It looks shiny and the makeup just slips on it but the key to this is working on your routine by knowing the best creams, cleansers, scrubs, or other products for your skin and knowing the things that you must and must not do to help you improve it.

Check out some Dos and Don’ts below:

DOS:

  • Apply sunscreen everyday because too much sun exposure causes acne.
  • In choosing the right makeup, choose products for powders, concealers, and foundations that are labeled “shine-free” or mattifying and those that are “smudge-proof”, “crease-proof” and ”budge-proof”.
  • Always clean the brushes and sponges you use in putting your makeup.
