15 Of The Kardashians' Most Vital Skincare Hacks
Bible y'all...
When you think Kardashian you think many things. But our most common thought? That skin though. Yeah there's a million filters and photoshop magic that can be worked but those girls legit have the most flawless faces.
Here's how they do it...
1. Kylie on…sun damage
"The one skincare hack I swear by is to always put suncream on your hands, my sister Khloe tells me to do this all the time. I like Tizo3 mineral sunscreen, I try to wear it on my hands and face as much as I can."
2. Khloe on… spots
“You guys haven’t lived if you haven’t tried Mario Badescu Drying Lotion! Anytime I have a pimple, I dab it with my Drying Lotion and let it sit overnight. The next morning, it’s gone. Obsessed! This stuff is strong so don’t overuse it.”
3. Reach for the Vitamin C…like Kim
Dr Harold Lancer, Kim’s dermatologist, says: “Vitamin C is the workhorse of anti-ageing ingredients and the most abundant antioxidant found in your skin. Not only does it neutralize those age-promoting free radicals that cause inflammation, Vit C contributes to the production of the new collagen, which plumps the skin and reduces fine lines and wrinkles."
4. Kylie on…taking your make-up off
“When I wear a lot of makeup it can be really hard to take it all off and it’s so important. So I need something that will do the job but not irritate my skin. My go-to cleansing wipes towelettes are from Neutrogena.”
5. Kris on…wash cloths
“For me it's simple. Wash your face with a hot terry washcloth at night—it's exfoliating and cleansing. Use a great day cream and night cream.”
6. Khloe on…triple the face wash
“I wash my face three times to get all the makeup off. I use Kiehl’s Blue Herbal Gel Cleanser. Kylie’s obsessed with it now. She’s basically obsessed with me!”
7. Avoid tinted moisturizer…like Kendall
Kendall’s dermatologist, Dr Christie Kidd says: “Tinted moisturisers are designed to absorb deep into the layer of your skin. To hydrate the skin and protect it. But it is bringing all that pigment with it and that’s going to break you out.”
8. Khloe on…lash care
“I put Vitamin E oil on my lashes before bed. I swear it makes them extra full.”
9. Be aware of the weather…like Kim
“One of the most common mistakes people make during the winter months is turning up the heaters in their homes and failing to compensate for the increased dryness and heat of their environment in their skin care regime. Using a less drying, or non-foaming face wash, adding a hydrating serum, or using a richer moisturizer can help battle the harsh effects of dry air and the elements”, says Dr Harold Lancer.
10. Kendall on…not touching your face
“My sisters, since they’re a little bit older than Kylie and I, they’ve always wanted to help prevent anything that they’ve gone through when they were our age. So they’re like, never touch your face, never pick your face, always wash your face, and wear eye cream.”
11. Khloe on…oily skin post-glam
“I hate being oily so I take blotters with me everywhere. They suck everything up.”
12. Kourtney on…getting the moisture balance right
"My skin isn't that dry, so my dermatologist told me just to use moisturizer when I feel like my skin needs it. I only moisturise once a week at night.”
13. Kim on…oil
“I’ve been loving rich face oils to keep my skin smooth and soft and they’ll be great for these winter months. I know oils can be scary because you don’t want them to get in your hair and get it greasy, so I use them on days I know I will be washing my hair the next morning.”
14. Be gentle on acne…like Kendall
"If you have acne of frequent blemishes then I never want you washing your face with anything abrasive. Not a scrub, not a rotating brush, not a washcloth. You want to treat it very delicately and just wash with your hands. Wash really well with your hands," says Dr Christie Kidd.
15. Kylie on…toner
"I love Khiels Ultra Facial Toner. I didn’t realise how important toner was until recently. After you wash your face just put it on a cotton ball and take off all the left over make up and anything that could be on your face. It just cleans it a little bit more before you put your moisturiser on."
