When you're working with celebrities who are jet-setting across the globe, working long hours or under the lights, camera and action of the red carpet, knowing a few skin care hacks is just a part of the job.
We asked one of Hollywood's ultimate glamourizers, makeup artist Tina Turnbow, to give us a few of her favorite easy beauty tips.
These hacks not only help skin stay red carpet-ready but are also great suggestions for hydration, protection, anti-aging and preventative care.
Hydrate and De-puff: One of the fastest ways to help de-puff the skin is by getting the circulation going. I like to prep skin by massaging it well with cool fingertips and a creamy moisturizer. Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream is nice; it can help leave the skin smooth for a seamless makeup application.
Under-Eye: Applying under-eye treatment patches is helpful for smoothing and plumping lines or limiting dehydration. Finding patches with retinol or cornflower is wonderful for helping to soothe the under-eye area. They're even better when kept in the refrigerator for extra de-puffing.
DIY: My mom was really into skin care and was an aesthetician at one point. She has some great DIY skin practices. Every night she would pop a natural vitamin E oil capsule and apply it all over her face. She would also make masks, usually plain yogurt and a bit of honey. Sometimes she would use leftover avocado and mash it up with olive oil. She sometimes walked around with egg white on her face, which was very firming.
Mists: Mists are great! Not only for the aromatherapy, but they help purify and close pores. They set makeup and also help the makeup look less artificial.
Easy Exfoliation: Rough and scaly skin is not the ultimate surface to apply foundation. I like using exfoliating pads. They gently help sweep away dead skin cells and polish, helping to leave skin smooth and radiant.
