How to fight the tired face: tips for Meghan Markle during pregnancy

Meghan Markle has had to shorten the schedule on the tour with Prince Harry in Australia and New Zealand. The reason is only a natural tiredness due to her first pregnancy. Exhaustion which, on the other hand, has not yet made a dent on his face, which looks with little dark, rested, well lit and fresh thanks to the coloring that knows well how to use to enhance its natural beauty, and without covering up those freckles that are so characteristic and that favor him so much.

In order for the Duchess of Sussex to maintain this healthy and natural aspect for the nine months, which, moreover, has generated so many praises during the engagement and subsequent marriage to Prince Harry, we have consulted several experts who have revealed different keys to the appearance of a radiant and rested skin.

Cosmetic care for rested skin

What are we talking about when we say that a face is' tired'? We refer to wrinkles and small lines more marked than usual; to an opaque, greyish complexion, with little life and light, and to deeper dark ones (we will deal with them at a separate point).

In general, these signs that increase the feeling of weariness of the skin can be attenuated with good night care that allows the skin to rest properly as well. It should be borne in mind that "the maximum moment of skin regeneration takes place between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m.", comments Pedro García Maggi, director of the Skeen brand. "the skin's biological watch is programmed for skin stem cells to reproduce when the skin is safe, that is, when it is not working to protect the body from solar radiation." The night action cosmetics best suited for this regeneration and subsequent good skin awakening are, as Pedro Catalá explains, cosmetologist and founder of twelve beauty, "those that contain polyphenols, antioxidants that repair cells and have calming action (the skin is usually slightly inflamed after a long day) and essential lipids that repair the epidermal barrier such as ceramics and omega fatty acids 3 and 6".

When pregnant, Meghan Markle should also take into account day care, fight to improve that tone off and the possible appearance of hormonal stains, which reduce luminosity to the face: illuminating serums, moisturizing creams with some pigment that reflects the light.

Pedro Catalá draws up the following list of natural cosmetic ingredients that act on the unwanted production of melanin and calm skin tissues, while also suitable for pregnant women: "milenrama, mint, primula, buddleja and mallet. Also, waxy extract of germinated barley is optimal to de-stress skins affected by hormonal changes".

On the contrary, Pedro Catalá discourages the use of pure essential oils, which, although very effective, pose the greatest threat during pregnancy due to their purity and concentration.

Round with the eyes

Sometimes, using an eye contour is counterproductive, especially at night, because the delicate area around it, if enclosed by a dense texture, does not drain properly and encourages the appearance of bags and dark circles. That is why Pedro Catalá advises the use of light textures (gels and emulsions) that, when applied, slip through the area without having to apply them to little touches: "the skin is so thin, five to ten times more than the rest, that some capillaries could be broken, causing bags under the eye." As far as assets are concerned, he is in favour of using a combination of peptides and plant antioxidants to help maintain collagen and elastin, while preserving the unsaturated and healthy area. If we focus on the dark circles, we must not forget the formulations that incorporate pigments that reflect the light, called 'soft focus', which create an optical effect that disguises the dark of the eye.

Makeup tricks...

Let's not fool ourselves. How many times have we pulled corrector to get rid of the scraps and the result has been even worse? He gets into the creeps and marks them more, leaves the famous raccoon effect, when the eye is so quiet that it catches more attention than if it were dark... So that Meghan Markle does not suffer these negative consequences, Rodial makeup artist Jon Rummis points out the correct method of use: "after hydrating the area, a corrector is applied that does not dry or quart, better creamy. It applies to touches, with the ring finger, from the tear area outward, drawing a kind of triangle, focusing more on the central part, where the area is dyed darker." For a lasting result, the corrector is fixed with specific loose powders, called 'baking powder', which also provide more light in the area.

As for the rest of the makeup, there is little to advise Meghan Markle, as the illuminator and a natural base that leaves his famous freckles in sight are two basics she already uses every day. Still, Jon Rummis lists the steps of a basic makeup to remove our tired face:

... and a perfect hairstyle

Yes, there are pine trees that remove the tired face from a feather. Although she does not get among the top of Meghan markle, Eva Ruiz, technical director of Maison Eduardo Sánchez, suggests: "to opt for a hairstyle that raises the face, that enhances the features a little, like a high tail, although in this case, so that the face does not look so clear and the signs of tiredness may be more evident, we will leave a few strands in order to disguise that the face is not completely clear." And yes, the loose mattresses is very Duchess of Sussex.
