Makeup Mistakes That Age You
Depending on how you apply it, makeup can either accentuate your features or age you. Here are five errors you should never make and some foolproof steps to avoid them!
#1 NOT MOISTURISING YOUR LIPS
Applying lip balm before putting lipstick can instantly brighten, smooth, soften, and plump lips back to a pouty pucker. When lips are dry they look dehydrated, wrinkled, and deflated. Dry lips could also crack and flake, which does not look nice at any age. So ladies, remember to keep your favorite lip balm in your makeup bag and reapply as needed!
#2 SKIPPING MOISTURIZER BEFORE SLEEP
You might be thinking that there's no need to use moisturiser on oily skin, but the truth is, a hydrating and nourishing skin actually brings oily skin back into balance. Look for a lightweight, preferably in gel or lotion type if you are afraid of greasiness or heaviness of moisturiser. Remember to always moisturise your skin before putting on make up to smooth fine lines and let the makeup hold better throughout the day.
#3 NOT WEARING SPF UNDER MAKEUP
Is the SPF in your makeup enough to protect your skin? The answer, NO. The amount of SPF in your foundation is not the same as what you’ll be getting in a sunscreen. Plus, after touching your face, blowing your nose and blotting at oily spots on your forehead all day, it wears off, leaving your skin vulnerable to UV rays the next time you go out in the sun. By applying sunscreen with an SPF beneath your makeup, you’re protected and good to go. For the best protection, apply sunscreen every day, year-round, in every type of weather at least 15 minutes before leaving the house.
#4 SLEEPING WITH MAKEUP ON
Failing to remove your makeup before bed time can lead to things like the early development of wrinkles, breakouts, and dry skin. You will have a nice new friend on your face waiting to greet you in the morning! Breakouts are extremely common after sleeping in makeup, because it often leads to clogged pores, leading to pimples.
Aside from the makeup on your skin, you’re also failing to cleanse your skin of all the dirt, grime, and bacteria that has accumulated on your face throughout the day. Even though it may be invisible to the naked eye, it’s still there. That aside, you’ll also transfer your face full of makeup to your pillow, so you’re essentially just stewing in your old makeup. Even further, if you don’t wash your pillows regularly, chances are the next few nights you’ll be sleeping in this makeup again when your face meets the dirty pillow. So, what can you do now? First thing’s first – remove that makeup ASAP
#5 NEGLECTING YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE
No matter how great your makeup routine, you're not doing yourself any favours if you don't take care of the skin underneath. At the very least, remove your makeup every night to avoid buildup and start with the basics. A skincare routine doesn’t have to be super complicated. In fact, it should only be a few products: a cleanser, a toner, moisturiser, a spot treatment (if needed), and of course, sunscreen.
Identify what your skin craves. Your routine doesn’t have to be a list long, but do make sure that each skincare product serves a specific purpose and function. If you take care of your skin every day as you should, trust me, you’ll be rewarded with clearer and healthier skin.
