Is Make- up a friend or an enemy to your skin?

In my previous 2 articles I have already discussed the benefits of using make up and the harmful effects of using make up. In this blog post we will learn how to overcome these harmful effects and enjoy the benefits of makeup without being dependent on them. You have to strike a balance between the 2. 

Words - Dr Sharmila Samaranayake

To enjoy the benefits of makeup without becoming dependent on it and minimizing potential harmful effects, consider the following tips;

• Use makeup sparingly – reserve makeup for special occasions. If you want to use it daily, go for light makeup. Avoid daily heavy usage of makeup. You can use it to enhance your features and not to create a total stranger when you look through the mirror. 
• Choose quality makeup products – invest in makeup products of good quality. Low quality or expired products can harm your skin. 
• Looking good comes with a price. So, try to select them carefully and don’t settle for low-quality makeup. You have to keep in mind that cheap make- up is not necessarily bad and expensive make- up is not necessarily good.
