1. Prep
Make sure you start with clean, prepped skin to ensure your makeup has a good base. Wash away skins impurities with an exfoliating cleanser like this one from Kate Somerville.
2. Moisturize
As the weather changes, so does your skins needs. Switch to a lighter weight moisturizer in warmer months like this one from Andalou Naturals. Soothe and nourish sensitive skin with this all-natural formula. Oily skin? Skip moisturizer all together or apply it just around the perimeter of the face with only foundation in the center to keep down the shine.

Protect skin from harmful sun rays by using a foundation with built in natural sun protection. Brush on COLORFLO- a luxurious, self-dispensing foundation brush for invisible, weightless coverage.
