When Busting Thru that Wall, How to Sleep in Your Makeup with Tips from Ole Henriksen.

By Laura Medina

After being in the skincare and skin treatment business for forty-plus years, Ole Henriksen has seen every blotch, blemish, bad habit, and severe sins underneath the sun at his highly-revered skin salon/spa in Sunset Plaza.

Attaining great knowledge through great compassion and understanding of his clients' very glamorous yet busy lives, especially while under the demands of the entertainment industry's demands during Awards Season of doing early morning call-times, press conferences, appearances, rehearsal, performances, and the parties, it's just easier for these ladies to have their makeup done professionally the afternoon or night before, go to bed at a normal time for a normal time then wake up, fully made-up, ready to face the day.

Ole the Skincare Guru, have not personally witness this behavior in action but he does notice this and doesn't judge, knowing all too well the demands of a very successful entertainment career and Awards Season's demands, like right now, going straight from Golden Globes to the Grammys.

Ole Henriksen, “Sleeping in your makeup is a little bit of a sin, but it happens to every woman, including celebrity clients like Katy Perry, Charlize Theron,…I may not witness this but I am sure this has happened.”

 

 Besides, who wants to ruin a great makeup-artist's art work when you can save it for one extra day.

Ole Henriksen offers tips in how to keep both your skin and your makeup radiant and healthy in a 24-Hour period...and no longer than that.

In Prepping Your Face...

“So, what you do is make sure the first thing in the morning , you take my Truth To Go Cleansing Wipes to cleanse the surface then give yourself my Lemon Peel Flash Peel to help you remove those dead skin cells, to tighten and even the pores.  The beauty of the Lemon Peel Flash Peel is that it stays on for 10 minutes. You brush it on.  You rinse it off.  You bring back the vibrancy and the glow-and you don’t feel guilty for sleeping in your makeup.  Because, you have done the first-thing-in-the-morning.  That’s why you do the Peel. ”

“After you rinse out the Peel, you may want to apply my Truth Serum Collagen Booster because it’s a concentrated form of Vitamin  C.  It tightens, brightens.  It fights free-radical damage.  It smells delicious.  It smells like oranges.  You’ll see an air-brushed effect on the entire face."

 "Then, you apply my Truth Revealed Super Cream SPF 15.  You are set to go.

I am a big fan of my CC Cream because it’s a complexion corrector.  It treats while it diffuses little imperfections.  It highlights the natural beauty of the skin.  So, the beauty of that it have Vitamin C and natural acids to stimulate the skin cell tissue with the SPF of 30.  In all truthfulness,  if you apply that in an hurry, on its own,  after the Truth Serum, you will find a beauty and refinement in your skin.” 

For olive skintones, Ole would use Medium color of the CC Cream, “It’s self-adjusting, has light-reflecting minerals in it, and you’re set to go, ready for the red carpet.”    

 

“Keep things simple always but make sure if you sleep in your makeup, you do a proper cleansing first thing in the morning, the Peel, the Truth Serum, then the CC Cream then you’ll look like a million dollars.”

 "In removing, what I think is so nice is that you can fill your sink 1/3 warm water then take 10 drops of Lavender Body Oil straight into the water then splash your face.  The beautiful lavender is soothing and calming.  Rinse your face with a terry cloth and take in that beautiful aroma..."
