1. Your foundation will look only as good as the
skin underneath. To get an even, smooth look, cleanse and exfoliate
regularly.
2. If you have sensitive skin and are prone to
allergic reactions make sure you test new cosmetics on a small patch
either on the inside of your arm or your neck. If after 24 hours you
don't have a reaction it is safe to use the product.
3. If you have acne or find you cannot use any
skin care products without getting an allergic reaction or dry itchy
skin, make an appointment with a dermatologist.
4. Use mascara sparingly. Using too much will make
your eyelashes stick together and form into blobs. Dip your brush only
once to do both eyes making sure you twist, not pump the brush.
5. No matter how tempting it might be to drop into
bed after being out late, don't do it. Your skin will thank you if you
remove all traces of makeup and apply your skin care cream before going
to bed.
6. Take care of the skin around your neck as well
as your face by applying moisturizer. This is a delicate area which is
quick to show wrinkles.
7. Cosmetics do not last forever and using old
products can cause irritations. Here are some guidelines:
* Foundation - 1 year
* Concealer - 1 year
* Powder - 2 years
* Mascara - 3 months
* Lipstick - 1 year
* Eye pencil - 1 year
* Eye Shadow - 1 year
* Powder Blush - 2 years
* Cream Blush - 6 months
* Moisturizer - 1 year
* Eye Cream - 1 year
* Sun Screen - l year
