Clinique Cosmetics - Tips on Safe Makeup Use

By Kathy Summer

Women love using makeup to cover some unwanted blemishes and imperfections that can be seen clearly by naked eyes. They love using makeup to look prettier and eventually be more confident in showing their face to anyone. However, what these most women failed to realize is that use of makeup can destroy their face, making it unhealthy full of bacteria, acne, and other infections. But of course it's still possible for these women to have a healthy skin despite use of makeup. They just have to educate themselves with some tips on safe makeup use like the ones we have below.

Safe Makeup Use Tips

Washing of Hands/Fingers

If you apply makeup barely with your fingers, be sure your hands/fingers are always clean. Be aware that your fingers produce natural oils that can eventually create breakouts and other skin inflictions. Not to mention that they too have contact with germs very often. Thus, it's best to always wash your hands/fingers before grabbing your makeup.

Washing of Face

It's a good habit to wash your face at night or in the morning before you put on makeup. Doing so will keep you away from danger of breakouts, black heads, and blocked and expanding pores. You must be aware that not washing your face before you put on your makeup may cause you a lot of unwanted skin problems. Nonetheless, if your face is dirty and you immediately put on your makeup most likely dirt inside your pores will be trapped and eventually during the day will be covered by more dirt and oil.

Keeping Your Makeup Safe

Be sure that you will always be using a clean makeup. Thus, it's important that you keep your makeup, particularly the brushes you use in safe place away from some possible sources of dirt and germs. The more your brushes or other makeup products are exposed to dirt and germs, the greater the possibility you will have skin problems later because you will actually be using them.

Using Own Makeup

Always use your own makeup. Never borrow makeup from your friend and never lend your makeup to any friend as well. Sharing makeup with a friend is not a good idea. Let's say even though your friend looks clean and is hygienic, still you don't know if she has bacteria and germs underneath her pores. Always think of the consequences. - 15438
