Cosmetics have a certain date after they should not be used. Many of us stock up cosmetics without realizing that opened cosmetics or regularly used cosmetics develop bacteria, which when applied can cause acne and irritate the skin. A favorite lipstick or a shade of eye shadow kept too long is not preserved but an enemy for the skin. If you do not use a known brand or even if it happens to a top brand, all cosmetics have a due date.
There are two ways you can go about to make your cosmetics last longer i.e. using your cosmetics wisely by avoiding wastage and also by avoiding spoilage.
For liquids like glosses, paint pots, mascaras, liners, liquids lipsticks, dispose off that crossed maximum a year cause this can get gooey and stocky and cannot be cleaned. Instead buy new ones to replace these.
For your face products like powder, blushes clean your makeup tools regularly. Wash your brushes and sponges and trim your brushes to avoid shedding and accumulation of bacteria. By working your brushes on your face and then again touches your powder with it, there is chance you will end up transferring facial oil to it. Your cakes can harden over time as a result to this. Same goes for women who apply makeup using fingers. This increases the changes of bacteria existing on makeup. Use a scraping knife to take off the top layer from time to time and if you want instead using only a bit, you can scrape the bit and put it on a palette.
Try using alternatives for your products like talc in place of loose powder, Vaseline in place of lip gloss. If you have a box full of nail polishes and haven’t used them for a while now, add alcohol to them to avoid sticky nail paints. Do not use nail polish remover as it weakens the paint molecules.
If you do not want to bear the cost of expensive make ups and sponges, use cotton buds and pads as the soft cotton helps brush loose powder evenly on the face.
