MakeUp and Body Product Care




Product Care


In the United States, standards on Cosmetics shelf-life are usually much less than those in Europe. Furthermore, shipping the products to their "Retail destination" can result in temperature fluctuations, whose outcome may be unseen to the retail consumer.

Reliable Manufactures selling to their department store/salon clients will predetermine and guard against nearly all shipping dilemmas, using only reliable Trucks/Ships/Airline Companies with temperature-controlled cargo containers. Do not support businesses or individuals unaware of poor shipping and handling practices. And, do not purchase any Make-up/Cosmetic, Prescription Medicine, Over-the-Counter Med, or Topical/Body Product placed in direct sunlight or adjacent to any heat source!





The easiest tip you will ever get regarding home beauty/body care is this-

Once you have opened, used, touched

“the Product”:

You will have 6mo-1year Use/Lifespan


Sealed, Unopened Products

  • may be stored inside an airtight plastic bag, in their original packaging, in your moisture-controlled refrigerator!




For cleaning/renewing make-up here are some tips:


  • Use applicator, whenever possible (instead of using finger)


  • Clean Eye Shadow by gently removing a layer of powder/cream with clean tissue or unused cotton swab


  • Wipe Lipsticks off onto a (lint free) tissue once a week, removing film as if you were applying lipstick to your own lips


  • Smudge Eyeliner/Lipliner onto clean tissue regularly (in same cleaning manner as Lipstick)


  • Sharpen Make-Up routinely, prior to and after using


  • Wipe the solid surfaces of your Make-Up Containers and Applicators with Cotton Squares or Cotton Swabs dampened with 50% to 70% Rubbing Alcohol


  • When sunny days are present, carry your Make-Up or Medicine in an Ice Chest plugged into your Automobile or with “Blue Ice”, in waterproof bags/baggies rather than lying on a seat where sunlight and trapped heat can spoil items


  • Never share products that directly touch your skin, eyes, mouth



For the fear of any sort of Contamination to Eye or Skin from Make-Up, I chose Epsom Salt Rinses and immediately discard the Item in question!
