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

    I would love to learn how to get a nice “natural” look that will even out my skin tone and not make me look like I am wearing three pounds of make-up. I’v always wanted to have nice multi-shade eye make-up but feel like I look a little weird when I try to do it.

    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.

    Do: Wash your makeup off completely every night. It can lead to clogged pores, pimples, and even skin infections.

    Jojoba oil has been great for me! It also really helps moisturize my skin before putting on mineral makeup so I don’t look all

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
