How to Skin Prep like a beauty pro

The term “skin prep” is very general and leaves lots of room for interpretation.

That’s because, there is not a one size fits all method to prep your skin.

the ultimate goal is to get your skin to a balanced, healthy state before applying cosmetics.

That means:

If you’re dry- Add hydration.

If you’re seeing a lot of shine and oil - use mattifying products.

Acne- calm the skin.

larger pores- exfoliate and keep them clean.

lots of hair on the face- dermaplane or wax.

In this tutorial, i am using K beauty products and there is a major reason for this. There are little to zero actives! Actives are the ingredients in skincare that create a visual change or reaction in the skin (vitamin c, retinol, acids).

save your actives for your pm skincare. for skin prep, we want calming ingredients that won’t “excite” the skin.
