Cosmetics Precautions

By: Juliet Cohen

Safety precautions are vital to any liposuction procedure. Caution needs to be used with when deciding whether to use any type of cosmetic, cream, or beauty product on your skin. In the quest to have glamorous body, many women forget to ensure the basic safety precautions before undergoing liposuction. There are many mishaps which happen during liposuction procedures and some extreme cases lead to death. Permanent cosmetics can help enhance appearance, and can also correct certain conditions. For those with little or no eyebrow hair, this procedure can provide more natural-looking results. Permanent cosmetics can also help cover up unsightly scars, and do not wash away, smudge, or fade in a few hours.

Insert contact lenses before applying makeup and take them out prior to removing makeup. Always wash your hands before touching your contact lenses. Never use aerosol beauty products near heat or while smoking because they can ignite. Sharing makeup increases the risk of contamination. Whether applying hair chemicals at home or in a hair salon, consumers and beauticians should be careful to keep them away from the eyes. FDA has received reports of injuries from hair relaxers and hair dye accidentally getting into eyes. Cosmetics that have been improperly stored - for example, exposed to high temperatures or sunlight, or opened and examined by consumers prior to final sale - may deteriorate substantially before the expiration date.

Apply eyeliner outside the lash line to avoid direct contact of the cosmetic with the eye. There also will be less chance that the liner will flake off into the eye. Never add water or another liquid to a product to bring back its original consistency. This could introduce bacteria that can easily grow out of control. Even though eye makeup removers are designed for use around the eye, they can irritate the eye. Apply them carefully to the eyelid and avoid getting them in your eye. Persons allergic to nickel should not use an eyelash curler, as the metal frame contains pickle. When at a store cosmetics counter, be sure the cosmetics demonstrator uses fresh applicators and does not let a used sample product come into direct contact with you.

Stop using any product that causes an allergic reaction. Almost all cosmetics can cause allergic reactions in certain individuals. The first sign may be mild redness and irritation. Any makeup that smells funny or has lost its regular consistency should be thrown away. If you use an eyelash curler, make sure the rubber is soft, not stiff and cracking. Always use the curler before applying mascara. Don't use eye makeup if you have an eye infection. Throw away all products you were using when you discovered the infection. If you hurt your eye while applying cosmetics, it is important that an eye doctor examine you. Sometimes a minor injury can become serious without proper medical attention. If possible, take the applicator and cosmetic with you to the doctor so that the products may undergo tests for bacteria.
