Make-up-Precautions to follow

The beauty market is flooded with a plethora of cosmetics. Here are some precautions that you should exercise while using cosmetics.

  • Stop using any product that causes an allergic reaction.
  • Keep make-up containers tightly closed when not in use.
  • Keep pressurized containers and aerosols away from heat, fire.
  • Keep make-up away from sunlight to prevent destruction of the preservatives.
  • Follow use-instructions on the product label.
  • Do not exceed recommended applications.
  • Don’t use eye cosmetics on infants and children
  • Don’t use eye cosmetics in case you are suffering from eye infection such as conjunctivitis(pink eye).
  • Throw away any make-up you were using when you first discovered the infection.
  • Never experiment with the product by adding any liquid to bring back its original consistency unless it is written in the instructions. Adding other liquids could introduce germs that can easily grow out of control.
  • Discard the product if you find change in color or odor. This might be due to degradation of preservatives over time, which may not be able to fight bacteria.
  • Do not apply make-up while driving. Not only does this make for dangerous driving, but hitting a bump in the road and scratching your eyeball can cause bacteria to contaminate the cut and could result in serious injury, including blindness.
  • Never share make-up. Try to use disposable applicator.
  • Never use aerosol hairsprays near the heat or while smoking because they can ignite. Hairsprays and powders may cause lung damage if inhaled

    make sure to cleanse, tone and moisturize. Use a foundation sponge, or brush and never use more than need. dont rub but dab it on to even it out. If that doesnt work, i would try a tinted moisturizer

    Never share eye makeup - Because everyone’s skin bacteria is different, sharing cosmetics is a sure fire way to cause cross contamination which leads to eye infections.

    Careful - Eye makeup removers are designed to be used near and around the eye. Makeup removers can cause dryness, itching, and swelling if they get into your eyes so apply with ease and slowly to avoid any from entering the eye

    For removing eye makeup, always use cold cream or petroleum jelly. It is very cheap and gives the best results.

Blame it on your genes or your lifestyle, but, you cannot deny the fact that these are a blot on your beauty . And they become more prominent as you age. Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern.

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.
