Skin Care Tips to Save You a Fright Night This Halloween

Have you ever woken up after a Halloween night and gotten the fright of your life? You might have noticed a new breakout or rash from all the costume makeup. But this doesn’t have to be your story this year, thanks to some useful tips from Dr. Amanda Lloyd from the Skin and Vein Institute.

Prep Your Skin

Prepping your skin should be the initial step in any makeup routine. Gently exfoliate your skin beforehand to get rid of any oil, bacteria, and dead skin that might lead to breakouts.

Use a Protective Base

Make sure you apply a protective layer of non-greasy hydrating moisturizer before you move on to the makeup.

Choose safe costume makeup

Cheap makeup can often contain very harmful ingredients that can irritate the skin. Pick costume makeup that has FDA-approved ingredients.

Remember to wash off your makeup before bed

Use a gentle cleanser and wash off your makeup. If there’s any residue, gently wash once more. Once your skin is thoroughly cleaned, apply an overnight moisturizer.
