Health Tip: Strive for Beautiful, Healthy Skin
It takes some work to keep skin clear, moisturized and looking young and healthy.
The Cleveland Clinic offers these skin care suggestions:
- Drink a lot of water every day. It will show on the outside.
- Gently but thoroughly wash your face twice each day.
- Always remove makeup before bed.
- Eat a healthy, balanced diet.
- Use a toner after you wash to get rid of any leftover dirt, makeup or oil.
- Always use a moisturizer, even if your skin is oily. You may opt for an oil-free brand.
Health Tip: Safe Use of Contact Lenses
It can be difficult to see that cosmetics and contact lenses may not mix, especially if the cosmetics are misapplied.
The University of Virginia Health System offers these suggestions for contact lens wearers who use makeup:
- Always wash your hands before putting contact lenses in or taking them out.
- Keep cosmetic brushes and other tools clean.
- Invest in hypoallergenic cosmetics without fragrance, sparkle, glitter or anything else that may contain irritants such as crushed oyster shell or tinsel.
- Put lenses in first, then put on your cosmetics.
- Never wear someone else's makeup, or let anyone else borrow yours.
- Never re-use an old mascara applicator.
- Be careful to keep creams and powders out of your eyes.
- Skip makeup when your eyes are irritated, infected, swollen or red.
