Ask Tia Tuesday

This week's Ask Tia Tuesday question is from Lydia M. Lydia asks:

Hi Tia. I've got peeling dry skin and makeup doesn't look good on me. I've tried every moisturizer under the sun but my skin is still dry. While I'm on my quest to get this issue resolved, do you know of anything I can use to make my makeup look good?



Hi Lydia! Thanks for your question. Our skin is the canvas on which we create masterpieces. Proper skincare ensures the masterpieces we create are flawless. I am not an esthetician so I can't give you a medical reason as to why you are experiencing dry, flaky skin, but I will suggest that you adopt a skincare regimen that includes regular exfoliation to help remove dead skin cells from your face. I recommend St. Ives Apricot Scrub which I use on a regular basis to clear away dull, dry skin. I also recommend looking into microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion will help to improve both the texture and tone of your skin. It gently removes the dead layer of skin from your face and leaves you with smooth, radiant skin. I'm a fan of microdermabrasion and get it once every year to revive my skin. Also, drinking lots of water can help quench dry skin from the inside out. Well hydrated skin is the best palette for any makeup application.
