“Bright Ideas” by Mimi Tran, Makeup Artist

Illuminating from Within
Don’t have time for a facial? Does your skin look a little dull and tired?
Try these ideas to instantly liven up your skin:

1. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser using a facial brush (the brush could be manual or electronic). Although not my usual recommendation, you can use a small wash cloth if a facial brush is not available.
   Note: Using a wash cloth does not give as gentle or pore cleansing effect as using a brush would do for you.
2. Use serums/concentrates and moisturizers that contain elements like AHA or glycolic acid which helps not only exfoliate dead skin cells, but also minimizes pores and helps prevent fine lines. If you have 30 minutes to spare, try a brightening mask that can be left on for instant gratification. Following these steps will leave your skin with a glow that looks brighter and smoother.

* Please use a UVA/UVB sunscreen daily with an SPF of at least 30 in conjunction with using any brightening or exfoliating products. Brightening products help shed dead skin cells which makes your newly rejuvenated skin more sensitive to damaging UV rays.
