Halloween makeup can complete your terrifying look, but there is nothing scarier than waking up with damaged skin the next morning. Based on numerous dermatologists’ advice, here are a five ways to save your skin from the horrors and breakouts that face paint and makeup can cause.
1. Pay attention to ingredients
Be sure to invest in higher quality products, avoid ingredients such as silicone and take note of the expiration date on products to avoid bacteria.
2. Do a spot test
Apply the makeup to a small portion of your skin to be sure you aren’t allergic to any ingredients.
3. Prep your face
Use a cleanser and prep your skin with moisturizer and a primer to serve as a barrier between the skin and makeup for extra protection.
4. Wash your face thoroughly
After your spooky night, remove all your makeup by washing and exfoliating your skin as many times as necessary. Use makeup remover to get rid of any leftover residue and then apply toner.
5. Hydrate
Use a hydrating mask to return the moisture back to your face for that healthy glow. Now you’re ready to serve looks on Halloween while still saving your skin!
