HELPFUL TIPS FROM THE BEAUTY THERAPISTS AT THE IVY CLINIC IN TEDDINGTON
While certain beauty short cuts might be helpful time savers, there are some short cuts that are just not worth taking!
Check out the following beauty short cuts to avoid:
Sleeping in your make up!
So you come home at the end of a long night and all you want to do is go sleep. Make-up and all. Sound familiar?
While it might seem like the easy option at the time, sleeping in your make-up can be disastrous for your skin.
Get into the habit of regularly removing all traces of make-up before you hit the hay.
Popping Spots!
Nobody likes having a spot on their face, no matter how big or small it is.
But popping them in the hope that they’ll go away quicker is a no-no.
Popping your pimples can cause bacteria to spread and in some cases result in scarring too.
You’re better off leaving pimples alone and reducing their appearance with spot treatments containing salycilic acid or benyzol peroxide.
Skipping Sunscreen!
If there’s one thing you should not scrimp on, it’s sunscreen.
Protect your skin from harmful rays by wearing sunscreen, or SPF make-up, when you’re outdoors.
A little bit of extra time and effort spent putting on sunscreen is nothing compared to premature ageing from harmful UVA rays or the increased risk of getting skin cancer.
Not washing your make-up tools!
Germs and bacteria can be easily spread by make-up products and tools.
Prevent this from happening by regularly washing and cleaning your make-up tools.
The longer you leave it, the worse it’s likely to be.
It might seem time consuming, but regularly cleaning your make-up tools is a good habit to get into.
