 If there’s one area many of us are struggling with during quarantine, it’s the beauty department. Without the ability to come into the Glaminator Beauty Bar, you may feel like your eyebrows, skin, and hair have never felt so unloved!
Fortunately, there are ways you can care for your skin and pamper yourself while you’re stuck out home. Check out our top tips to take care of your skin during the quarantine. Wash, Tone and Moisturize your Face With nothing but time on your hands right now, it’s crucial that you take care of your skin. Using clean beauty products, you should cleanse your skin both morning and night. Even if you aren’t wearing makeup during quarantine, removing the dirt and debris that accumulates throughout the day is important. Use a pH-balanced cleanser for the best results. Toning your skin helps calm it down and get it ready to accept moisturizer, the next most important step in caring for your skin. Using a clean toner helps balance your skin, giving it an even tone, which you’ll appreciate once you are out and about again! Moisturizing helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Did you know that dry skin breaks out even more than moisturized skin? Your skin traps the debris and dirt that flies through the air, which then creates the perfect basis for acne. Don’t forget sunscreen! Yes, even when you’re staying inside, if you have windows, you get sun exposure. Use a light SPF moisturizer every morning to protect your delicate skin. Take Care of your Body The skin over your entire body needs some TLC during this time too, especially your hands. How many times a day do you wash your hands or use hand sanitizer? While it’s important to stay free from germs, of course, your skin needs some refreshing from the dryness. Using a high-quality lotion or cream, like our Hydrating Butter, you can replenish your skin. This natural butter with clean beauty ingredients helps hydrate your gentle skin with shea butter, and essential oils that help calm and soothe the skin, especially after feeling dry from excessive cleansing. Another way to pamper your skin is with Glaminator’s Sugar Scrub. This gentle blend of raw sugar, emu and coconut oil helps remove the dead skin and hydrate your skin for a smooth, clean appearance. Laced with quality lavender essential oil, the sugar scrub will help calm your skin and your mind, making you feel pampered. Pamper Yourself Now is the best time to pamper yourself as much as possible. Take care of your skin by cleansing and hydrating it. Give yourself the gift of pampering while you can’t come in for an appointment. Caring for your skin now will help it stay strong and beautiful for the day you can come back in for your skin and hair treatments. Until the day we can see you again, we encourage you to take care of yourself during quarantine. Know that we're still here for you and can’t wait to see you again!

Your Everyday makeup should define your bone structure, hide any blemishes, and highlight those beautiful eyes without making you look overdone. So here is a short process broken down into three steps to give you a natural, polished appearance.
Step 1 of 3: Prepping Your Face Wash your face before applying makeup in the morning, wash your face so you'll be able to start with a fresh canvas. Use a cleanser or simply splash lukewarm water on your face a few times to wash away any debris on your skin then pat it dry gently with a soft towel. Consider exfoliating. It's not necessary to exfoliate every day, but doing so every few days is essential to keeping your skin looking fresh. Putting makeup on over dry, flaky skin defeats the purpose! Exfoliate your skin using either a small facial brush, an exfoliating scrub, or another exfoliating tool designed for use on the face. Focus on areas that tend to get dry and flaky. Apply a moisturizer. The last step before applying makeup is putting on some moisturizing lotion. This will help your makeup go on more easily and create a better final look. Choose a good face moisturizer that works with your skin type. Massage it gently all over your face. Don't forget your eyelids, lips, and nose. Step 2 of 3: Applying Foundation and Powder Apply a foundation that matches the tone of your skin. Choose a foundation that works with your skin type and matches your coloring. Liquid foundation is a fine choice for many types of skin. You can also use tinted moisturizer or BB cream. If your skin is on the oily side, you might want to consider a compact or powder foundation.
Apply a concealer that matches your skin tone or if you have dark under-eye circles, go one shade lighter. Apply a light amount of concealer using either a concealer brush or your finger by dabbing it under your eyes and gently blending it in. This will make your eyes look bright instead of sleepy. Apply a powder that matches your skin tone. Use a powder brush to apply the powder to your face in a circular motion. This will give your face a natural-looking finish and help set your foundation so that it stays in place all day. Apply a pink-toned blush that brings out the best in your facial coloring. Swirl a blush brush in the container, smile, and apply it to the apples of your cheeks in a circular motion. Step 3 of 3: Applying Eye Makeup and Lip Color Apply a neutral shadow pallet for a simple, everyday look. neutral tones are all good choices, depending on your eye color. Avoid bright colors, "smokey eye" pallets, and other bold jewel tones, as they'll look out of place during the day. Here's how to apply eyeshadow to make it look natural and pretty:

But there's one step we all tend to forget after washing our hands or applying hand sanitizer – that critical layer of hand cream. Ironically, by over-washing our skin, we can develop dry cracks in the skin, giving bacteria an entry point into our bodies. Here are some best practices on how to treat signs of over-washing like pain, redness, flaking and itching. Why is hand-washing so harsh on our skin? The outermost layer of our skin is composed of oils and wax and it acts as both a shield from the outside and a guard that maintains natural moisture in the skin. This natural barrier is broken down by the suds created by soap while washing hands, which doesn't discriminate between unwanted oil, germs, debris and natural oils in the skin. Not applying a quality hand cream can lead to dryness, redness, itching, flaking, discomfort and in severe cases, cracks in the skin. Those with pre-existing dermatologic conditions like eczema can experience worsening symptoms. How to wash your hands to avoid skin dryness Apply enough mild, fragrance-free soap to remove dirt, but avoid using so much that it creates a thick lather which tends to wash away healthy natural oils. Wash with warm, not hot water, for at least 20 seconds, patting your hands dry with a towel. Once your hands are dry, apply a moisturizer immediately. Keep small travel sizes of Glaminator Beauty Bod Butter in your car, purse, gym bag, and at your work desk to make sure it is within reach. Are there any ingredients to avoid when skin is chapped? Products that contain fragrance can be irritating to chapped, sensitive skin. Creams and ointments are better than lotions and try to avoid hand sanitizers with too much alcohol, as they can be drying to chapped skin. Are there other treatments to increase moisture absorption? Around bedtime before laying down for your beauty rest, apply our Body Butter and then cover with cotton gloves to increase absorption. You may also consider using a humidifier at night which raises the humidity level in a room that can help dry skin. If you found this helpful then let me know in the comments section below.
