We present you some tips for skin care.
Make-up and skin care are generally regarded as women’s forte. Men seldom indulge in ‘Makeup and skin care.
Many men do care for their skin but make-up is really alien to most men.
Treating make-up and skin care as different topics wouldn’t make sense; after all, make-up will work only if the skin is healthy.
So how do you exercise make-up and skin care, together?
Here are some tips for make-up and skin care:
1. Always have skin care in mind, whether you are buying products for makeup or actually applying them onto your skin after you have bought them. So what you are buying is a ‘make-up and skin care product, not just a make-up product. Check the ingredients to see if it contains things that you might be allergic to. Also, check if it contains high concentration chemicals that can harm your skin.
2. ‘Make-up and skin care is also about testing the products before using them. So, apply the makeup on a small patch of skin e.g. earlobes, and check how your skin reacts to it.
3. Keep track of the expiry date on your makeup products and never use them beyond the expiry date. In fact, some products (e.g. vitamin C-based products), if not stored properly, get spoilt much earlier than the expiry date.
4. Cleanliness is an important part of make-up and skin care procedure. Sharpen your eye-liners regularly and keep all your makeup equipment clean at all times. You might fix a date, each month, for overhauling your equipment. As part of cleanliness, your make-up and skin care procedure should also include keeping your hair clean at all times.
5. Nail care is another important aspect of make-up and skincare. Use a good quality nail polish and always keep your nails clean. Once you are done cleaning and polishing your nails, you should rub in cuticle oil at the edges of the nail.
6. If you have deep-set eyes, you should use a liquid eyeliner instead of a pencil one. This will prevent smudging at the deep edges of your eyelid.
7. If you have a skin disorder e.g. acne, you should not apply heavy or chemical-based makeup. Consult your dermatologist if you are not sure about the makeup products that you can use when you have acne or other skin disorder. Never try to squeeze pimples/ acne. Remember that make-up and skincare should not conflict with each other.
8. Use a mild makeup remover (instead of just washing it away).
9. Another important ‘make-up and skin care procedure is the following golden rule: “Never sleep with your make-up on”
10. While applying a deodorant, make sure that you maintain the recommended distance between the nozzle and your skin (as mentioned on the deodorant pack).
