Proper skin care plays an important part in pulling off the “natural” look, but it’s something many people forget about. Instead, we rely on makeup to conceal flaws, and natural goes out the window in favour of caked on makeup that makes our skin conditions worse.
YET there can be a balance and there is makeup on the market that we HIGHLY recommend. We’re always stressing the importance of skin loving makeup that can help our clients achieve their skincare goals. Changing makeup brands is our second order of business after customizing a skincare routine.
We promised to answer this question months ago! It's a SERIOUS wonder of ours why all makeup isn't infused with skin-care benefits, but here it is. Drum rolll please….
1.) OXYGENETIX
Actors and models want their skin to feel as good as it looks. They love wearing makeup and they love their skin too and we agree: one should never compromise one for the other. This is why they use Oxygenetix, to actually help care for their skin throughout the day.
Barry Knapp the founder of Oxygenetix said it himself “Anyone can wear the foundation all day, get great comfortable coverage, and because of Oxygenetix breathability, it keeps their skin healthy with less acne breakouts. This is why some of Hollywood's top makeup artists and celebs for some of the biggest television shows and movies love Oxygenetix”
(Our Favourite Oxygenetix product) Oxygenating Foundation breathes, protects and heals as you wear it. And by using a unique aloe vera base, this foundation is both antibacterial and soothing!
If our clients are interested in changing their makeup, we offer the option to bring it in to the salon to make their lives easier.

3.) IT COSMETICS
We started using IT Cosmetics around 5 years ago when searching for skin loving makeup to use along with our Glymed concealer and powder -so we started with the IT- CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ for light day makeup and we still keep a tube in our makeup bag. We eventually found Jane Iredale and most recently Oxygenetix, but we can’t ignore where the journey started.
We found IT through videos made by their founder Jamie Kern Lima on Developing the line with leading plastic surgeons and is 100% cruelty free.
“IT Cosmetics® creates clinically proven, innovative, problem-solving color cosmetics and skin care products that harness cutting-edge, Anti-Aging technologies and high performance, skin-loving ingredients to provide you with serious beauty solutions designed to give you the power to look and feel your most beautiful!”

4.) GLYMED PLUS
1.) (above) These products are solidified into our routine, The feather light Healthy Skin Fixing Powder (in light and dark) formula seals in product and prevents shine throughout the day. A perfect finish to complete your GlyMed Plus skin care regimen.
Benefits:
Protects against environmental assaults on the skin,
Prevents development of acne from traditional makeup.
2.) (below) Skin Protection Cream Foundation Makeup is a long-lasting, mineral cream makeup that glides on like a second skin, provides incredible coverage, and balances uneven skin tones and imperfections. Developed for physicians and aestheticians with skin trauma patients, but is also popular with professional and personal makeup artists for its ability to cover imperfections and deliver superior results without a heavy feeling. This long-lasting and waterproof makeup is available in 17 blendable shades by special order.
Our tip is to use it as a blemish covering concealer when going on errands (like to the gym) when you may not want to apply a foundation, bb cream or cc cream.
