Mandys Top Tips

Save Your Skin from premature lines and wrinkles

Always wear an SPF15 or higher sunscreen. Make it easy with foundation that has a built-in SPF, such as Instant Rewind Foundation with SPF15 to protect skin. Protect lips, too, since they’re the area most prone to environmental damage. Moisture Extreme Lipcolor combines SPF15 with the moisturisation of a lip balm.

Take off your make-up every night

Remove eye makeup first, then the rest of your makeup. It’s best to use dedicated eye make-up to remove eye make-up gently – rubbing the eye area unnecessarily can cause irritation & sore eyes!

Dont expose make-up to germs

Never share make-up. Never add liquid to a product, or you may add bacteria as well. Close make-up caps tightly after use. If you have an eye infection, don’t use eye make-up and throw away all the products you used when you discovered the infection. The same rule applies to lip products if you get a cold sore.

Apply acny treatments first if you need them

Put them on before you apply moisturiser or foundation, so they can get to work on your skin.

Wash your brushes to avoid breakouts

Wash your brushes to avoid breakouts and to help bristles last longer. Wet the brush head, lather well with shampoo, rinse with warm water and lay flat on a towel to dry. Brushes for liquid and cream makeup, such as lipcolor, foundation, concealer, cream eye shadow, should be washed daily. Wash all other brushes once a week, or at least every two weeks. Here’s a smart tip between washings: Swipe the bristles with antibacterial wipes after each use. The brushes will dry in about three minutes.

Choose mascara if you only have time for one product

Apply one coat to make eyes look bigger, better and brighter.

Dont let airline travel dry out your skin

Flying can dry out your skin. If you’re travelling, apply a face cream and a lip balm before you take off. Reapply to replenish your skin and lips. Drink lots of water and skip caffeine, alcohol and salt to stay fresh and hydrated.
