Heavy Makeup Rescue

Your Skin Has Had Enough. Your Performance Day Hasn’t.

You’ve been in makeup for hours.

Under stage lights. In and out of rehearsals. Waiting between takes. Having makeup touched up, reapplied and expected to stay exactly where it is.

Your skin feels hot. Tight. Dry. Irritated. Perhaps it simply feels as though it would very much like you to take everything off.

Except you can’t.

You still have another scene. Another act. Another take. Another appearance.

And a twelve-step skincare routine in the dressing room isn’t exactly an option.

Heavy Makeup Rescue gives you something else to try.

In this practical online course, you’ll learn simple Jin Shin Jyutsu® self-help practices you can explore during long days in makeup—without skincare products, special equipment or removing your makeup.

What Can You Do When the Makeup Has to Stay On?

Most skincare routines happen before you put your makeup on or after you finally take it off.

But performers have another problem:

What do you do during the hours in between?

Heavy Makeup Rescue was created around the realities of performing and production work.

You may be backstage.

Waiting on set.

Between takes.

Sitting in a dressing room.

Halfway through a rehearsal day.

Or counting the hours until somebody finally says, “That’s a wrap.”

Instead of simply waiting until you can remove your makeup, you’ll have a collection of discreet Jin Shin self-help practices to explore along the way.

Hot or Red Under the Lights?

Stage lights, long hours and heavy makeup can leave skin feeling hot, uncomfortable or visibly stressed.

You’ll learn a simple Jin Shin Jyutsu self-help practice to explore when heat and redness become part of your performance day.

No products need to be applied over your makeup.

Use your hands. Try the practice. Notice what happens.

Skin Feeling Reactive?

Sometimes a long day in makeup doesn’t agree with your skin.

You’ll explore another Jin Shin approach you can use when your skin feels reactive or when breakouts are a concern during periods of prolonged makeup wear and demanding schedules.

This isn’t a replacement for dermatological care or treatment for a skin condition. It is an additional self-help practice you can experiment with alongside appropriate skincare and professional care when needed.

Dry, Tight or Just Completely Fed Up?

By the end of a long performance day, skin can feel dry, tight and exhausted from hours of makeup wear.

You’ll learn another simple practice to explore when your skin feels as though it needs some attention—even when you aren’t yet able to give it your usual skincare routine.

And because no products are required, you can use the practice without interfering with the makeup that still has to get you through the rest of the day.

The One Thing to Remember While You’re Waiting

Performers spend an extraordinary amount of time waiting.

Waiting backstage. Waiting for your scene. Waiting for lighting. Waiting for another take. Waiting for somebody else to finish.

Heavy Makeup Rescue turns some of that waiting time into an opportunity.

You’ll learn one foundational Jin Shin self-help practice that’s simple enough to remember and use throughout a long production or performance day.

No elaborate routine.

No equipment.

Just something you can actually do while you’re waiting.

Why Jin Shin Jyutsu®?

Jin Shin Jyutsu is a traditional Japanese practice that works with a system of energy pathways and points on the body.

In Heavy Makeup Rescue, you’ll learn selected self-help practices and the traditional Jin Shin thinking behind them.

You don’t need any previous Jin Shin experience.

And you don’t need to assume that a particular practice will produce a particular result.

Try it.

Pay attention to how your skin and body feel beforehand.

Use the practice.

Then notice what, if anything, changes for you.

Made for the Realities of Performing

Heavy Makeup Rescue is particularly relevant if you’re a:

singer, actor, dancer, musical theatre performer, presenter or on-camera performer who regularly spends long hours in stage or production makeup.

The practices are designed to be simple enough to explore:

backstage · on set · between takes · during rehearsals · in dressing rooms · while waiting

And because they don’t require skincare products, you don’t have to wait until the makeup finally comes off before doing something for yourself.

Your Makeup May Have to Stay On. You Still Have Options.

Heavy Makeup Rescue isn’t skincare treatment, and it isn’t promising to prevent irritation, breakouts or other skin problems caused by makeup.

Persistent, severe or concerning skin symptoms should be assessed by an appropriate healthcare professional or dermatologist.

What this course gives you is something different:

a small collection of Jin Shin Jyutsu self-help practices you can explore within the realities of your working day.

Because sometimes the makeup has to stay on.

The lights have to stay on.

And the performance has to go on.

But you can still have something you can actually use.
