Silk & Pearl Powder

Silk & Pearl Powder

Right around New Years my Mom asked me if I would have her a powder for her face. She’s a stroke survivor and is finally to the point in her recovery that she’s able to care for her appearance on her own again, something she always took great pride in. Thanks to amazing genetics, the women in my family never look their age, and unfortunately the stroke made the years stack up against my Mom fairly quickly.

I set about to formulate a simple powder finish for her that would help with her skin as well as be easy to apply. Although pearl and silk are not my thing, they do wonders when combined.

I placed a small order from TKB for Allantoin (to heal heal her skin), Silica (to add a bit of soft focus), Micronized Pearl Powder (to help lighten age spots and unevenness), C-Smax (for slip and wear), and Micronized Fine Silk Powder. I even used a little Kaolin Clay for absorption, in case she gets caught in a hot flash.
