Radiant skin is a woman’s best accessory

WHILE THE debate over the
frequent rise and fall of hemlines
still dominates fall fashion, the
look in makeup and skin care that
is au courant remains constant:
light-textured, sheer
and gentle facial cleansers that let
healthy skin shine through.

Airy powders and translucent
foundations have followed thick,

cosmetics,

mask-like formulations as the
makeup of choice these days.

New York makeup artist Bobbi
Brown agrees. She recommends
using concealer only where there
may be blotchiness or blemishes,
like around the nose or chin, and
under the eye for dark circles.

A quick sweep of powder
finishes the look.

‘‘Today, women want a natural
look that lets heaithy skin shine
through,”’ says Brown.

But many women may not
“dare to go bare’? because of
less-than-flawless skin.

According to a recent skin care
study conducted by
Chesebrough-Pond’s, a high per-
centage of women between the
ages of 20 and 49 said breakouts
were their number one complaint!

So how do you attain this look

of healthy radiance? These quick
and easy tips can help lead the
way.
@ Good skin starts with sensible
cleansing habits. Washing twice a
day is plenty. Dermatologists ad-
vise gentle cleansers that will not
over-dry skin.

Dr. James Leyden says ‘‘the key
to successful cleansing, in my
opinion, is to ss2 mild cleansers in
a gentle fask:

in a non-abrasive fashion, will
cleanse without irritating the skin.
Over-washing and abrasive cleans-
ing are to be avoided.’’

@ Skin is affected by many forces
outside our control, but there are
some we can try to influence.

Good diet and exercise habits,
avoidance of bad habits such as
smoking, too much caffeine and
alcohol, and keeping stress under
control are very important.

A radiant complexion starts,

but doesn’t stop, with a simple
but effective skin care regimen.
@ A skin care routine needn’t be
a highly involved process with
multiple steps. These days, pro-
ducts are available that often do
two or more jobs simultaneously.

The trend started with shampoo
and conditioner in one. Now, the

idea is showing up in skin care
products such as toning cleansing
lotions or moisturizing cleansers.

@ Many of the signs of aging are
related to the sun.

It’s the number one cause of
excess wrinkles, discoloration and”
loss of elasticity. Even in the fall
and winter months, the UV rays
that damage skin are prevalent.

Consistent use of sun protection
is one of the best ways to combat
these preventable aging signs.

Finally, the best advice is to be
patient. Good skin won’t happen
overnight.

With a little diligence and an
effective cleansing routine, you
too will ‘‘dare to go bare”’ and be
able to put your best face for-
