You want the glow without the grease, sis? We get it! Who doesn’t want bright, glowing skin? The dewy look is a summer-time staple and it’s one of the best ways to brighten your face. 

If you’re looking for a dewy look, check out our five-step routine to help attain it:

1. Moisturize - The secret to dewy skin starts within! Your skincare routine absolutely comes first. Make sure you are using a moisturizer all over your face and right after you cleans to rehydrate your skin. For best results use a moisturizer that doesn’t have alcohol like YELLE Skincare’s Awakening Moisturizer. It is power packed with plant based ingredients like coconut milk, jojoba oil, and aloe. 

1. Use A Matter Primer - Using a matte primer will help control the oils that make you look greasy. Give the primer a few minutes to set and then move on with your skincare routine. 

1. Wear An Illuminating Foundation - The key to dewy and not greasy is all in the foundation you choose. Try an illuminating foundation that still has a full-coverage finish. If you need heavier coverage consider using a concealer. 

1. Highlight For The Gods, Sis - Swipe that highlighter on your cheekbones, cupid’s bow, brow bone, and inner eye like you’re a walking trophy. The shimmer from the highlighter will pick up the light on all of your ‘high points’ making your face appear dewy with a healthy glow. 

1. Finish With A Finishing Spray - Wrap up the entire look with a dewy setting spray. Using this will set your makeup in place and combat your own natural oils keeping the greasy look away for a longer period of time. If you skin still builds up oil you can use blotting papers to mattify your look a bit. 

No matter the skin type, dry, normal or oily, you can go for your dreamy dewy makeup look. In fact, we want to see! Tag us in your best dewy look on Instagram @YELLESkincare

Just like that, class is back in session! Students are moving into their dorm rooms, leaving their parent’s safe nest for good. While campus living may sound fun, it can also be crammed and a bit unsettling living out of a small space. You literally share everything from living spaces and bathrooms to dining areas and washer and dryers. With going back to school in the middle of a pandemic, you have to take extra precautions that you have everything you need especially for your skin. 

It’s easy to lose sight of your skincare routine while dorm-living because everything isn’t easily accessible to you. But YELLE Skincare is here to narrow your list down for must-haves you absolutely need to keep in stock to ensure that your skincare routine is in tip-top shape while dorm living. 

YELLE Skincare Complete System

This 5-step system is perfect for a busy student that just doesn’t have the time to keep up with a complicated skincare routine. Completed with a wash, toner, moisturizer, eye cream, and serum, you literally have everything you need for a great skincare regimen. As if having a nice skincare bundle wasn’t enough, YELLE Skincare’s Complete System is the perfect size to stash away in a travel-friendly skincare compartment

A Traveling Skincare Station

Creating a skincare station that can easily transport down to the bathroom makes keeping a skincare routine so much easier. If your dorm room has an in-suite bathroom you should consider using a tiered rolling cart that can easily store all of your skin needs on each level.

Level 1: Face

Level 2: Body

Level 3: Hair

If you have to physically haul everything down to a different level with shared bathrooms, you should consider bringing back the ‘old fashioned’ caboodle. It is a toiletry tote that is sturdy enough to stand the test of time. Which is perfect for moving around with, in case you drop it, or it accidentally falls while in transport. 

Makeup and Cleansing Wipes

Since getting ‘in the bathroom’ isn’t always as easy as it sounds in a dorm room. Always, always keep makeup and cleansing  wipes on hand. This way, if you need to remove anything, or quickly clean anything you always have the option.

Remember wipes aren’t the best way to clean your skin, so do not treat using a makeup wipe or a cleansing wipe as a cleansing method. You should still follow up with your YELLE Skincare Complete System to give your skin the proper deep cleanse it needs. 

Cotton Pads

Let’s be real, everything about a dorm room screams germs. From the door knobs, to the dirty floors, and all of the shared spaces in between. We just don’t trust it. So avoid making direct contact with your face unless your hands are completely clean. Using cotton pads on your skin is much safer than using your hands. So cotton pads absolutely come in handy; and they are perfect for that ‘broke college student’ budget. Cotton pads can be used for washing your face with YELLE Skincare’s Awakening Wash, for applying makeup, and for so much more. It’s a staple on the skincare tool list. 

Now that you’re headed to #DormLife … we want to see just how you make the space uniquely yours, especially when it comes to your skincare. So tag @YELLESKINCARE in your new DIY Travel Skincare Station so we can see exactly how you styled the project.

Classes are presuming even in the middle of a pandemic, are everyone's all out of whack, mentally, physically and emotionally! The burden of even attempting to begin school which combatting a global crisis could easily have an affect on you and in terms, create a hormonal imbalance. 

So how does one avoid a hormonal breakout, especially when school is back in session? Well there is no straight answer, in fact studies show that an estimated 57 percent of women have acne that is triggered by your hormones. 

What could be causing it?

• Menstruation
• Increased Androgen Levels
• Stress
• Anxiety
• And more

How can I avoid or help clear hormonal acne?

Surprisingly enough, so many people skip cleansing facial skin, especially at night. Washing your face is vital to maintaining clear, healthy, and balanced skin. So be sure to wash twice a day, morning and night. YELLE Skincare carries the most gentle and affecting cleanser, the Awakening Milk and Honey cleanser. Created with rich enzymes and natural ingredients like honey, and papaya, your skin will feel clean and pure after just one use.

    If you are battling a breakout that is severe and requires acne products, be sure to not spread the products all over your skin because it could dry your entire face out. Instead practice the spot treatment method. With clean hands, use a cotton swab and dab the acne product directly on the spot that needs treatment. In terms this will dry out any oily acne problems you face, without compromising the healthy skin that surrounds your breakout.

Deciding to switch your skincare routine during a major breakout can be brutal on your skin’s health. The last thing you want to do is to introduce a new product while in the middle of a break out. So instead, stick to a healthy routine that has already been in place, use spot treatment on your problem areas and let your skin heal completely. Once you have healed, then begin to implement new regimens to your routine.

If you are looking for a standard skincare system to follow, YELLE Skincare’s Essential System is a perfect starter system that comes complete with a facial wash, toner, and moisturizer. 

    While we love the sun, over-exposure can be quite damaging to our skin. So it is important to limit the skin’s exposure to the sun while dealing with a breakout. Typically SPF 50 is standard on needed protection as it blocks 3 percent of UVB rays from directly contacting your skin. If you are looking to add SPF to your skincare routine, you should use it after you have moisturized and allowed your pores to close. 

Since class is in session, we want to avoid showing up on the first day with a major break out … because that is not the vibe we are going for. Follow the simple steps we’ve provided and your skin should maintain a good state for back to school.

Sis, we all miss outside! Even though you haven’t gotten much sun this summer, you don’t have to look like you’ve been cooped up in the house for the last 16 weeks. Yelle Skincare can give your face the rejuvenation it needs to look like you’ve been flawlessly absorbing much needed Vitamin D, and here’s how.

While we have our Complete System that targets every area you may wish to address for your skin, from cleansing to exfoliating, and moisturizing to treating … there’s still much more you can do with our products to ensure you get a nice summertime glow.

Wash your face with warm to open your pores for cleaning.

As simple as this sounds, you’d be surprised at how many people don’t do this extremely important step. Take the time to let your water warm up before running to wash your face. Then wet your face with warm water, and gently rub our Awakening Milk and Honey Cleanser into your skin and neck in a circular motion for 60 seconds. Afterwards gently rinse the Awakening Milk and Honey Cleanser off of your skin with warm water. 

Warm water is essential because not only does it remove germs and bacteria from your skin, it also opens your pores, ensuring the product ingredients penetrate and absorb into your skin.

Make sure you are removing dead skin cells from your face and neck. 

While your skin is already warm, you now want to remove dead skin cells from your face and neck with our Awakening Milk and Honey Toner. This gentle daily exfoliant is everything you will need to cleanse your skin from buildup and old skin cells, bringing on a bright new layer of skin. Using a toner during warm summer months is exactly how you eliminate acne-prone, dull skin and welcome moisturized balanced healthy skin. 

Store your serum in a cool space.

Storing your serums in a cool place is a game changer for your summer glow. After you have washed your face with warm water, you must seal it with the healthy ingredients needed to treat the skin, which is your serum. Simply store your serum in a cool place like your refrigerator, and apply it to your skin cold. This not only locks in antioxidants and vitamins into your skin, the cold temperature also closes your pores ensuring that no filth enters your pores. Did I mention that it is also very soothing and therapeutic? You will feel like you’ve escaped to a spa-day in your own bathroom. 

Yelle Skincare offers 3 serums, for normal-combination, oily, and dry skin. Our treatment serums are one of our most important products that takes your skincare routine from basic to next level!

Protect your skin after treating it.

After you’ve done the work to get your skin to a flawless place, you want to ensure that you are protecting it. This can be done by using simple methods like, avoid going in direct sunlight for at least 30 minutes after you’ve done your skincare routine.

Stay hydrated to make sure that your skin cells are not drying out in the sun, because who wants a dull lifeless face after you’ve worked so hard on your skincare routine?

Become a shade queen … literally! Avoid standing in direct sunlight, especially in the middle of the day when the sun is the highest. Instead find yourself a nice shady spot that you can enjoy controlled sunlight and the Vitamin D it brings.

So you see, you can still achieve a healthy summer glow even if we’ve had to cut out time outside. Using the Yelle Skincare Complete System offers you everything you need to get the glow!
