How To Deal With Skin Allergies Due To Make Up

Tips On Using Make-Up To Avoid Any Cosmetic Allergy:
There are several ways in which you can avoid using products that give you allergies and cause skin infections.

1. Before you buy cosmetics or a product, read the label carefully. If you are aware of the ingredient that has caused you an allergy, do not buy it, instead use a cosmetic that doesn’t have that ingredient in it. Do not take the chance to get another allergy by using the same product.
2. Do a patch test of the product that you are interested in buying. Put a little of it on your wrist or elbow and wait for 24 hours to see if there is a reaction.
3. Allow perfumes or deodorants to your clothes instead of your skin, it is better safe than sorry and saves you the problems to deal with allergies.
4. Keep the product simple in the sense, buy a product that has fewer ingredients. If the products have fewer ingredients then it becomes easier to pinpoint on the source if you have any sort of reaction.
5. Be careful with the kind of make-up that you are using as it is in direct touch with the skin. Use for products that are hypo-allergic, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, although the labels sometimes give out the wrong information and they still might be allergic.
6. Be careful while applying cosmetics. Keep your hands and face clean before application as it might have germs and get onto the skin.
7. If you want to test a product in the sales department, as the counter person to give you a clean or new applicator for testing the cosmetic and tell him to wash it in alcohol before you use it.
8. Never ever share make-up, it’s the worst thing you could do. You are inviting trouble if you do so.
9. Keep the container that holds the cosmetic tightly closed except when you are using it. Keep it dust-free.
10. Do not keep cosmetics close to heat and keep it away from direct sunlight.
11. If you have an eye infection or are suffering from conjunctivitis, which is red eyes and burning sensation, and if you have any sort of eye infection, do not use cosmetics. Use it after the infection has gone and throw away the used make-up and buy new ones.
12. If the cosmetic gives out an odor or they are discoloured it means that they are spoilt, there are no preservatives present in them and it cant fight bacteria. It is then time to throw them out and replace them with new ones.
13. If the consistency of the product changes, do not add water instead discard them.
14. Clean the applicator brush and the appliances for make-up after every use.
