Don't pump your mascara wand in and out to get more product, as this causes air to go inside and dry it out, and will fill it with bacteria. Swirl it around inside the tube to get more product.

Do tweeze your eyebrows after a shower/bath, your pores will be open because of the heat and the hairs will come out a lot easier. Try and keep to your natural shape and follow the above guide.

Don't go to sleep with your makeup on. Foundation and concealer can clog your pores and cause spots. Mascara can make your eyelashes fall out and become weak. Give your face a break! ๐Ÿ˜˜

Do use a lip brush to apply lipgloss from a tube and lipsticks, using the product directly onto your lips can cause bacteria to occur, and using a brush provides a more accurate application.

Do cleanse tone and moisturise. Your skin goes through a lot so you need to cleanse it and remove dirt and impurities with toner, then moisturise to give your skin the oil it need.

Do apply foundation BEFORE concealer, foundation covers a lot of problems, it acts as a blank canvas so you can see any areas that need concealer. Concealer can be moved if put on first by foundation.

Don't use soap to clean your face EVER. Using soap to clean your face is not a good idea, it strips the skin of the essential oils it needs causing it to overproduce oil which can cause more spots!

Don't let makeup sponges gather foundation. Not washing sponges harbours bacteria and will provide unsanitary applications and break outs. Wash long use sponges regularly and leave to air dry.

Step 12 of 14
Do clean your makeup brushes regularly. This is not only hygienic but also prevents you from applying previous makeup eg; putting on pink shadow if black was used last will change the colour.

Don't use concealer as an eye primer, it's too oily and the makeup will slide. Instead use an eyeshadow primer, your makeup will last longer and provide better end results

Jojoba oil is great at removing eye makeup, moisturizes, and it's non- comedogenic (doesn't clog pores).

Another REALLY good brand to use for acne and ur face is Cetaphil (I might have spelled it wrong). I use the daily facial moisturizer with SPF 50 and the bar soap made for use on ur face. U should also ask ur doctor about Epiduo. I have mild acne and I use all three daily and my acne is almost gone. I hope it works as good for u as it does for me!!

Using soap all the time every day, (a bar of soap) drys the skin out which causes the skin to produce more sebum, but I'd u have been using it regularly and you haven't had any side effects then maybe it doesn't affect your skin personally but as a rule this is what happens to most people. I would still advise not to use soap even if the aide effects don't occur because properly specially made facial washes have the vitamins and ingredients your skin needs x

Megan, you might think about trying ProActive. This stuff is the best product line I've ever used (and I've used a lot. ). You can believe what the commercial says. Use their cleanser, toner and moisturizer and within 2 weeks you will have beautiful skin. just me. t
