In this lesson, I walk through my basic, everyday skin prep routine and explain how I approach hydration, barrier support, and timing before makeup. I’m a licensed Esthetician and professional Makeup Artist with over 20 years of experience, and this is a simple, intentional prep rooted in real-world practice rather than trends. You’ll see the products I’m using throughout the video, but keep in mind these are simply what work for my skin. In future lessons, we’ll do deeper dives into skincare for different skin types, product categories, and how prep changes depending on the situation. This is my first lesson here, and I’m excited to build this space with you. Feel free to leave questions or share what you’d like to learn more about next.
