Health Skin Care Beauty

I have decided, in my imminent wisdom and ultimate authority, that I’m going to be quirky and set this series up so it follows the way I apply my own makeup: from the skin out.  That calls for: moisturizer, base, eyes and eyebrows, cheeks, powder, lips.  That’s probably wrong, but hey, it all comes out the same and you can always rearrange those steps if it suits you better.

I do, however, think moisturizer is an important first step, because I don’t know about you all, but I get seriously dry skin in the winter.  I mean, it makes my makeup look terrible and it doesn’t seem to get better, no matter what moisturizer I use.  It’s like, no matter what, my foundation looks like I’ve just smeared it all over some really dry skin.

In trying to find an effective solution — and coming to terms with the fact that I’m officially in my mid twenties and it’s never too early to start taking care of my skin — I stumbled upon Murad Resurgence.  I was actually looking at it while thinking of my mom, but upon reading through the product descriptions and realizing that you can even get a spot treatment to deal with acne, I got interested myself.  After all, I have to admit to myself that those dark bruises I’m carrying around my eyes, while cool while I was in college and could boast of insomnia while acting like the quintessential Bohemian girl, aren’t really going away.

Anyway, I’m wondering if a more comprehensive skin care system wouldn’t help me not to look like a dry-skin-monster wearing foundation.  I guess this is actually me asking for winter makeup tips, but!  Next week, we are going to eye shadow — and for the Skincare Lady, I will definitely be digging up some awesome new looks!
