I always get sunburned, however much sunscreen I put on

[fallen]

my face has like a permanent redness to it. I had a nasty second-on-the-verge-of-third degree sunburn when I was 10 and it's never been the same =(

example:




those are both without makeup...oh yeah I dyed my hair black the other day haha. I'm taking better pictures tomorrow.

Green evens out red. sounds crazy i know....but its not. when I blush i hate it becuase my whole face doesnt get red....only my nose! its the worst ever! but green powder really works for redness becuase they are contrast colours thus even out ;D

yep I know I used to have the green stuff but I haven't been able to afford it lately.

I love wearing red eyeshadow because my eyes are green and it makes them pop big time. for those with blue eyes you should try orange, especially a bright one it would look really cool. and purple is good for brown.

My tips:
1. use a day cream of alteast SPF15
2. use a facial scrub atleast once a week ( i use a facial scrub sponge every day on my skin)
it gets rid of dead skin cells that can make your skin look sallow and grey. It also helps spots as it unblocks the pores and clears out the muck!
3. Use a Mud mask at least once a month, it detox's the skin and makes you all nice and fresh looking
4. Dont use ordinary soap on your face, its not good for it as it can cause dryness. Either use a soap specially made for the face or a facial wash
5. Toothpaste is good for getting rid of the odd spot, but be careful, toothpaste dries out the spot so putting it on your face often can lead to dry skin.
6. Its never too early to start using a night cream, you can just put more of your day cream on at night rather than buy a seperate cream
7. Eye cream is a very good idea, putting ordinary face cream around the eyes can lead to puffiness. A cream meant for the eyes will stop lines forming and help to dispell any water retention from puffy eyes.
8. If you have a red face, or a very angry spot use a green face corrector it tones down the redness.

and i found this on the net:

Common Sense Recommendations for Skincare of Sallow Skin ( skin that looks yellow/grey/or tired

Vitamin B1 is very good for removing paleness from your skin. It keeps the skin well- nourished and rosy by keeping the blood circulation normal.

Active physical exercise quickens the blood circulation. Fresh blood and increased oxygen remove all that might dull or blemish the skin.

Lie flat on your bed with your feet elevated 1-2 feet higher than your head. Keep in this posture for 10 minutes. Gradually work up to 30 minutes.

The Cleansing technique depends on whether your skin is dry, oily or normal.

If your skin is not sensitive, give yourself a facial once a week to whip up the circulation.
