About Makeup…

Makeup has been around for centuries, dating back to ancient Egypt, where both men and women used it to enhance their beauty. Fast forward to the 21st century, and makeup has become an essential part of many people's daily routines, with the average woman spending about $15,000 on makeup in her lifetime.

The global makeup market is forecasted to reach $85 billion in 2024, encompassing cosmetic makeup products like powders and creams used to enhance facial appearance.

However, despite being widely used for a long time, many people face common challenges that affect the lasting power and flawless application of makeup.

For a stable make-up:

To remove dead skin cells,
Controlling excess sebum,
Moisturizing the skin properly is important.

Lets explore the significance of exfoliation, managing excess oil, and adequate moisturizing for maintaining makeup longevity.

1 - The Importance of Exfoliation

One of the main reasons makeup often smudges and doesn't last is due to the accumulation of “dead skin cells”. These cells can result in a flaky skin texture, causing makeup to clump and not set properly, resulting in a less satisfactory outcome.

This is where exfoliation plays a crucial role.

Exfoliation, the process of removing dead skin cells, can help create a smooth, even surface for makeup.

By getting rid of this top layer of dead skin, can prevent makeup from looking patchy and help it stay on for longer.

2- Controlling Excess Oil

Another common issue that causes makeup to run is excess oil on the skin. This excess oil can break down makeup, causing it to separate and slide off face.

To control this excess oil, it is necessary to delve a little deeper into the mechanism of the skin. Rather than an “instant mattifying effect”, nature has an idea to balance sebum in skin in a controlled way and fight acne!

5α-Reductase Inhibitors: These substances prevent the conversion of testosterone to DHT, thereby reducing sebum production. Common inhibitors include natural compound like Oenothein B and punicalagins from pomegranates.

With reduced levels of DHT, sebaceous glands produce less sebum, leading to less oily skin. This can help in managing conditions like acne, as there is less oil to clog pores and provide an environment for bacterial growth.

3 - Proper Moisturizing for Makeup Longevity

Moisturizing is crucial for makeup longevity. Dry skin can cause makeup to look dull and flaky, while oily skin can cause makeup to slide off. Finding the right balance is key.

Well moisturizer and hydrating agent can hydrate skin, prevent dryness, and create a perfect canvas for makeup.

In Short..

For makeup to stay flawless and in place, exfoliation, managing excess oil, and adequate moisturizing are essential steps.

Exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells, excess oil, and other impurities, ensuring a smooth canvas for makeup.

Controlling excess oil can prevent makeup from sliding off, while proper moisturizing can help makeup stay on for longer.

So, make exfoliation, oil control, and moisturizing a part of regular skincare routine, and say goodbye to makeup that runs and doesn, stay put !

…

Have a nice and “beautiful” day!
