Cult Classics: Your Daily Dose of Skin Care Needs An Upgrade
What do Cindy Crawford, Halle Berry, Catherine Zeta-Jones and even Sushmita Sen back home have in common? If it isn’t apparent already, we are talking about how each of these gorgeous ladies has aged like fine wine. Being in an industry where the major part of your time goes in wearing makeup, it can take a toll on your face, especially if you don’t have a skincare routine down pat. It has rightly been said that healthy skin is crucial for providing the right canvas for makeup because at the end of the day even the best foundation cannot hide the bumps on your face. And even though there’s a lot of drugstore makeup out there that you can get by with, compromising on your skin is never an option and so come into play these skin products that have been tried, tested and been given the stamp of approval by A-list celebs and makeup artists alike. So, don’t look at the hefty price tag as you invest in the gold-standard of skin care products.
The very first step to achieving healthy skin is making it a habit to clean your face and removing makeup before calling it a night. If you aren’t doing that already then, girl, you better start right this moment. Not removing your makeup before going to bed is the number one reason behind acne and oiliness and the latest fix for it is the might micellar water. Micelles which are tiny surfactants, suck away the dirt and greasiness from your face making it clean and fresh. The Bioeffect micellar water uses water from the springs of Iceland that are filtered through volcanic lava and is packed with minerals that make sure that your skin stays clean and moisturised.
