Clean Skin From Lemon

 


Oily skin got you feeling sour? Sunkist® lemons can help!
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon powdered milk
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed Sunkist lemon juice
Directions
In a small bowl, combine the powdered milk and water to make a soft paste. Apply the mixture to your face and massage for a few minutes. This will help to nourish the skin without drying it out. Next, take the freshly squeezed lemon juice and apply it to your skin with a tissue or cotton ball. This acts as a toner, ridding the skin of non-essential oils. Lastly, apply a light moisturizer, preferably oil-free.

Better Freshness from Citrus Splash


Now you can smell as good as you look!

Ingredients
  • 2 cups water, distilled
  • 3 tablespoons vodka
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped zest of a Sunkist® lemon
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped zest of a Sunkist orange
  • 5 drops lemon essential oil
  • 10 drops mandarin essential oil
  • 12 drops orange essential oil
Directions
Mix the finely chopped lemon and orange zests with the vodka and place in an airtight container for one week. This allows the vodka to absorb the aroma of the zests. Strain the orange and lemon enhanced mixture and add the essential oils to the liquid. Shake the contents once a day for two and a half weeks making sure not to open the jar. Store in a dark place or an opaque bottle. Once the mixture is ready, you can dab it on and smell citrus fresh!

How to Make Your Makeup Last

Feeling like a hot mess? Save face with products that can handle the heat. (See shopping information on the following slides.)


Start with Primer

"The pigments in your makeup shift when you get hot and sweaty," says Ni'Kita Wilson, a cosmetic chemist in Woodland Park, New Jersey. "A silicone-based primer absorbs the extra oil and locks everything down." Smooth it over your moisturizer.

Wear Less Foundation

For a lighter touch, apply a liquid or cream formula with a rounded sponge. "Press against your skin to get a sheer, natural look," says Sarah Tanno, celebrity makeup artist. Prefer mineral powder? Invest in a blending blush to keep the finish extra-light.

Conceal with Care

Blend a full-coverage concealer below your eyes and in the corners to hide dark circles but don't go past the outer eye area. "It'll migrate when you sweat and highlight your crow's-feet," says Laura Geller, a makeup artist in New York City.

Swap Eyeshadows

Ditch your dark powder eyeshadow for a long-wearing cream in a fresh summer palette. "Use your pinkie to blend a sheer wash from lashline to crease," says Geller.
