- Which of the following may attract the sun's UV rays to your lips?
- High-gloss sheer lipstick. Sheer, high-gloss lipsticks offer little protection and can attract damaging UV rays to your lips. If you want the wet look, apply an opaque lipstick first, then top with the gloss. Use a lip balm with at least SPF 30.
- Which product should you replace every 3 months?
- Mascara. Because of the risk of eye infections, you may not be able to use eye makeup, including mascara, eyeliner, and eye shadow, as long as you would other products. Liquid or creamy makeup can harbor bacteria more easily, so some experts recommend replacing your mascara every three months. If mascara dries out, don't add water or saliva to moisten it. That can introduce bacteria.
- Look for eye creams with antioxidants, retinol, and peptides. They can prevent and improve sagging skin.
- Puffy eyes? We've all been there! Next time, try an eye cream with caffeine to help get rid of extra water. Cool compresses can be a quick fix. And cutting back on tea, coffee, alcohol, and salt can help.
- Nothing says "I need a nap" like dark circles! The key to covering them up is moisturizing first. Next, apply primer before putting on your concealer. Be careful not to overdo it. Too much concealer draws more attention to the area. For really dark circles, go for a smoky eye, which draws focus away from the under-eye area.
- Eye creams are made just for the thin, sensitive skin around your eyes. They may be less irritating than regular face creams. Use fragrance-free eye creams because fragrance can irritate eyes and cause swelling or even allergic reactions. Tip: Keep eye creams in the refrigerator. The cool temperature can help ease puffiness.
