Do you have some old sunscreen in your closet? It may no longer be effective if it is old. Sunscreen can actually expire. Some bottles have expiration dates printed on them, some do not.  Sunscreen looses it potency after a year, especially if the bottle was exposed to sunlight in your beach bag, leaving you less protected from damaging UV rays.  Toss your old sunscreen and buy new. I like to write the date on the bottom of the bottle with a sharpie when I buy it. That way when I find a stray bottle I know if it should be tossed.

Q. Summer is coming and I need to add some color to my pale skin! Where should I apply bronzer for a sun kissed look? A. Bronzer is a great way to add quick color to your skin.  A bronzer can be applied to specific areas of the face or it can be lightly dusted all over the face depending on the look you want.  Powder bronzer is easy to work with because it is easily blended and there is a wide variety of shades to choose from.

Looking for a quick way to look younger and more bright eyed?    Curl your eyelashes!  The best lash curling tip Some people curl their lashes with a lash curler but they don't stay curled. If your lashes don't stay curled, try warming your lash curler with a blow dryer for a few seconds. Test it on your wrist to make sure it's not too hot.  Then, curl your lashes as usual.  Add a nice coat of dark mascara. Waterproof mascara helps to keep the lashes curled better than non waterproof mascara.  Now, hold your lashes up with your fingers for a minute or two so they set in a curled position. Then apply a second coat as usual.  Have a Beautiful Lash Day!   xo Jill Licensed Cosmetologist,  Esthetician,  Makeup Artist PS: Thanks for using my amazon 💋 As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no cost to you.
