"Hi, I'm Kelli. I'm an aesthetician, and makeup artist at Ulta Salon & Cosmetics, and I'm going to give you some tips on how you can achieve a flawless complexion. First thing you want to do, is make sure that you're using a really good skin care routine, at home. Your makeup is only going to look as good, as your skin underneath, so I recommend definitely getting a good cleanser, especially if you wear makeup. You want something that's going to fully remove your makeup, and either debris and oil, especially make sure you're cleansing at night. When you walk outside,you have a lot of environmental toxins, and aggressors, that are attacking your healthy skin cells, that can lead to premature aging, discoloration, sensitivities, all that type of thing, so you want to make sure you're cleansing thoroughly, every evening, making sure that you're using a good moisturizer. Your moisture barrier is your first line of defense, against environmental aggressors, and things that can harm your collagen, and your elastin, and lead to premature aging, so make sure you're using a really great moisturizer. This will also help in the application of your makeup, and make your complexion look more flawless, underneath your foundation, and eye cream is really important. Around our eyes, skin is the thinnest skin on our entire body, and this is the first place where we start to see signs of premature aging, so making sure we're really protecting that area, is very important. Using a sunblock, extremely important. UV rays are the leading cause of discoloration, and premature aging, so just by protecting ourselves from the sun, we can keep our complexion looking more even, and more flawless. If you're doing all those things, and you're still experiencing some problems, you can incorporate some brightening serums, or brightening products, into your regimen. That's going to help to even any discolorations, and give you a more flawless look, and lastly, you want to make sure that you're using some type of foundation.Make sure you have a beauty professional help you match to your perfect shade. You don't want to have any line of demarcation going around your jawline, and choose something that's going to look natural. It's not going to lay in any lines, or pores, and give you a really nice flawless look, so those are some tips that you can use, to achieve a flawless complexion."
