Dr Johnson's Corner :: September 2014

As much as I love Summer, it definitely results in the return of pigmentation whenever the source has not healed completely.  Hopefully many of you noticed that a lot of your old pigmentation did not return!  As Fall approaches, we need to double down on our treatment of the source of these lesions with Rescue and CatalystRemember that we have to see the last bit of redness leave the face before we can expect the pigment to not return.


Colour Tips for Aging Skin


by Alejandro Falcon, Artistic Director


I am impressed at how many of our clients are enjoying our Bismuth-Free Pressed Base foundations. They no longer worry about a mineral foundation accentuating their fine lines, wrinkles or that it seems heavy and dry looking. Here are some tips on how to apply Osmosis Colour foundations for that impeccable natural finish.


Mix the Mineral Hydration Mist with Quench moisturizer to increase the level of water for the skin and apply evenly on the face. This combination really plumps up dry and dehydrated skins.


Use the Liquid Foundation Brush with one of the BB Cream Tinted Primers to improve the texture in areas where there is dryness or some wrinkles you would like to disguise. I like using the Dome Powder Brush for better control of application with the Pressed Bases.


Lightly blend the Foundation all over until you achieve a complete coverage. Brushing with downward strokes while applying it on the skin, makes for a flawless finish. Now when you apply your favorite blush and shadows, your skin will appear smoother and younger looking.
