SKIN TO WIN

Let me introduce myself. My name is Jade Starling. You may know me as the lead singer of the group Pretty Poison. (Catch Me I'm Falling)
Not only am I a song writer, performer and actress, I also have designed my own clothing line, JadeWear and have modeled for such notables as Calvin Klein and DKNY.
Recently I have become a guest makeup artist/spokesperson for Christian Dior and Lancome cosmetics.
I would love to share some beauty and fashion tips with all you honeys out there as well as fill you in on some of their great new products.

Since we are getting into the hottest months of the year, we've got to get into the coolest clothes and makeup. Summer means lots of skin, so ladies don't forget to moisturize. Even the tannest skin still needs sunscreen so I recommend Christian Dior's Bronzer with SPF15 for the face and body. It has a really pretty golden shimmer to make skin glow. Or try Lancome's Beauty Flash Bronzer for that instant just been to the beach look.

Don't forget to exfoliate those elbows and knees, rough dry skin is a NO NO and needs to be buffed for a silky smooth look. Try Christian Dior's Extra Exfoliating Scrub, cleans like a soap and smoothes skin to a satiny finish. For extra dry skin, try Dior's Body Moisturizer with calcium and Body Light for cellulite. PERRRRRRFECT!

For a lightly scented body moisturizer, try Lancome's Miracle Lotion (raspberry and vanilla .YUMMY)

One of the best ways to hydrate dry skin without spending a lot of money is to massage in baby oil on your still wet skin fresh from a shower. It helps to lock in the moisture.
(Yeah Baby!)

Now that you've worked out that body, been to the gym, danced all night to burn fat, and probably drank all night too, don't forget to drink lots and lots of water. H2O is your best beauty tool. It replenishes, hydrates, and naturally plumps up the skin to prevent wrinkles, sagging and breakouts. It also flushes out toxins and keeps skin clear and pretty. Beware of too much sun exposure and not enough water consumption. (Chug A Lug)

Oily skin can also be a problem since summer heat and humidity can stimulate oil glands. Wash twice a day with a gentle cleanser and toner.
I like Murad, the whole Acne Management line has worked tremendously for me to even out my skin and prevent further breakouts. I love it!

Always use an oil free foundation. I like Dior Light. It comes in a variety of colors to suite most skin types. It feels light in texture and gives a flawless finish. Set with Dior Light powder. Fabulous!
Lancome make's a great tinted moisturizer with sunscreen too.

For those evenings out in the hot and steamy summer nightclubs, give eyes dramatic, exotic flair with 5 Eye Shadows from Dior. Rich exciting colors for summer with just a hint of shimmer. Or try Focus Shadows from Lancome frosty hues to mix and match. (SooooooooSexy!)
Don't forget your lips. Dior make's 101 shades of lipstick to emphasize and moisturize and guess what? They don't kiss off. So go ahead Suck Face and Still Look Great!

It's skin to win this summer, so make yours a priority so until next time check out my website at www.jadestarling.com listen to my new song "To Be Real".

Ciao For Now
