Ageing is a privilege.
The beautiful, well-earned lines etched into the skin that have years of stories to tell. That privilege and authenticity is something we never want to take away.
However, with mature skin can also come very small annoyances: dryer patches and crepiness that can show up more obviously with makeup.
As we know, the right skin prep is essential for creating a hydrated and smooth base for makeup to sit better and leave a radiant finish that lasts longer.
Award-winning makeup expert Amanda Ramsay celebrated for her expertise in makeup for over 40s, takes us through some of her favourite skin prep products for those mature skins who need a little extra help with making their complexions look fresher and glowier!
So if you’re someone who is struggling with dry patches or makeup longevity, Amanda is here to help and as she tells us in her YouTube video below, the extra effort you put into prepping, the longer your makeup will last…
Night Before Prep:
1. A Plumping Mask.
Amanda’s tip is starting your skin prep the night before or in her words: “Go to bed like a glazed doughnut” to ensure plump, hydrated skin for makeup application the next day.
Amanda's pick: The Jojoba Company Pure Jojoba Gel Mask 50ml. “Slather yourself in this delicious lightweight, cooling gel mask and your skin will be plump and glorious the next morning.” says Amanda.
“Beautiful for all skin types. All that crepiness and dryness - gone.”
