Our skin is more than our shell; it’s our storyteller. It gives clues to our heritage, our passions, and our travels in this journey called life. Every laugh line, every scar, every freckle reveals something about who we are and how we’ve lived. When folks say beauty is only skin deep, we might want to pause and respond. Yes indeed, but skin is also deep; it’s wondrous, wonderful, and says so much.
A gorgeously radiant and supple complexion is an outstanding feature to focus on. Whether we’re young or advanced in years, we can honor our skin and help it look its best with loving care and the right makeup. From milk-chocolate mahogany to peaches and cream porcelain, every skin tone and type can and should be celebrated.
In my experience, however, skin is a focal point of complaint for most women. I can almost hear you, dear reader, criticizing your own hardworking epidermis. Well, let’s get those beefs out in the open so we can bury ’em and move on!
First, pore obsession has become utterly insane and is a poor use of our energies. It’s as if women have started removing their bathroom sinks so they can get an inch from the mirror to find these “flawed” little openings in the skin. Companies are all too happy to respond to this madness with hot scrubs, harsh stripping tapes, and other crazy treatments to unblock or shrink pores. Ladies, nobody sees the trouble here but you. Step back and stop it already! A regular cleansing routine is all your pores want and need. On behalf of pores everywhere, hear their plea: Leave us be!

Second, age-related changes command too much of our time and attention. As adolescents, breakouts break our spirits; as adults, fine lines and unevenness get tracked on an unkind scorecard in a game we should refuse to play. I mean, honestly, if we live, we change. Your skin’s texture will evolve with every decade, so how about we try some acceptance and relax? Focus on loving the skin you’re in right now, and I guarantee you’ll look and feel better.
Embracing your complexion includes finding the right products to showcase its creamy dreaminess. Today’s cosmetics are better than ever at boosting luminosity and helping you create a
flawless backdrop for the rest of your fantastic features. Playing up your skin and leaving the rest of your makeup simple and natural can be such a sophisticated statement. And what an amazing testament to your confidence!
Here’s the skinny on how to make it happen. . .
