Get Clear, Healthy Skin - Here’s A Surprisingly Easy Way
Saturday, August 14th, 2010There is a simple yet surprisingly easy way to get clear, healthy skin. Even so, it’s still going to be important to treat your skin gently. You can do this by cleansing and moisturizing properly. But for that extra little edge in skin care, it’s as simple as cleaning out your make-up bag. Here’s why this will make such a difference.
Each season brings different weather conditions. For that reason you need to use different types of skincare products and cosmetics. For example, in fall and winter you’ll need a rich moisturizer to protect your skin because of the cold, dry air. When spring and summer arrive though, a lighter moisturizer should be applied.
As the weather gets warmer, your skin starts to produce more oils. If you use a lighter moisturizer, you can prevent your skin from becoming greasy and prone to pimples. Another way to avoid blemishes is by switching to a cleanser that is oil-free so the pores of your skin don’t become blocked.
If you can get in the habit of cleaning out your make-up case at the beginning of each season, you will be on your way to clear, healthy skin. Cosmetics have a shorter shelf life than you might expect. They are really no different than most products. Once a product starts to age, it also starts to change. So do you really want to put an out of date product on your sensitive facial skin?
Certain cosmetics age more rapidly than others. For example, your foundation will need to be replaced yearly. Mascara on the other hand, should only be used for 3 months.
Unfortunately it’s very difficult to tell how long a product has been sitting on a shelf in a warehouse waiting to be shipped. Few products have a date stamp on them. So the best way to avoid problems is to just get in the habit of buying fresh products, at the beginning of a season. This is especially important for seasonal kinds of products.
So for example, when winter arrives, replace that rich moisturizing cream that you use in cold, dry weather. For those cosmetics that you use regularly year round, throw out what’s left and get a fresh supply every season, just to be on the safe side.
If you just cannot bear to part with that perfect make-up brush you have, at least thoroughly clean it every season. But for any brush used around the eyes, the best thing is to toss it and get yourself a new one.
To get an extra little edge towards clear, healthy skin and a glowing complexion, get that make-up bag cleaned out.
