Summer Skin Care
What is Sunscreens' shelf life?
Sunscreens aren't meant to last forever. They lose their efficiency after 1-2 years depend on the products, 3 years the most. To be safe, throw away your old sunscreens that have been sitting in your drawer for longer than a year. Buy a new one, sunburn is never fun and it leads to skin cancer in the future. Invest small money to prevent huge medical bill in the future. Consider Mary Kay SPF 30 Sunscreen.
Use and application:
Apply sunscreens 15-30 minutes before exposure to the sun and reapply every 2 hours, pay particular attention to the face, ears, hands and arms. You should be using a shot glass full of sunscreens for your body and about a teaspoon full just for your face. Don't forget that lips can sunburn too, apply a lip balm that contains sunscreen with and SPF 15 or higher, such as Mary Kay Lip Protector Sunscreen SPF 15 with vitamin E or Tinted Lip Balm with SPF 15.
Sunless product:
You can still get a tan without the sun and UVB/UVA damage. Using a Subtle Tanning Lotion will give your skin a beautiful start to the summer.
Don't forget your feet:
Put away your winner boots, it's sandal season! Take out your beautiful sandals and get your feet ready for the summer. You can either go get a pedicure at a spa or do it at home, scrub off the dead dry skin and put on Mint Bliss Energizing Feet Lotion to get sandal ready feet!
Lazy days for shaving are over:
In winter, we all have those lazy days, don't want to do all the work to shave when we know our legs will not even see the light of day. Well, those days are over, now you can shave your legs daily with 2 in 1 Body Wash & Shave Gel. The convenience of a cleanser and a shaving cream in one product and leaves skin feeling fresh, clean and smooth. Don't forget to put on Hydrating Body Lotion after shaving.

What kind of foundation should I use?
Here are some different forms of foundation:
Mineral Powder: It provides medium to full coverage and also contains vitamins and minerals to help treat the skin and is simple to apply with a brush. Suitable for oily to normal skin. Choose your Mineral Powder Foundation here.
Pressed Powder: It is low in oils and doesn't clog pores. Applied with a brush, it gives you sheer coverage. Applied with a sponge, it gives you more coverage. Applied with a damp sponge, it gives you even more complete coverage. Sheer Mineral Pressed Powder
Creme to Powder: It has a creamy texture that dries to a powder finish. These formulas are kinder to oily skin because the powder helps cut down on excess shine. Mary Kay Creme to Powder Foundation
Tinted Moisturizer: It is actually a moisturizer with a little color added. It is the sheerest of all the foundations. Perfect for women who who feel like wearing next to nothing. Try Mary Kay Tinted Moisturizer with sunscreen SPF 20
Liquid Foundation: It is the most readily found and is suited to most skin types. When applied, it gives you more coverage than a tinted moisturizer but less than a creme foundation. Mary Kay Medium Coverage Foundation provides stay-true, stay-put color and controls excess oil for up to eight hours.
Stick Foundation: It is essentially a neatly packaged creme foundation and concealer in one. Best for normal to dry skin, it is a good option for women who want more coverage, but it can look a little heavy on clear skin.

Your smooch tells your personality
I ran out of stickers for Christmas cards, so, I can up the idea of printing my lipstick on the cards and envelopes instead of leaving it blank. You will thought of that your lip print tells your personality. I know mine now. How about yours?
