The Halloween and Day of the Dead parties are back and with them, the preparation to achieve a terrifyingly spectacular look, in which taking care of even the smallest detail, especially your health, will make a difference.
No matter how cool or original your costume, accessories, hairstyle or wig are, the magic touch of your appearance will be given by a well-executed makeup, and to do so, it is important that you consider some basic and simple aspects to take care of your skin.
wear new makeup
If you have the makeup palette saved from your last Halloween, throw it away. Fantasy makeup contains substances that create the perfect environment for the growth of bacteria and fungi that, when in contact with your skin and eyes, are very likely to cause any illness such as infections, allergies, irritation or in the least cases, terrifying acne breakouts.
Sanitize your brushes and sponges
How often do you wash your sponges and brushes? Do you let them dry properly or do you keep them wet?
Correct hygiene of the materials you use to make up, not only on Halloween but on a regular basis, is very important so as not to contaminate your palettes and to avoid skin infections.
Sanitize your brushes and sponges with products of natural origin, which in addition to being biodegradable, guarantee you to protect them longer against a wide spectrum of microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria and fungi, which are the ones that commonly live in them and then contaminate your make-up.
If it is common for you to share makeup with your friends, partner and even, at this time with your children, cross it out! The makeup and the instruments to apply it are for personal use.
If you absolutely cannot have an individual palette, sanitize people’s skin before applying makeup, as well as palettes and equipment before and after use.
prepare your skin
Because wide coverage makeup is usually denser, it is very common that it can clog your pores. To avoid this, choose “non-comedogenic” makeup, or with toxic ingredients; These characteristics can be found on the label.
In addition, it is important to place a cream as a base that serves your skin as a “shield” against the makeup and accessories that you put on it.
withdraw makeup and accessories with specialized products
If you used false eyelashes or silicone attachments, we recommend investing in glue solvents, not ripping them off your skin, because you can surely cause more damage.
On the other hand, due to the density of fantasy makeup, we recommend using makeup remover for oil-based products.
