Cleansing clears away impurities and excess oil that can clog pores and dull skin. Be gentle. If you have dry or sensitive skin, try washing only at night and rinsing your face with water in the morning.
Toner can help ensure your skin is totally clean. Its main purpose is to prep the skin to allow skincare products to absorb deeper.
A serum tailored to your skin concerns can both treat and protect, delivering concentrated amounts of powerful ingredients that can prevent and address different skincare issues.
When applying in the morning and at night, lightly tap on a formula targeted to your eye-area concerns using your ring finger (your weakest) to avoid tugging on this delicate area and causing damage.
Moisturizing keep your skin soft and hydrated and help strengthen its barrier. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, opt for a lighter moisturizer during the daytime, such as a lotion or gel that will absorb quickly and won’t pill under makeup. If your skin is dry, try a thicker formula, like a cream.
Smooth on a nickel-sized dollop of broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher face sunscreen as the last step, including on your neck and the backs of your hands, 30 minutes before you head outside.
Just imagine dust, smoke, fumes and other harmful elements getting into your body. Your skin is the natural barrier that protects you from all these hazardous factors and it is just right that you protect your skin by taking good care of it.
It helps your skin stay in good condition: You’re shedding skin cells throughout the day, so it’s important to keep your skin glowing and in good condition. An effective routine can help prevent acne, treat wrinkles, and help keep your skin looking its best.
Prevention is easier than correction: Preventing skin problems is easier — and less costly – than trying to fix them in the future.
Your self-confidence will get a boost: When your skin looks better, you’ll feel better about yourself and have more self-confidence.
Developing a habit can take about 21 days. Imagine if you can develop the habit of taking care of your skin, it can also help you establish other healthy routines.
Apply the first cleanser. Your first cleansing oil or balm will be your makeup remover. It can also remove sunscreen and eye makeup like mascara. Take care while rinsing off the cleanser to avoid getting any of these products in your eyes, which will cause irritation. Apply the cleanser in circular motions with your hands or a washcloth.
Rinse the first cleanser off. Use a face wash or lukewarm water to rinse off your first cleanser.
Apply a washcloth to your face to clean off your makeup. Aim to remove all makeup residue and excess buildup on your skin.
Use the second cleanser. After you complete the first cleanse, it’s time to start the second. The second round is primarily for exfoliating and hydrating your skin, as well as unclogging any pores. Rub this cleanser into your face the same way you did with the first, but use a clean washcloth if you use one at all. Seek out facial cleansers featuring antioxidants, healthy acids, or essential oils to help nourish your skin more directly than you’d be able to with just one initial cleanse.
Wash the second cleanser off. Remove the second layer with water or face wash. After this additional infusion of skin hydration, this will complete both your second cleanse and the double-cleanse process in general.
Woodley’s wisdom? Reduce waste with hand-me-down beauty products; find inspiration — any time of day — with a sip of scotch.
By Angelique Serrano Photo Credit: Mary RozziActress Shailene Woodley talks through her style evolution, and explains how her love for natural remedies all began. Ever heard of a product-swapping circle? It’s her genius idea which ensures that she and her friends never let a single beauty product go to waste. If a virtual happy hour is more your socializing speed, the Big Little Lies star has some killer cocktails to recommend.
You’ve been developing some new skills during quarantine and sharing your progress on Instagram. Have you mastered Rollerblading yet?
“Not yet! [laughs] I’m trying to figure out how to stop. That’s my only issue; otherwise it’s great! I’m attempting to slow down a bit. My form of self-care has been prioritizing what feels good in my life. In America it’s easy to feel like if we’re not working 24/7, then we’re depriving ourselves of some type of purpose — when in reality it’s the opposite.”
You’ve also been hosting some virtual happy hours. What have you been toasting with every night?
“Some nights, hopefully, it’s just water. But when I do drink, it changes: Mezcal is the cure to make everything seem brighter, more lively. Red wine is my cozy-blanket buddy. Scotch is my forever muse. And if I need to detox and retox at the same time, my friends and I will be extra “Los Angeles”and make kombucha gin and tonics. Plus, as I learned when I was living in Paris, rosé is basically water, so she’s my midday hang.”
“In my early 20s I was devoted to simplicity, and that’s what brought me joy. I’d wear some mascara with the same clothes every week. But years later, living in Paris had a huge impact on me in terms of style. I’m from Los Angeles, where you can go to the grocery store in your pajamas and it’s no big deal But if you walk into a Parisian grocery store wearing sweats, you’re looked down on.
Paris really helped me redefine what I’d call the chic side of myself. It made me want to learn about fashion.”
Shailene Woodley is scared of love — but not much else.
From the perspective of L.A. to Paris and back again, how would you define your style?
“I feel like I’m regressing. I’m really comfortable in Chuck Taylors, Levi’s, and a white T-shirt. But there is nothing sexier than a Parisian woman. I mean, French women know how to do life. [laughs]”
You studied herbalism years ago. Do you still like mixing up tinctures and potions?
“I do. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to, but now I’m back in the witches’ brew world. Ten years ago, when I started talking about this stuff, no one knew what Chaga mushrooms were. Now you can go to any grocery store and find natural supplements with amazing herbs.”
You were also an early connoisseur of natural deodorants.
“I know — I really missed out there, man. I could have made some money! I used to get made fun of when I spoke about these things in public, and now people are spending $50 a pop on a nicely packaged natural product. The reason I had so much passion [about natural alternatives] is because they work.”
When it comes to beauty, are there certain essentials you always come back to?
“I found a Juice Beauty cleanser at a healthfood store, and I’ve been using it for about eight years now. I like a mix of things; right now it’s Ben & Anna’s unscented natural deodorant and the Omorovicza face oil and overnight cream. But I’m not attached to any one product. My friends and I will get things, and if they don’t work for our own hair or skin, we’ll ship them to another friend. That way we’re not wasting anything.”
