Both these things make up and skin care are normally associated with women and men are still discovering these. Make up and skin care cannot be regarded as two different things because your make up will be effective only if your skin is healthy and fresh. But how should you optimize both of these to compliment each other instead of contradicting each other. In this article I will highlight some tips for make up and skin care:

• You should always keep in your mind that your main aim is skin care even if you are buying make up products or are actually applying the products which you have bought. If you follow this step correctly then the products which you will buy will be for your make up as well as for your skin care instead being for just one purpose. You need to also take care of some other things like is that product allergic to you and does it contain chemicals in excess quantities?
• Also you need to test products before using them in make up and skin care. Hence it is advisable to test the product son certain small parts then directly applying them on their target areas. You can always test them on parts liken ear lobes etc.
• Never ever use an expired product. Keep in mind you are dealing with a very delicate and precious thing which is your skin. Some products can even be rendered ineffective due to improper storage techniques. This is especially true with products containing vitamin C.
• One of the most important parts of your make up and skin care procedures is to clean all the equipments regularly. You will need to sharpen your eye liners from time to time and clean each and every equipment that comes in direct contact with your skin. Also, you should develop a schedule to overhaul and upgrade all your equipment.
• Nails protect the delicate skin at your finger tips and hence nail care forms an integral part of your make up and skin care. The rule of thumb for nail care is to keep your nails clean. Another thing is to use a good quality nail polish and rub it with cuticle oil at the edges.
• For those of you who have deep eye sets, a liquid eye liner will be more suitable for you than a pencil liner since it will avoid smudging at the deep edges.
• If you are suffering from a skin disease or disorder then you should always consult a dermatologist before starting your make up and skin care routine. Also in case of skin related problems like acne you should avoid using too harsh make up and skin care products as they can further damage your skin. Also never ever rub or squeeze the parts of your skin which are affected by acne.
• Many people just wash their make up off. This procedure is wrong and this process conflicts with your skin care. Instead of just washing your make up off use a mild make up remover.
• Use must always follow the father of all rules when it comes to make up and skin care and that is “Never to sleep with your make up on.”
• This may not be known to many but when you apply a deodorant you need to keep some specified distance between your body and the nozzle. Always maintain that distance between your body and the nozzle. You can easily find the specified distance on the deodorant bottle or on the deodorant pack which you are using.

So the next time you apply make up and purchase make up products keep in mind that make up and skin care go hand in hand and you should not treat them separately.
