Sallow Skin Tone

Some ways to correct sallow skin tones are: Start weekly use of a good at-home alpha-beta hydroxy acid peel to remove dullness caused by layers of dead skin. Use a moisturizer or anti-oxidant serum with at least 10 percent vitamin C. Or buy booster tubes of Vitamin C powder to add to your moisturizer. Vitamin C is a good brightener for sallow skin. Or you can massage your face gently each day with a washcloth or your fingers to encourage blood flow and naturally bright color. For Instant Gratification you can Mix a lavender-based liquid concealer/primer, like the one offered by Smashbox, in the palm of your hand with your usual liquid or cream foundation. Apply foundation as usual. Or Brush on a lavender mineral powder corrector all over as a first step if you wear mineral powder foundation. Several online mineral make-up companies offer this product. Another suggestion is to apply a natural-tone blush or a bit of bronzer under your cheekbones and up toward your hairline. Layer a livelier color, like a sheer red, on the apples of your cheeks only to brighten your whole face.
