Why should you double cleanse?

Why should you double cleanse?

Are you watering a dead plant? We know how futile THAT is right? Clean skin not only enables your serums and moisturisers to be more effective, using the right products to double cleanse can do a whole lot more. Oily skin and combo skin girlies listen up. The benefits of a double cleanse: 1. Replenishes essential lipids, oils and prevents moisture loss (when you use the right formula cleansers for you) 2. Removes sunscreen, and even waterproof/ heavy duty makeup 3. Helps to balance oil production without depleting your skins natural oils (that it needs to function and repair) * when you choose the right formula for your skin! 4. Improves skin texture and treats your skin * when you choose the right formula There’s a theme to this isn’t there? The key is to not strip your skin of essential oils it actually needs to balance, repair and heal. 🔗 I’ve linked these Beauties from La Mav Organic below The Marula Cleansing Oil - only catch, you’ll be addicted it’s amazing for ALL skin types!

Makeup made easy how to get a more even skin tone that glows

Sometimes less really is more. Prioritisng a more even skin tone that glows, and pairing it with a fresh pop of peach blush and a defined brow can be all a girl needs this time of year. I'm 51 and sun damaged, my skin is healthy but it is far from perfect. This is makeup made easy.

I’ve tried & tested all the products in my online shop on hundreds of different faces, skin textures, skin tones, skin types, age groups to choose the right products for you. Plus as a professional makeup artist, I’ve worked alongside industry insiders and experts, using thousands of makeup and skincare formulas over the past 20 years, so I know how to spot an awesome formula that will nourish and flatter your mature skin - I know what I’m talking about!

Mixing delivers a super fresh, moisturized finish, that glows - great for combo/normal/dry skin. 💚The Mii Cosmetics Forever Eye crayon suits all skin types, she’s a stay all day eyeshadow crayon that will change your eyeshadow game forever - and she doesn’t have the nasty PFA’s forever chemicals found in most Longwear products! 💚 Runway Room’s Peach Punch mineral cream blush is an all rounder too, she suits all skin types and is a clean, mineral, skin loving blush that packs a colour punch. Instant complexion lifter! 💚 Lengthened and fuller looking fluttery lashes with the mii Cosmetics Feature Length Lash Lover mascara 💚 Defined brows using the mii Cosmetics Beautifying Brow Wand , she does all the hard work for you, makes creating fluffy defined brows a dream.

Makeup That Makes You Feel Good over 50

Makeup that makes you feel good is the aim of the game. A lightweight luminous liquid foundation, that you can build to a medium coverage, and keep skin looking like skin, it's your skin but better. Layered over a hydrating and luminous primer, that's also packed with mature-skin loving ingredients like 2% hyaluronic acid and white sapphire delivers a pearlised finish to your skin ... I'll often wear this alone on off duty days. Slick on a juicy lipgloss, that has a delicate shimmer through it, for plumper looking lips. This beautiful velvety textured gloss is not sticky. Three simple products that you can use on high rotation everyday. You'll find these three products in the Amanda Ramsay Online Shop, https://shop.amandaramsay.com.au/ your home for all things makeup and skincare for women aged 40 plus.
