What’s hiding in your makeup case?

Sometimes it can seem like you are doing all the right things for your skin—eating well, staying out of the sun, applying quality skincare products—yet your skin looks far from its best. Breakouts, redness, itching: you’re at your wits’ end! You don’t know what else to do.

Could your makeup be the culprit?

Makeup matters

People spend a lot of time and money on sophisticated skincare products and treatments but often don’t realise that their makeup plays an equally important role in their skin’s health.

When faced with rows of pretty colours, heady fragrances and sensual packaging, reading the ingredients list on a bottle of foundation or a powder compact can be the last thing on your mind. But knowing what’s in your makeup can make a huge difference to the quality of your skin. Many cosmetic brands regularly use ingredients such as talc, fragrances and colours that can aggravate conditions like rosacea and acne, or even create new problems.

Saving face

Keep your skin smooth and clear with these makeup tips:

·    Read the fine print – Check the ingredients list before purchasing products and avoid makeup that includes fragrances, parabens, binders or synthetic dyes.

·    Keep it clean – You’re only as good as your tools: opt for naturally fibred makeup brushes and remember to clean regularly with warm water and a mild shampoo.

·    Say goodbye – Makeup isn’t meant to last forever. Conduct a regular makeup stocktake and discard any products that have changed colour, consistency or smell.
