Different ways to apply blush.
The general way is to start on the apple of the cheeks and blend upward towards the hairline, then downwards to ensure a well-blended and thorough application.
 There are, however, application variations to use based on the shape of your face.

• If you have a thin face and want your cheeks to appear more prominent, apply blush more so on the apples and lightly on the cheek bones.

• If you have a round face that you want to appear thinner, apply more so along the cheek bone and less on the apples.

To all my great and gorgeous fans.

Is There Such A Thing As Too Many Facials?

Yes! Unless you have oily skin that needs clearing up or you're doing a series that requires you to go for a professional treatment in every week or two, once a month is sufficient. You can sensitize your skin if you overdo it.

To maintain your healthy skin between professional treatments, try the basic at-home facial once a week, DIY facial.

How often you should get a facial depends on several factors - your skin type, skin condition, skin care goals, your budget, age, even where you live. On average, getting a professional facial once a month is ideal for someone who wants to take good care of their skin. That's because the skin is a living organ, and it takes about 30 days for the cells to move up from the dermis to the surface, or epidermis, where they flatten out, die and slough off.
