29 Oct How to Prep Your Skin for Halloween
With Halloween right around the corner, many of us are putting on our faces for this fun, spooky holiday. Besides wearing a mask, making up your face into something, or someone else, using makeup is one of the best aspects of the holiday. Halloween makeup can be simple or complex, but no matter which avenue you take, knowing how to properly prep your skin for Halloween makeup is a must if you want your makeup to look its best throughout the night. A straightforward way to achieve this is through exfoliation. Exfoliating the skin before you apply makeup, and in general, is one of the most important steps you can take. Exfoliating can help uncover new smooth skin by gently removing dead skin cells, which can make your makeup look cakey if not taken care of. So, if you plan on wearing Halloween makeup, prep your skin for Halloween by using this DIY Halloween sugar scrub recipe.
