Ask Sandy: Bye Bye Pores
July 18, 11
QUESTION:
What makeup products (if any) help decrease the look of pores and fine lines?
(Stefanie)
ANSWER:
Hey Stefanie,
Their are lots of great products on the market that are designed to help minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines. Try using a primer, like the L’Oreal Studio Secret Professional Magic Perfecting Base - prior to your foundation application, to help smooth out the skin texture. Then, once you have completed your makeup application – try setting everything with Bye Bye Pores HD Silk Micro-Powder ($24.00) from IT Cosmetics – it helps to make your skin look silky smooth! It’s fab!
Hope that helps! And, don’t forget to Wake.up & Make.up!

Ask Sandy! Ingrown Hairs
July 11, 11
QUESTION:
Hey Sandy, I have a problem with ingrown hair. I don’t shave, but prefer to wax. And now I got ingrown hair, which isn’t very appealing. I wanted to know how to remove them in a natural and easy way. Thanks :)
(Nadia)
ANSWER:
Hey Nadia! Here are some quick and easy tips to help you remove an ingrown hair:
Step One: CLEANSE & EXFOLIATE
Gently cleanse and exfoliate the skin first to help remove any dirt, dead skin cells and/or oils that may be lying on the surface of the skin.
Step Two: APPLY A WARM COMPRESS
Wet a face cloth with warm water and gently apply over the area for approx. 3-5 minutes. This will help to relax, soften and expose the hair follicle.
Step Three: REMOVE
With a clean sterilized pointed tweezer – very gently pull the hair out of the skin. If you can’t easily get to it – try the warm compress again – as you want to be careful not to dig, cut or irritate the skin.
Hope that helps! And, don’t forget to Wake.up & Make.up!
