This beauty trick has been practised in Japan for centuries, and is the reason why many of them have flawless, crystal-clear skin. If you’re not familiar with the term, double cleansing is exactly what it sounds like – cleansing twice.

If you’re not familiar with the term, double cleansing is exactly what it sounds like – cleansing twice. The first cleanse with makeup remover helps to strip away water-resistant cosmetics and sunscreen, and the second rinse with facial wash helps to truly purify and deep clean your mien.
This meticulous regime ensures that your pores are free of any impurities, allowing the skin to better absorb the rest of your skincare products.
Sheer Magic
If you pine for an “unmakeup” foundation that melts into your skin for a creamy, high-beam complexion, your wish has been granted. Thanks to breakthrough technologies like soft- focus powders and light-reflecting prisms, these weightless formulas completely conceal your imperfections while leaving the appearance of being nearly naked.
“Women these days work really hard on their skin,” says Dell Ashley, the director of makeup artistry for YSL Beauty, “so they want to show it off, not cover it up.” Wear one of these liquids to look like the best version of yourself – smooth and natural, yet expertly retouched.
Skin Protector
Astaxanthin, a naturally derived ingredient from microalgae, is the key active in Astarism Facial Serum Skin Care Base ($34.95, www.astavita-shop.myshopify.com).
As a powerful antioxidant, it helps to protect skin against environmental damage, and also promotes skin cell renewal and collagen production. The small molecular size of the active ingredients also allows the formula to penetrate into the deeper layers of your skin.
Use this silky concoction daily after cleansing to maintain a healthy, youthful complexion.
