To calm an angry, red blemish cleanse face then spot treat with salicylic acid using the paste outlined below: (If you are allergic to aspirin do not use this remedy) Crush 4-5 aspirin in a bowl then add a small amount of hot water and mix to create a paste. Using a q-tip, apply paste to blemish for 1-2 hours allowing it to penetrate and dry out the pimple. Rinse off and wrap a piece of ice in cheesecloth or put in a small zip lock bag and apply to blemish for up to 10 minutes using light pressure to reduce swelling. Follow with a light application of an oil-free moisturizer followed by a silicone based primer. Apply a normal application of foundation and if additional coverage is needed, apply a dot of concealer to blemish. (Don’t over apply foundation or concealer which will bring attention to blemish and make it more noticeable) Once you have finished applying your makeup, lightly dust a finely milled finishing powder such as Mirabella’s Perfecting Powder all over face to create a soft focus finish and minimize the appearance of blemishes and fine lines.

Treat seasonal allergies which can cause blood vessels under the eyes to swell creating darkness. Rubbing itchy eyes can bruise blood vessels and cause additional darkness. Fine lines are exacerbated by dehydration. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol. Moisturize eye area immediately after showering (within 3-5 minutes). Look for eye creams that contain the following ingredients: Retinol – minimizes pores and fine lines and evens out skin tone Peptides - promotes collagen Antioxidants - prevents collagen damage Hyaluronic acid - humectant Apply eye cream before moisturizing face using your ring finger to gently pat cream around the eye area. Start on outer corner of eye working in outside working in.

One Minute Beauty Tips DIY Makeup Remover
Insider tip: Use lighter oils such as Hazel nut, apricot kernel or grapeseed if you have oily skin. (The lighter the oil is in color, the better)
Brought to you by
Removing makeup with a carrier oil based cleanser will remove oil without compromising the skin’s natural barrier lipids or clogging pores. (My fave is Dermalogica Precleanse) Suggested carrier oils: grapeseed oil, sunflower oil, apricot kernel, hazel nut, coconut and olive oil will remove makeup, sebum and environmental pollutants from the skin’s surface and allow facial cleansers to work effectively. Coconut oil or one of the lighter weight oils can be used alone but those who want a lighter weight cleanser can combine the following in a resealable container and shake well prior to each use. 8 oz of George’s Aloe Vera Water 1/3 c of grapeseed oil 2 tbs of Burt’s Bees Baby Shampoo

One Minute Beauty Tips Wear Shades If you think you should only wear sunglasses on sunny days, think again my dear. UV rays can penetrate through clouds and cause long term sun damage. UV rays cause the break down of elastin fibers which leads to saggy, droopy skin, especially around the eye area where skin is naturally thinner and prone to damage. Wear sunglasses anytime you are outside to prevent repetitive squinting which leads to fine lines, wrinkles and crows feet Did you know? TV personality, Anderson Cooper, was temporarily blinded while filming a news segment on the water off the coast of Portugal on a cloudy day without sunglasses
