Beauty tip: Taking Care of your cosmetics

We girls know the joy of buying cosmetics and how easy it is to just snap an eyeshadow here or a lipstick there but taking care of it is another story. All cosmetics now have expiration dates at the back of the product. Some of you who are familiar with it have seen it, it's a picture of a container with a number on it (meaning the months it has to be consumed). From that point, you must know how to preserve its quality. Here are some tips I've learned over the years that I hope you will remember to do:

1. Never expose them to the sun. Heat does not act well with them that's why some end up discolored. When this happens, I suggest you not use it anymore.

2. Also check the smell. Especially your day/night creams and lipsticks.

3. Use a small spatula to transfer your creams, etc. to a smaller container- this prevents them from being contaminated. The spatulas usually come with the product but if not, you can buy them at Beabi (greenbelt 5).

4. If you really must use your fingers, please wash them thoroughly. You don't want an unexpected trip to your dermatologist or an acne problem because of this.

That's it for now. If you wish to share other tips please feel free to do so. We'd love to hear from you. Au revoir!
