“This partnership with Cetaphil comes so naturally as skincare and makeup go hand in hand,” said Alexx Mayo, professional makeup artist. “Applying makeup for one of my artists on an international tour means factoring in countless sweaty rehearsals, performances in different climates, and dramatic looks that need to hold up on a jumbotron. These demands can unfortunately wreak havoc on the skinespecially if they have sensitive skin. I’ve always been a fan of Cetaphil because their gentle formulas work wonders on my skin, so recommending it to Lizzo for skin prep and ongoing maintenance was a no-brainer.”

In addition, Mayo also will create social content on how he utilizes Cetaphil as a fundamental part of Lizzo’s pre-show glam routine.

“Research is at the foundation of everything we do at Cetaphil and that starts with understanding the symptoms and triggers of sensitive skin,” said Matthew Meckfessel, Ph.D, director of medical affairs. “Cosmetics are a main trigger of sensitive skin due to the regular and sometimes abrasive usage. Hydrating the skin barrier and cleansing with a gentle cleanser may help minimize irritation and create a better foundation for makeup to be applied. Products like our Hydrating Foaming Cream Cleanser and Daily Oil-Free Facial Moisturizer SPF 35 contain ingredients such as glycerin, panthenol and niacinamide to ensure a protected skin barrier, ultimately allowing for color cosmetics to apply more evenly and have longer wear.”
