Easy Effective Tips To Moisturize Your Skin
Follow these tips to keep your skin as healthy, smooth, and sexy as ever!
- After a bath or shower, apply moisturizers to lock the moisture into your skin.
- Alternate between oil-based and water-based moisturizers if you have combination skin.
- Choose an oil-free, water-based moisturizer for oily skin.
- Choose a thick, oil-based moisturizer for exceptionally dry skin.
- Choose a gentle, fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic moisturizer for sensitive skin.
- Do not apply moisturizers too often because it can result in clogged pores.
- Focus on other body parts besides your face. Moisturizing is vital on dry elbows, knees, legs, breasts, and other areas that may be prone to flaking and chapping.
- It's never too early to start moisturizing your skin and to protect it from the signs of aging.
- Mature skin may benefit from moisturizing products that contain alpha-hydroxy acid, selenium, or Tropoelastin.
- Pick a moisturizer that contains a low level of sunscreen, like SPF 15. It keeps your skin soft and smooth while preventing the negative effects of harmful UV rays.
- Strengthen your skin by choosing moisturizers that contain Vitamin A and Vitamin E.
- Wear lots of warm clothes, as well as gloves, scarves, and hats in the winter to prevent chapped skin and loss of moisture.
Have you ever wondered about all of those little palettes of color and if they are really too old to be usable any longer? It hurts to throw away makeup that hasn't been used up, but for safety's sake, you should give it a little thought.
According to the FDA:
"Cosmetic products are generally formulated and tested for a shelf life of 1- 3 years under normal storage conditions, depending on a product's composition, packaging, preservation, and other factors. Consumers should be aware that expiration dates are simply "rules of thumb," and that a product's safety may expire long before the expiration date if the product has not been properly stored. Cosmetics that have been improperly stored, for example exposed to high temperatures or sunlight or opened and examined by consumers prior to final sale, may deteriorate substantially before the expiration date. On the other hand, products stored under ideal conditions may be acceptable long after the expiration date has been reached."
Even properly stored, contaminants will get "into" the product... especially eye makeup. Think about what you are using to dip into the product each time...
So a good a rule of thumb of how long makeup can be stored:
- Lipstick: 1 year
- Eye Makeup : 3 months
- Blush: 6 months
- Nail Polish: 2 years if stored properly
