A lot of people would suggest you to stay away from makeup giving various different reasons. But as a dermatologist, I think it is okay to use make up but of course it has some conditions attached to it. We encourage make up as it provides a protective layer to your facial skin and also covers the imperfections beautifully.
Make up can enhance your features by highlighting different areas of your facial skin. However, it is important that you use only good quality make up products and use the right method to apply it. And while many of us master the art of everyday make up, we forget that removing the makeup is really really inescapable. I thought of compiling the best makeup practices for you so that you’ll never have to worry about damaging your skin by dermatologist in south delhi and here you go.
1. The Correct Use of Foundation and Concealer – The first thing to know about Foundation and Concealer is the right shade for your skin tone. So, you should always match the shade of your foundation with your chest and a concealer of the same shade for your face. Although for darker areas such as under eyes one shade lighter than your foundation is recommended.
2. Know the Shelf Life of Your Makeup – Yes I know that you love that expensive mascara, but did you check its expiry date? So, a major mistake women make is not to discard the old and expired beauty products. Still don’t want to let go? Let me tell you that it may foster bacteria and cause serious harm to your skin.
3. Maintain hygiene – Now, most of you must be thinking that you already wash your face and regularly cleanse, tone & moisturize. Okay. Simply rinsing your face after a long hectic day is not enough. You need to remove your makeup every night before going to bed and wash it properly. Use skin products prescribed by your dermatologist for best results. But how often do you clean your makeup brushes? This is the most neglected part of facial hygiene. As we already discussed about how old and expired makeup products can harm your skin, similarly dirty makeup brush will foster dirt and cause bacteria which might as well ruin your makeup products. We suggest washing your makeup brushes at least once a month with warm soapy water.
4. Is it okay to use same makeup routine always? – No. Yes, you must have heard people insisting to stick to a makeup routine but after menopause your skin loses moisture and becomes drier due to hormonal changes. Therefore, you’ll need to use makeup products accordingly and find a new makeup routine suitable for your skin.
As one of the best dermatologists in Delhi, we provide a number of skin treatments to help you look younger and get rid of wrinkles, loose skin, dark circles with the help of general & cosmetic dermatology. But you develop a healthy skin care routine you’ll be amazed how much difference it can make to your skin.
