If you want your makeup to stay flawless all day, the key is your skincare routine. A smooth and well-prepped base helps every product you apply afterward perform better and last longer. Here’s how to achieve that, step by step, using Beyond Our Skin’s products for the best results.
Step 1: Dermaplane Once a Month
Start by using the ‘Almost Famous 6-Pack Dermaplaning Razors Set’ from Beyond Our Skin.
Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hairs and the top layer of dead skin cells, leaving your skin ultra-smooth. When your surface is that smooth, foundation and other makeup products adhere more evenly and last longer. For best results, aim to dermaplane about once a month , at nighttime so your skin has time to regenerate between treatments.
Step 2: Exfoliate with Retinol
Implement exfoliation with our ‘Advanced Retinol Serum 2.5 %’ from Beyond Our Skin. This potent serum helps accelerate skin cell turnover, improve texture, and refine pores. A smoother texture means fewer places for makeup to settle into or slide off. Begin with using it once a week for the first 2-3 weeks, and if your skin tolerates it (no excessive redness or flaking), gradually increase to twice a week or every other night. Slow build-up is key for comfort and optimal results. The smoother your skin, the more flawless your makeup application can become.
Step 3: Cleanse in the Morning
In the morning, use the ‘Absolute Cleansing Gel’ from Beyond Our Skin. This cleanser works to remove leftover skincare from the night before and to refresh your skin so that your makeup goes on clean. Its formula helps support collagen and restore texture, giving you a fresher base to work from.
Step 4: Protect with SPF
Every morning after cleansing, apply the ‘Alive Reef Safe SPF 30 Sunscreen’. This is not only essential for overall skin health and protection from UV damage, but also maintains the condition of your skin so your makeup stays intact longer. A well-protected, well-hydrated skin surface keeps makeup from fading or looking patchy.
Step 5: Moisturize
After your SPF, apply the ‘Absolute You Day Cream’. A good day cream locks in moisture, smooths texture, and primes the skin so that makeup glides on rather than clinging to rough patches or dry spots. When your skin is hydrated and even, your makeup stays fresher for longer.
Step 6: Prime
Before applying any foundation or color, use the ‘Makeup Primer’ by Beyond Our Skin. A primer gives your makeup something to grip to, helps fill in pores or uneven texture, and ensures that product stays put rather than migrating or settling as the day goes on.
Step 7: Apply your Makeup
Now apply your makeup as you normally would, foundation, concealer, powder or cream products, etc. Because you’ve done the steps above, your canvas is optimized for long wear: smooth, hydrated, protected, primed.
Step 8: Set it with Spray
Finally, use the ‘Makeup Setting Spray | Paraben Free’ from Beyond Our Skin. This mist helps melt all your makeup layers together, reduces the appearance of powdery patches, and locks everything in place for the day. A setting spray is the final guard against fading, transfer, or settling into fine lines.
You're all Set!
By following these eight steps, you give your makeup the best possible base and provide your skin with the care it needs to support it. From monthly dermaplaning to daily sun protection and priming, each step serves an important purpose. Incorporating Beyond Our Skin’s products makes it easier because they are designed to work together in a routine that helps extend your makeup wear and enhance your skin’s appearance.
