Quick Fix: My Dirty Little Glowy Skin Secret

Quick Fix: My Dirty Little Glowy Skin Secret

Imagine we're at a happy hour and we're sharing our secret beauty routines.  Here's mine.  My one little, dirty secret.  A few blogs have mentioned this approach, but it hasn't gotten the credit it deserves.  So here you go:

I shave my face.

You read that right.  No rocket science here.  I use a men's razor.  Schick Hydro 5.  I get my face wet, lather with face wash for lubrication.  I start at the tops of my cheeks, just under my eyes.  I go all the way to my hairline, over my entire face and down my neck.  I don't do my nose or forehead.  Don't need to.  The entire process takes a solid 2 minutes, max.  I do it about once a week and definitely on days when I want my makeup to look on point.  

It makes sense, right?  Try putting foundation on a peach.  Now put it on an apple.  Fuzz matters.

Everyone I've told about this freaks out.  They think the hair will grow back thicker.  It hasn't on me.  They think they'll have noticeable stubble.  Never had stubble.  You're beautiful every day - fuzz, no fuzz.  Totally your call.  I'm just telling you what I do that gives me glowing skin in 2 minutes.
