Luckily, with the right shampoo and conditioner, the right moisturizing treatments, and a few pieces of hair advice, you can keep your locks smooth and moisturized all winter.

Skin sensitivities can vary a lot from person to person, and their causes are often very hard to pin down. That’s why it can be difficult to know when a formulation that claims to be made just for your skin’s type and sensitivity level is actually going to deliver. Luckily, there are a few strategies you can use to narrow the search down. If your skin sensitivity is light enough, sticking to these options might be all you need to do to enjoy foundation, concealer, and color correction that also soothes your skin and supports its health.
Merry parties, late nights, harsh cold air, and fantasy make-up share two things: they are popular during the last quarter of the year and they are also terrible for your skin. Whether it was an excessive amount of cocktails or the unusually amount of foundation your costume required, it’s likely that your complexion will need some help the day after Halloween or Christmas.

Dandruff is an embarrassing affliction, since shoulders and arms covered in white flakes often give the impression of poor personal hygiene. Basic products claiming to be the best anti-dandruff shampoo are easy to find in any neighborhood convenience store, but if you’re among the many people who battle resilient or chronic dandruff, then it’s likely that supermarket brands simply won’t cut it.

If you suffer from sensitive skin, then it’s likely you simply can’t afford the luxury of buying whatever moisturizer or foundation on sale for the week. Sensitive skin care products need to be carefully chosen, as any odd ingredient or excessively heavy texture may immediately trigger a dozen new zits or a few days looking.
The smooth but discreet finish of a tinted moisturizer can help you master the “nude” look
Hidden in the shelves behind foundation and sunblock, even the best tinted moisturizer can be overlooked by many amateur beauticians. However, their usefulness is undeniable.

It seemed like until relatively recently, any make-up aficionado’s answer to achieve a smooth and even toned complexion was to simply choose the right shade of foundation – and then apply it liberally. However, in this age of artificial lights, constant selfies, and close scrutiny, color correcting make up has grown into a true art form.

For many lucky people, acne is the bane of their middle school years and nothing more. During these awkward years, moisturizing is rarely a priority, as some schools don’t allow makeup and the task of preventing wrinkles seems a lifetime away.
