products and techniques, fine-tuning Katie's talents under some of the world's top makeup artists and fitness legends. Until 2010, Katie was also the Staff Beauty Director at Amour Creole Magazine, and she now prides herself on being able to quickly identify products that work, and products that don't.
