The Cosmetic Acne Curse -- Halloween

Halloween is just around the corner -- and even GUYS are less shy and put some make-up on! If you think about it, we tend to put on all that old make-up that came with the costume... White foundation, purple lipstick and eye shadows... anything that looks creepy, it's the right color to use.

It's very important to remember:
1. OLD cosmetics can be rancid or contaminated (bacteria, mold, etc)
2. not suitable for your skin (comedogenic cosmetics that clog the pores)

Bottom line: with all the risks involved, better to buy new make-up -- otherwise this Halloween might come with the COSMETIC ACNE curse -- not a fun one.

Last thing: once the party is over, throw away everything you know you will not be using for at least another year -- to not feel tempted to use old stuff few years to come.

Be good, be healthy!
