Way before that favorite foundation or the must have concealer of your favorite makeup brand, keeping a soft and healthy skin requires some simple and indispensable steps. They will provide uniformity to the final makeup and ensure it will stay on until the end of the day.
Here are three basic steps for you to follow on your daily routine, with simple and easy-finding products that will certainly make a difference.
Step 1: Cleaning it up – Makeup Remover and Facial Soap
