As celebrity makeup artist Daniel Martin says, “your self-care ritual is the one moment you have all to yourself.” Read on for his self-care tips & picks for red carpet radiance from skin to soul.
What does it look like to commit to a skincare ritual?
It takes intention and time to appreciate one's cleansing ritual and when you do, it doesn't seem like a chore but rather a meditation at the beginning or ending of your day.
How do you recommend your clients get started?
Start by identifying what's the most important to you with your skincare at the beginning of your day. Start there and add as you see fit. As you build your skincare wardrobe, you're also adding more intentional time for yourself and your ritual.
Why's it so important to commit to your own self-care?
It's the one thing that you have all to yourself to appreciate and take care of. We forget our skin is our largest organ and we overlook its appreciation because we're constantly moving and on the go. So taking the time to respect it and show it love, you'll see a difference in your skin.
What's your advice for falling in love with your skin?
Be patient and appreciate yourself. When you are at peace within, it truly reflects on the outside as well.
What are ways you invest in yourself?
I've learned that I have to move my body as I've gotten older so going to the gym and doing pilates is my way of investing in my health and wellness.
What products would you recommend to "plump and protect for ever after"?
Essence, Dewy Serum, Dewy Skin and Dewy Skin Mist.
