Have you ever gotten all ready for your day, picked out the perfect outfit and applied your African American skin care product flawlessly, only to have a beauty emergency erupt? This can be anything from makeup on your clothes to the tingling sensation of a cold sore coming on. Never fear, as there are many simple tips and tricks that can help you deal with any beauty problem.
Daily Glow reported on some strategies that you can use for any beauty situation. For example, if you're at a party and find a foundation smudge on your neckline, then reach for a box of baby wipes.
"It's an old retail trick," said Jill Anderson, owner of Horseshoe boutique in Seattle, quoted by the news source. "We keep a box of baby wipes on hand to remove makeup and deodorant that transfers to our clothes when customers try them on. Gently pat on the fabric to remove."
Next, the news source said that if you've noticed that your mascara tends to run, causing circles to form underneath your eyes, then keep some eye lotion handy. Using a bit of lotion on a tissue, the mascara comes off easily without leaving excess oil or grease.
Real Simple also had some tips to offer, for example, how to get rid of a pimple when it first appears. According to the news source, you should place an ice pack over it for five to 10 minutes, which will reduce swelling, then pat the area dry and apply benzoyl peroxide cream or gel. Use a cotton swab so that the oil from your hands doesn't get into the area.
