Repair and Treat Sun Damage
What causes skin damage: UV light causes photoaging in the form of brown spots, coarse skin and wrinkles, whether you have burned your skin or not. When sunlight comes in contact with skin a cascade of damage results (including the stripping of barrier lipids) causing inflammation, production of reactive oxygen molecules that affect healthy cell growth, and stimulation of collagen destructing enzymes.
What to do: A tan may be a popular summer look, but it indicates damage. Bombard your skin with age-fighting ingredients to help undo any damage that may occur, and to further protect it from the aging effects of UV.
While perusing the shelves at your local drugstore or natural health foods shop, you've probably stumbled across a bottle labeled "Biotin." These B complex vitamins (also known as vitamin H) are important in metabolism, helping your body to process energy and transporting carbon dioxide from your body's cells.
Biotin can help grow healthier and stronger hair, skin and nails.
Glistening, glowing, dewy, luminous—they’re all positive adjectives when it comes to skin, until they go just a little too far into oily territory. While oily skin comes with some major complexion benefits, the annoyances of keeping your makeup in place and ditching shine can definitely wear on a gal. To help guide us on the path towards perfect skin, here is some advise on oily skin fixes that will make your life easier.
1. Mattify
Most importantly, before applying foundation I start with a light, moisturizing mattifying lotion, which absorbs the excess oil your skin produces to help keep you matte. They work great under foundation and keep too much oil mixing with your foundation, which breaks it down. Make sure you choose a lotion that’s lightweight, absorbs into the skin instead of just sitting on top of the skin.
2. Reach for a Sponge
The Beauty Blender is great for oily skin because it blends and presses the product into the skin, but also dilutes the product with water, adding hydration and wiping any excess oil away. If I get oily during the day, and my makeup starts to disintegrate, I just use a damp beauty blender to smooth everything back together. It's so refreshing and looks great. I find I rarely need to add more makeup afterwards.
3. Blot and Powder
To take away shine and to mask shine are two different things. I like to take away shine first and then mask it so that you use less product (and there is less oil to mix with it). Blot first with blotting papers to absorb excess oil. Then mask the shine with a blotting powder. Use a puff to press it onto the spots where you get the most oil, such as the T-zone. Oily cheekbones are fine. They glow beautifully.
4. Prep Perfectly
If your eyelids tend to get greasy and crease your eyeshadow, Linzee suggests you start with a dry eye primer or powder the lids before you apply eyeshadow. This will give you a dry canvas to work with, and also keep your color in place all day (or night).
5. Stay Hydrated
If you dehydrate your skin it produces more oil. Contrary to thought, make sure you stay hydrated and moisturized with a lightweight moisturizer so you produce less oil. And, remember, though oily skin may be more high maintenance, it doesn't wrinkle, so be glad you've got it!

To get the perfect sun-kissed highlights, you basically have two options: traditional foil highlights and the newer, edgier "balayage."
Balayage refers to the process of sweeping color onto hair using a paddle. Balayage gives the colorist more freedom to place color where she/he chooses, unlike foils which can be much more precise.
