Mascara comes in constant contact with the eyes, which makes it a breeding ground for bacteria. Skin care experts agree that mascara should be replaced every three months.

The 1910’s brought about a serious turnaround for the creation and usage of make-up. The first pressed powders in compacts, mascara, lipstick in a metal case, and pancake make-up were all created and welcomed by women everywhere. By the 1920’s mass marketing of make-up began which opened the door for rural women to show her independence by wearing lipstick, lipgloss, and mascara. Make-up styles from the 1930’s to the 1950’s where modeled after current movie stars. Reflecting the era, the 1960’s gave way to a more free and liberated make-up look…i.e…anything goes! In the 1970’s and 1980’s women enjoyed colorful eye shadows and dark and heavy eyeliners. Fast forward to today’s make-up application trends and you will find a delightful blend from the past with many women choosing a more natural look.

You only have one set of lips so don’t forget to take good care of them. Good lip care should always be part of your daily lip care regime. Lip skin is very sensitive and tender with three to five cellular layers. Not having any sebaceous glands, lips will dry out faster than other skin and become chapped more easily. Additionally, as part of the aging process, lips tend to shrink and thin.
Here are a few tips to keep your lips looking young and healthy:
• Just like with other parts of your body, dry skin causes wrinkles, so it’s important to keep your lips well hydrated.
• Exfoliating dead skin will help generate new soft skin.
• Protect your lips from UVA/UVB rays by using lip balm with SPF.
• Natural remedies for your lips include: honey as a natural moisturizer, lemon to remove dark spots on your lips, and Vitamin E oil or almond oil to reduce lip lines and add moisture.
As we age, without proper lip care, the signs of aging will begin to show quickly upon your lips. Having plump healthy pink lips will help take years off of your appearance. Jane Iredale has many lip care products that will help keep your lips beautiful and healthy looking.
