Rule
#01: The perfect shade of foundation is not optional!
There
is nothing worse than seeing pictures of yourself with two different shades. If
there is a skill to perfect, it would be in the art of foundation make up. Get professional
help if need be, but get it right.
Rule
#02: Never pinch your pimples!
Rule
#03: Never leave home without sunblock!
Rule
#04: Don’t’ use too many products at a go!
Even
a non-sensitive skin can be turned around when you overuses products. The formulation
of certain products may also react adversely with others, and the overload of
chemicals on your skin doesn’t help the cause either. So use only what you need
and only when needed.
Rule
#05: Be kind to your brows, don’t over pluck them!
Full,
thick brows are the biggest trend to hit the runaways. To avoid over plucking,
take a step back every few minutes to check your progress. Also, only pluck them after a warm shower when your pores are a little more open.
Rule
#06: Don’t go to the bed with your makeup on!
Sleeping
in your makeup will not only clog your pores, but can also prematurely age your
skin.
Rule
#07: Throw your old makeup out!
The
chemical formulas can change once it’s past its due date. Product like mascara can
irritate your eye and may lead to an infection.
Rule
#08: Remember to clean your brushes!
At
least once a week. Your brushes pick up oil, dirt and dead skin every time you
use them and without a good wash it can be a breeding ground for bacteria.
Rule
#09: Cleanse, but don’t over-cleanse!
Over-cleansing
can strip away too much sebum. To compensate the loss your body will produce
even more, leaving you with an oiler complexion then when you started.
Rule
#10: Pamper your hair to!
For
all the hair flips we do, your crowning glory sometimes doesn’t get more
attention than the regular wash. To keep it healthy, shiny and flip-worthy, use
a hair mask at least once a week.
