FACE VALUE

A friend of mine-Jo and myself have made a resolution- to take care of our face. We have planned in advance and mapped out the different steps and stages we want to take to achieve this. As you can see in the title of this post we even went as far as naming this resolution. FACE VALUE. I love that name.
Now i don't pretend to be an expert when it comes to skin care and products but is seams to me that certain people mapped out skin care routine with a hidden agenda- other than just guiding the consumer, this routines are designed and constructed to maximise sales. (Booooo!!!)
And so...
FACE VALUE is about listening to your skin and knowing what to do about it. Its about making an educated decision with regards to the product you use and no, price is not really an issue as most of the high-end pricey product don't consistently live up to their claims. Chances are you can probably find as good product in the 'cheap' section if not better.
between Jo and I, we each came up with a routine we felt will be good and chose the products we want to use. each of us came up with a different routine and different product. Again- its about reacting to your individual skin and not necessary following what the 'posh' and 'expensive' dictates.
We would like to hear from you what works for you what products you like and why. feel free to comment post links to vids and products you find helpful.
Below are some of some of my favs:
Paula Begoun- Paula gives good information and guide lines as to how to take care of your skin with the aid of her products or others. Also you can subscribe to beautypedia- a free product review tool. Very educating.
Wayne Goss- a makeup artist that does not conform! (hooray!) Nice short vids packed with skin care and make up tips, recommendations, reviews, and tutorials. Awesome!
