Halloween Skin Tricks & Treats: Your Guide to a Flawless Glow

Halloween is almost here!  Time to express ourselves creatively whether with treats for the trick or treaters or through our costumes or makeup looks for the day.  Halloween continues to evolve for makeup beauty lovers and we all know that a great makeup look starts with a great skin.  

Here are a few tips for setting a great base for your most spooktacular self: 

1. I know you know this one but here it is – drink water. Your outer appearance suffers if you don’t look after yourself inside. Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated and this will give your skin a chance to look and feel refreshed.
2. Cleanse your skin - use a gentle cleanser specifically for your skin type. 
3. Exfoliate your skin. There’s no point in adding layers of makeup on top of dead skin cells – yes, I know that sounds gross but it’s true! Gently scrub your skin with skin friendly exfoliating ingredients to smooth your skin and remove dirt.  
4. Pamper your skin to with our amazing intensely hydrating Gold Collagen^® Hydrogel Mask, perfect for reviving dehydrated and tired-looking skin. With its carefully selected ingredients including antioxidants and hyaluronic acid, it will support your skin’s natural renewal process for a radiant and healthy glow. It's a great trick to have up your sleeve for easier application of makeup. 
5. Treat your skin and add a specialty serum to your skin prep routine.  Our Night Renwal Serum offers Bakuchiol, nature's alternative to Retinol.  Where our Hydra Essence Serum has 8x hyaluronic acid for immediate plumping and glow.  And for that ethereal good witch glow, try our Instant Glow Serum.  It may be applied both under or over makeup for a quick glow up. 
6. Always use primer! Think of primer as a protective layer between your skin and your makeup, it also reduces the appearance of pores, so your makeup looks flawless. Allow the primer to dry and then apply moisturiser and then you can go crazy with your makeup.
7. Your beauty regime should always include a moisturiser that is best suited for your skin type. If you do not have dry skin, opt for an oil-free moisturiser that will keep your skin hydrated and is great in helping to create a base for your make-up.

TIP: If your lips are going to be centre stage of your Halloween look then, for a smoother pout you need to use Gold Collagen^® Anti-Ageing Lip Volumiser for fuller looking lips.
