Viva Challenge: label your cosmetics

labeling skin care products & cosmetics

For this week’s challenge, I’m urging you to label your cosmetics upon purchase. If your product permits, you can write it directly on the ingredient label. If not, you can use a little sticker to do the job for you.

The reason for this challenge is because all cosmetics have a shelf life and you can’t use them indefinitely. For example, sunscreens expire in one or two years while mascaras can last you about three to six months.

Is a sunscreen containing SPF50 all you need? And do you know what’s the difference between a physical sunscreen and a chemical sunscreen?

But here are some highlights:

DIY Beauty: homemade tea facial steam

homemade-facial-steam

I suddenly had an urge to steam my face this week even though I’m paranoid and not particularly fond of this activity. It must be because of a zit that appeared on my chin that’s making me desperate. So I thought perhaps I should steam my face a little before using the Herbal Healing Clay Masque.
