Make sure your skin is glowing in the party season
With the all-important Christmas party season quickly sneaking up on us Caroline Frazer, Simple Skincare Expert and Celebrity Make-Up Artist, shares her insider beauty secrets for gorgeous skin that will glow under the mistletoe.
Caroline’s step-by-step party skin masterclass:
1. Start by exfoliating your face and body in the shower a week or two in advance. Exfoliating will clear dead skin cells, stimulate circulation and bring oxygen to the surface of the skin, leaving you fresh faced; it’s also brilliant for helping to banish cellulite. Use the Simple Kind To Skin Smoothing Facial Scrub 75ml two or three times before the party as it contains tiny rice granules that gently exfoliate and brighten skin.
2. Get to work on reducing those puffy eye bags by using an eye cream, a roll-on serum or my favourite trick of applying a compress of ice water or very cold milk directly over your closed eyelids and leaving on for 15 to 20 minutes. If that seems a bit messy try the Simple Kind To Eyes Revitalising Eye Roll-On 15ml, containing aloe vera and cucumber extracts, as it’s amazing for reducing the size of your eye bags.
3. Have the Simple Spotless Skin Rapid Action Spot Zapper on hand to tackle any nasty blemishes that threaten to steal the limelight on the run up to the big party.
4. Get lots of sleep! It may sound obvious but the more sleep we get, the more time our skin cells have repair and regenerate, which is absolutely crucial for a healthy complexion.
5. On the day of the party it’s vital to create the perfect base for make-up by channelling one of the years key beauty trends; youthful, glowing and illuminated skin. The Simple Radiance Brightening Moisturiser SPF10 50ml is my top tip for cheating your way to a brighter complexion. Formulated with Mango goodness and light-reflecting particles, it helps to visibly brighten the skin. Apply all over then dab a little extra onto cheek bones, Cupid’s bow and the bridge of the nose to subtly highlight. The particles reflect light off the face to help flatter the skin and give a soft focus effect.
6. Once your make-up is complete finish with a quick spirtz of face mist to add a dewy sheen to skin. The Simple Kind To Skin Moisture Boost Hydro Mist Spray 50ml is formulated with Lotus Flower and absorbs quickly giving tired, dry and dull skin an instant boost of hydration – helping it glow throughout the party. The added goodness of Glycerin, Pro-Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E helps to moisturise and soothe skin.
