Halloween Skincare Tips and Tricks

HALLOWEEN: The one day of the year where you’re free to wear whatever makeup you want, including bold colors, glitter, and fake blood! But before you start adding mounds of goop to your face or another’s, be sure to take the following precautions…

You want to look your scary best on Halloween; you don’t want your skin to look (or feel) scary. To avoid a frightening rash or breakout, be sure to test some of the makeup on the inside of your elbow or forearm before putting it on your face, especially if you are using different makeup from your normal routine. So if you haven’t done so already, go test your makeup TODAY!

Prepare your face for the makeup fun by cleansing thoroughly. It is also a good idea to use primer under the makeup as a way to both protect your skin from the makeup chemicals and to create a smooth canvas for the makeup application. Erno Laszlo Timeless Skin and Intensive Décolleté Cream SPF 20 can both be used as primers.

At the end of the night, when you’ve had your share of treats and trickery, you’ll probably be tempted to simply fall into bed, glitter and all. Don’t be fooled! Take the time to remove makeup completely before calling it a night. Use a gentle makeup remover (try the Multi-pHase Makeup Remover) and then wash your face. For particularly hard-to-remove makeup try heating a damp wash cloth and placing it on the face for several minutes before cleansing. Adding a few drops of essential oils, such as the Active Phelityl Oil, will help soothe skin after being in contact with the harsh makeup chemicals.

Finally, don’t forget to moisturize (HydrapHel Intensive is packed with vitamins to help soothe and repair skin) before falling into a deep sleep, when hopefully nothing goes “bump in the night”!

Don't Let Winter Keep You Dry

Dry skin is a major concern for both men and women during the fall and winter. It’s easy to neglect our body’s largest organ, especially during the end of one year and the beginning of a new, not to mention the typically strenuous holiday season. While finding time to prevent and alleviate sickness becomes a number one priority for most people, following these simple steps can help keep skin hydrated with minimal time, effort, and money!

1. Shower with warm water. Hot water strips the natural oils and proteins from our skin that are produced to help lock in moisture -- there’s a reason we use hot water to remove oil from dirty dishes! If you’re like me and forgoing a hot shower each morning is simply not an option, try alternating between hot and warm showers.

2. Skip the bubble-bath. Despite being an easy, at-home way to pamper yourself, bubble-baths can further irritate dry skin. Instead, use oatmeal powder or bath oils, which help retain skin’s moisture.

3. Pat dry. Buck the tendency to rub yourself dry after showering. Instead, gently pat your body until it is damp so that it is ready for the next step…

4. Moisturize! To get the “moist” out of your moisturizer, apply it when your body is still damp (get it? “most - moist”?) This is the toughest step because, honestly, who has time to moisturize every day? If you’re lucky enough to have the time and discipline to moisturize daily, do it when your skin is still damp to help maximize the effectiveness of the lotion/cream. Also, you don’t need to buy a different moisturizer just for the winter; simply using petroleum jelly or any vegetable oil will do!

5. Turn down the heat, and/or use a humidifier.

Bonus: If you’re in need of a time-saving technique that still gets the job done, try putting baby oil in a spray bottle and spraying your body with it before patting dry.

An Erno Laszlo Devotee Shares Her Thoughts…

”I am an actress in New York City and I have been using Erno Laszlo for 15 years. I attribute my youthful appearance to good health and good practices. Whenever my good friend and fabulous make-up artist Diana Solomon do Saturday Night Live together she always uses Erno with me, and we always praise how it makes our skin look. For my most recent photo shoot I wanted to be very natural so of course Diana used Erno Laszlo. Diana and I love Erno Laszlo and are so appreciative that there is a product out there to help us keep our 'good looks'. Keep it up!”

Warm Regards,

Marilyn Monroe's Personal Erno Laszlo Collection

Marilyn Monroe was an avid fan of Erno Laszlo products and a member of Dr. Laszlo’s elite clientele. In fact, several Erno Laszlo products were found at her bedside and on her vanity at the time of her tragic death.

In June of 2005, 43 years after Marilyn’s death, her estate was auctioned off to the public, including 32 of her beloved Erno Laszlo products. Excitingly, three of the original products will be on display this month!

• The pHelityl Cream is a lightweight, nightly moisturizer with a non-greasy formula designed for normal to combination skin that helps keep skin balanced and soft.
  
• The Active pHelityl Cream is an extremely rich and soothing moisturizer designed to seal in moisture -- perfect for staying hydrated during the upcoming winter months!
  
• Finally, Marilyn Monroe used Dual-pHase Face Powder – loose, a daily facial powder, to achieve silky smooth, radiant looking skin. This powder keeps skin hydrated all day long, even during the dry winter months!

The original skincare products that played an integral role in keeping Marilyn Monroe looking healthy and beautiful are still around today, over 40 years later!
