Beautymark Co-owner Tayler Rogers Offers Skin Care Tips
good face and body wash and for makeup: waterproof mascara and tinted moisturizer.
Q: I am a runner, what steps should I take to maintain healthy skin on a regular basis?
A: Sunscreen is a pretty obvious answer but it is very important. Also, watching what time of the day you are out running. Try to avoid the peak sun times as you’ll be exposing yourself to the harshest sun. Something that has been really interesting this year is that it has come out how bad pollution is for your skin. It’s a major contributor to aging in the skin, so if you are out running in the city that is definitely something to consider. Adding a purifying mask or a powerful detoxifying ingredient like charcoal is something we really recommend. Tata Harper is an all natural line that has an amazing mask to use once a week. Midnight Paloma is from Vancouver and they have an entire line dedicated to charcoal! There are lots of options
Q: What is the biggest skincare concern for women while working out and afterwards?
A: Breakouts would be the big one. If you create excess sebum while working out and don’t cleanse properly you will get breakouts. This isn’t just on your face, body break outs are very common too. It can be really difficult because different skin types that suffer from breakouts might not need a stronger ingredient to clean out the skin than others. Investing in a good quality wash and toner will help out big time with this. And always moisturize!
Q: What are some quick makeup tips or ways to look fabulous after a workout?
A: Tinted moisturizer, mascara, brow liner + a lip/cheek tint! Q: If the runner has problem skin like blemishes, what would you recommend?
A: Having a non-irritating breakout treatment is a great option. We have one from Tata Harper that you can wear underneath makeup or overnight. It’s nondrying (with) a lot of healing properties, as well as a break out treatment.
Q: Tell us about Beautymark and how your makeup/skin care products are different?
A: Beautymark has been established since 2001 and we were one of the first small boutique skincare/makeup spots in Vancouver (note: it’s available online), so we’ve built up a really loyal clientele. We differ with our customer service in that we love working one on one with our customers, asking questions about what they are looking for. We love to provide an inviting atmosphere and (we know) it can be super intimidating to walk into a store with so many products! We source brands that follow our stores ethos. The store in cruelty free, there are no products that are tested on animals. We try to support local, Canadian made brands as well. All natural is a big thing too, clean ingredients that work are super important to us!
