Ask Sandy G – Moisturizer

lamer2.jpgQ: Hi Sandy, I love your blog, it’s very informative…I wanted to ask you if you need a different moisturizer for winter and summer? Help me Please! (From: Lidia)

A: Dear hydrated,

Absolutely! A different moisturizer for winter is a must! It is only natural that as the temperature drops below zero, the air outside is obviously colder and drier than in the summer months, which means our poor skin, if not taken care of properly, can become irritated and excessively dry!!…(oh, how I already miss you Summer…the hot sunshine glistening on my shoulders, tanning on the beach, pina colada’s…sigh…i’ll miss you the most, flip flop…only 240 more days till i see you again…)

Here are some quick and easy tips to help protect your skin from the harsh winter conditions!

1. Try using a rich face cream instead of lotion. A cream is a heavier moisturizer than a lotion, which will provide that extra hydration you’re looking for during the colder months! Also, if you don’t already do so, try moisturizing both morning and night, that’ll help keep you skin feeling nice and soft! (more…)

Q: Hi Sandy, What is the best foundation for hiding freckles? (From: Rebecca)

A: Dear freckles,

Why would you ever want to hide your freckles, when they are a part of who you are? I think freckles are so beautiful, and anyone who has them, is lucky!

My advice would not be to use foundation to hide them, but, to love who you are and wear your freckles proud!!  So I would suggest to use a light weight tinted moisturizer to help even out your skin tone, but at the same time allowing your beautiful freckles to shine through!

However, if even after reading this, you still would like to conceal your freckles…try mixing a full coverage foundation with a liquid concealer. This will help to conceal the area, as well as even out your skin tone.

Well I hope that helped you out, and remember, you are beautiful just the way you are!! Freckles and all!!

And like I always say, don’t forget to wake.up and make.up! I’m Sandy Gold and I’m out!!
