How to properly prepare my skin before makeup: 3+1 Tips!

When we think of makeup most of the times our mind goes to shadows, blushes, mascaras, lipsticks… and skin preparation comes as a second thought. A correct base is extremely important in order to avoid any breakouts or even sensitivities that might be caused from e.g., closed pores, oiliness, intense dryness etc. That’s why we’re here, to help you obtain smooth and glowing skin so that your makeup is flawless!

Facial Cleanser to start off with a “white canvas”!
Correct facial cleansing creates a “white canvas” in order to be able to continue with the rest of the products. We suggest you start with The Pure Cleansing Oil which will remove any impurities, oiliness or even germs from the skin and then continue with one of our two gels (The Toning Cleansing Gel & The Calming Cleansing Gel) for deeper cleansing. This step will prevent the accumulation of bacteria and help you maintain a healthier skin throughout the day.

Naturally, with antiseptic and soothing action – CP Facial Spray!
CP Facial Spray is the absolute summer product and especially when it’s used before makeup. This drastic product with tea tree and lavender will ensure you an ultimate clean and calm skin. In addition, due to its antibacterial nature, the CP Facial Spray will balance out oiliness in order for shine to be prevented and natural glow to be brought out. Properly hydrate your skin!

Hydrate your skin properly!
Foundations and concealers have the tendency of drying out the skin. That’s why our skin, as a defense, produces more oil than usual resulting in intense shine mainly on the nose and forehead. That’s our skin’s way of telling us it needs more hydration. At CP Herbalist we have a big range of serums and creams that will help you properly hydrate your skin according to its needs. We have noticed from friends and customers that the CP Miracle Cream is dearly loved as a base before makeup. The so-called cream deeply cleanses, shrinks pores and helps balance oiliness in the skin.

Remember the lips and eyes!
Did you know that the skin around the eyes and lips are two of the thinnest places on the whole body? Therefore, we must take care and hydrate them often and consistently. For the lips we recommend the CP Ointment which has a thick, golden texture that softens, hydrates and prepares lips for any matte or glossy product you choose to apply on. It consists of Shea butter, Macademia butter, beeswax and various other herbs that protect against bacteria and viruses while enhancing the skin regeneration process. For the sensitive eye area, we recommend the CP Eye Glory Cream which will help you properly hydrate and give a glow to your skin.

We hope these tips are useful for the next time you’ll do your makeup! What other tips do you follow to properly prepare your skin before makeup?
