Before You Cover It Up: Real Talk About Skincare Mistakes, Weather Changes & Using Makeup Wisely
Hi beautiful✨
Lately, I’ve had so many conversations with gorgeous women sharing their frustrations about their skin. I’ve been surprised—and honestly, a little heartbroken—to hear just how many of us struggle daily with acne, blemishes, sensitivity, and even deeper issues tied to hormones and overall health.
It really reminded me: our skin often tells a bigger story.
We all love makeup (I mean, who doesn’t?!), but let’s be real—makeup can quickly turn from friend to enemy if we don’t handle it with care. Things like wearing the wrong type of makeup, ignoring the ingredient list, or simply not removing it properly at night can quietly sabotage your glow.
For example:
– That super-thick foundation? It might be the culprit behind stubborn breakouts.
– Using a product designed for oily skin when you have combination skin? You could be drying out your skin without realizing it.
Every product has its place, but not everything is meant for everyone.
Moving from Puerto Rico’s beautiful tropical humidity to New Mexico’s dry climate taught me a HUGE lesson: skincare needs to adapt. Back home, I barely had to think about extra hydration, but here? Wow. My skin craves moisture—especially during cold weather! One thing I’ve really noticed? We always remember our faces, but we often forget about our legs… until spring and summer hit, and we wish we’d shown them more love!
That’s why at His Touch of Grace Aromas, we’re all about whole-body care. A leg routine using our Body Scrub, a gentle cream shave, and a rich layer of our thick Body Whipped Butter? Total game-changer. Your legs (and honestly, your whole self) deserve to feel like royalty.
But let’s circle back to face care. One of the biggest mistakes I see? Applying tons of products without prepping the skin properly. The basics—hydration, a good moisturizer, primer, and SPF—aren’t just “extra steps.” They’re essential for a flawless finish and healthier skin in the long run.
Because here’s the thing: it’s never just about covering up problems. It’s about healing from the root. And honestly? That goes for life, too.
So as we step into this new season, let’s promise to listen a little closer—to our skin, our bodies, and our hearts—and use makeup wisely to enhance, not hide, our natural beauty.
With love and grace,
