~ CTM ROUTINE ~

Hello my lovelies!!

So, today I will be sharing the most beneficial routine for your skin care. That is *Drum Rolls* - CTM!!

As all of you folks know wedding season is going to come. There will be a considerable measure of would be Brides, who are searching for a decent, healthy skin schedule, that can assist them with achieving that big name like sparkles on their D-Day. The unpleasant truth is that we can purchase garments, jewelleries like our most loved big names, but, what about SKIN??? (I am not saying that they don't have any flaws in their skin, I am simply characterizing the term called "CELEBRITY-LIKE-SKIN".)

Coming back to the topic, have you all at any point pondered that regardless of heaps of clean-ups, facials and skin treatments, we are not able to achieve that dewy, glowy, no-makeup look skin. People usually say that makeup is just an additional layer or an artificial mask to hide imperfections and to look great, and they also say that natural is more likeable. Yet, the fact is makeup only enhances what you have and it can never be a substitute for natural skin care. Being a makeup artist, I know it's our duty to hide acne marks, dark circles and any form of discolourations on a client's face, but trust me guys, makeup looks better and more natural on people who have spotless and clean face. Regardless of how much makeup you put, on the off chance that you truly need gorgeous and lovely skin, it must come from within.

You should keep your skin healthy and youthful, if you want to stay gorgeous and beautiful.

A brief note about varieties of skin types:

Before moving on directly to the CTM routine, let's just understand the basics and types of skin.
Realizing what sort of skin you have is basic to pick the correct healthy skin schedule.

First up:

1. Normal Skin: Normal skin is just a blessing, if you have normal skin, that indicates, your skin neither too dry nor oily. This type of skin has fewer to no imperfections, smaller or barely visible pores, perfect complexion and as such no severe sensitivity.

2. Dry Skin: People with dry skin can have dry, flaky skin that sometimes can be very bothersome and aggravated, the dryness makes skin more irritated, rough and scaly. This type of skin is more prone to wrinkles and fine lines and thus tends to age faster as compared to other skin types.

3. Oily Skin: If you have oily skin, then you can must see enlarged pores, specifically around or sides of your nose, which can get clogged easily resulting in acne, whiteheads, zits and pimples. The skin texture will be shiny, oily and looks lifeless as the oil brings bluntness all over the face.
