Bold Beauty with Beth

Who has a birthday this month and wants me to bring donuts to your free pampering session? You can invite your girlfriends and if you’d like, we can set it up for y’all to come to my home studio 💕

✨✨✨Settle in and find out why you definitely need my brush cleaner & cleansing bar for your makeup brushes ✨✨✨

This is one of the most important reasons to wash your makeup brushes. Every time you use your makeup brushes to apply product to your skin, you’re caking the bristles in product as well as oil, dirt, and other residue from your skin.

Makeup brushes that have a buildup of powder or liquid product residue or oil and dirt they’ve picked up from your skin can spread germs and bacteria around your face when used again without being washed. This bacteria can clog your pores, irritate your skin, and create a fresh crop of acne on your face that could have been fully prevented if you’d washed your brushes in the first place.

When makeup brushes are caked with natural residue from powder, cream, and liquid makeup products, their bristles get dry and rough when the product dries. Then, when you try to use the brushes again, it feels like scouring your skin with the rough side of a sponge.

Not only is this uncomfortable, it’s harmful to the texture and appearance of your skin. Scrubbing your face with a dirty makeup brush-turned-brillo pad can irritate your skin and permanently roughen its texture. It can also eat away at the natural protective layering of your skin and cause your skin to lose some of its natural brightness and appear dull. Plus, scrubbing your face with a rough makeup brush can be painful and increase the sensitivity of your skin.

If you knew you could get diseases from using a dirty makeup brush, you probably wouldn’t be so keen to skip weekly washings. Herpes and conjunctivitis (pink eye) are just two of the nasty bacterial infections which can lay in wait, nestled invisibly within the bristles of unwashed makeup brushes.

Herpes and conjunctivitis can grow within the dark, moist environments of your mascara and lip product tubes. (Which is the main reason why we recommend replacing after 3 months) You might not think about cleaning the spoolie attached to your mascara tube or the wand in your liquid lipstick, but these brushes need to be washed just like any other brush in your collection. Dangerous bacteria can multiply on them after use and lead to the development of bacterial infections and diseases which are especially unpleasant to contract in the delicate regions of skin near your eyes and lips.

Using a dirty makeup brush that has been previously used to apply makeup products in other colors can cause a blotchy, discolored appearance in your makeup look. Even if you wipe off the brush before using it with a different color, residue from the color you previously used likely remains.

Skin Sin #6
Not extending the amazingness of your skin care products beyond your face...Your skin in the neck and décolletage area is thinner than the skin in your face and loses firmness with age. Since the skin on your neck isn’t really connected to any muscles or tissue and it’s in constant movement, lines and wrinkles are deeper as the skin loosens with age.

These areas are often overlooked for SPF care, as well. Our Day Creams with SPF should be applied to the neck and chest areas in the mornings as we’re getting ready for the day.

💥News Flash💥
All of the scrolling, texting, reading we do on our phones...I think someone said we check our phones, on average, every 12 minutes 😳—well, guess what?! That’s only increasing the deep lines and sagging 🤷🏻‍♀️—another reason to decrease phone usage (and yes, this applies to me, too!!)

The heat from the shower makes our skin's oils soften, just like how butter softens and melts when heated. Add some soap into the mix, and the skin's oil barrier will be stripped away in no time. Granted, this isn't an altogether bad thing; that same oil barrier traps dirt and sweat, which leads to body odor. Still, without those oils, the moisture in your skin easily escapes, leading to dry and itchy skin. The longer and hotter the shower, the faster this process takes place and the more moisture you're likely to lose.

So, skip the scalding hot showers, try to apply moisturizer as soon as you get out of the shower; the longer you wait, the more moisture will escape. Moisturizers act as a temporary replacement for your skin's natural oils and prevent moisture from leaving the skin.

I love to use our Satin Body Shea Lotion right after my shower ... it’s formulated with luscious shea butter and enhanced with vitamin E, feels luxurious and provides immediate relief for dryness 🌸

Step 1) Wash away the day...makeup, spf, sweat, dirt, grime, pollution, bacteria 🥴

Step 2) Now cleanse your actual skin, getting deeper into your pores to remove impurities, prepping your face for the next steps in your skincare routine 💕

When it comes to sun protection, one of the most common misconceptions is that you don't need to wear it indoors. Unfortunately, that's not true — not even a little bit.

Experts agree that sun exposure is the leading cause of skin aging, and that one of the safest and most effective ways to protect skin is by using a broad spectrum sunscreen as part of a daily regimen.

In addition to working as an antioxidant to help neutralize free radicals on skin as all 3D® products do, TimeWise® Age Minimize 3D® Day Cream SPF 30 Broad Spectrum Sunscreen also provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection.

Our Sunscreen is also Broad Spectrum & SPF 50–can be used on your face and body.

I always teach an easy way to make exfoliating an unconscious habit by recommending Wednesday’s and weekends as exfoliating days....full body exfoliation—face, lips, body, feet!

My typical makeup look is almost a natural look, but I love makeup! Let me tell ya, when I didn’t have a good skincare routine, I actually HATED wearing makeup. It just seemed to highlight my large pores, dark circles and bags under my eyes...not to mention my adult acne...

But good skincare isn’t just to look good — with or without makeup — skin is your body's largest organ. It serves as a protective barrier between your insides and the rest of the world, helps regulate body temperature and acts as a filter.

Yep, skincare goes beyond washing that face!

Stay tuned for more.....

Did you know that September is ? When I pair my favorite Mary Kay® cleanser (currently using VoluFirm Foaming Cleanser) with the Skinvigorate SonicTM Skin Care System, my complexion benefits from 60 seconds of superior clean!

My skin feels so much cleaner than if I just wash with my hands or a cloth. My favorite part of this system is having three levels of cleansing intensity to choose from on any given day!

What is your fav cleanser?!
