Modern make-up is a breeding ground for bacteria and other nasties that do our delicate skin no good. And other beauty procedures, such as waxing and tanning, also pose significant health risks if not conducted safely and sensibly.
Eye Make-up
Bacteria adore eye shadow, mascara and eyeliner, particularly if you’ve been using it for years and even more so if you share it with your friends.
A study in the UK found that a quarter of women shared their eye make-up, even though many of them suffered from highly contagious infections, such as conjunctivitis, and were using products that were over five years old.
If you regularly suffer from itchy, watery or red eyes, check the use-by date on your favourite mascara. Throw away any eye make-up that’s at least a year old, and replace mascara every six months. Replacing applicators is just as important. Using an old applicator with a new product will contaminate it.
Don’t use your friends’ products; buy each other new ones as birthday or holiday gifts rather than risk sharing more than just a good night out. Always remove eye make-up before going to bed and don’t put it near your eyes when testing a new product in a shop; use your hand instead.
If you’re a contact lens user, these good practices are doubly important, as is washing your hands between applying make-up and putting in or taking out your contact lenses.
