Face

You may have heard that the skin is the mirror of the soul and also, your body communicates with you through it. Any emotional problem you have will be reflected in this, which is the largest organ we have. For this reason, it is important that we take care of this canvas that we have and especially that of the face, which is the one that is most exposed to the weather, pollution, dirt, etc. A base with natural ingredients such as those of Saigu they assure you that they are giving your skin all the care it deserves without aggressive ingredients from petroleum or additives and preservatives that are absorbed into your body. So that you know exactly which one to choose and how to apply them, we leave you this little guide and, if you have more questions, write to us at info@saigucosmetics.com and we will help you choose the one that is best for you.

How do I know if I have oily/dry/combination skin?

If you have shine in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and you tend to get pimples and blackheads, you most likely have oily skin. Generally the touch is oily and you have to clean the shine relatively frequently.

On the other hand, your skin will be dry if it often feels tight or dry and, as soon as you put on a moisturizer, it is absorbed. Climate changes directly affect your skin and, especially in winter, it will be when you notice it driest and even irritated. Combination skin is a combination of the two, you will have shine in the T zone but dryness in the cheekbones and eye contour. It may also depend on when it leans more towards one or the other extreme, so you should know your skin well and pay attention to its signs. For this reason, you must also adapt the type of makeup you use at all times. It is an important job of self-knowledge of your own skin.

How to apply Saigu fluid foundation correctly?

Saigu foundations have natural ingredients like waxes and oils and are best applied with your fingers. The heat of your hands will cause these components to melt and spread better throughout your skin. The sponge is not recommended because it will absorb a lot of product and you will be wasting it.

If you are uncomfortable using your hands, the best thing would be a brush with which you can get different finishes depending on the type you choose: professional, natural, skunk... And you can also get a precise and natural finish.

So, with your hands or with the brush, we recommend that you apply the base in circles on the T zone and then spread it towards the ends of the face without forgetting the ears and neck so that there are no color jumps.

How to choose the right tone for my skin?

First of all, you must know what the undertone of your skin is, which can be pink, yellow or neutral. Skins with a pink undertone find it hard to tan and turn red easily. If you have a yellow undertone you will tan easily and gold accessories will suit you better. If you have a combination of both, your undertone will be neutral and you can choose any, but be careful with those that are excessively yellow.

Velvet - light, pink/neutral undertone
Grace - light, yellow undertone
Nina - medium, pink undertone
Coral - medium, yellow undertone
Nat - medium, neutral undertone
Cleo - brunette, yellow/neutral undertone
Frida - dark, yellow undertone

Usually, a shade darker than the skin itself is usually chosen to look tanned, but we recommend exactly the opposite. Choose a shade that is the same or a little lighter so that it blends well with your skin and, if you want to give it a darker touch, use the matting or sun powders that will give your face depth and that more tanned tone.

How to remove a makeup base?

Even if you wear a natural foundation like Saigu's, it is still not recommended that you go to sleep with it on a regular basis, no matter how light it is and no matter how tired you are. The skin, like the rest of the body, takes advantage of the night to regenerate and rest so that it is fresh again in the morning.

Avoid makeup remover wipes because, in addition to being very polluting, they tend to carry the dirt that has accumulated during the day from one place to another instead of cleaning in depth. Opt instead for a micellar water or a make-up remover milk with natural ingredients and use cotton or discs to remove the base. When you're done, apply a toner and moisturizer. To make it penetrate better, you can apply the cream by spreading it and gently tapping it with your fingers.

Try to make these products as natural as possible so that they are compatible with your skin and help your skin regenerate overnight.
