With Halloween upon us, adults and children alike are planning costumes for parties, school events and trick or treating. For some adults, it is the one time of year that "the inner child" comes out to play. Costumes and make-up are all fun to put on but there are some things to consider so that your skin is not affected.

Here are some Halloween Skin Health Precautions:

Using make-up is often an integral part of your Halloween costume but it can often cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. So try these hints:

• Try the product BEFORE Halloween, to ensure that you don't react to it.
• Make sure you only use products intended for your face.
• Be extra careful using products around your eyes and avoid getting it in your eyes.

Make-up can get contaminated and cause infection, especially around the eyes. Here are some precautions:

• Make sure your hands are clean when applying make-up to avoid spreading bacteria.
• If you are testing a shade, use a disposable applicator to decrease the risk of contamination.
• Throw out your old cosmetics. Bacteria can breed on your old cosmetics and then infect your eyes.

All of us are guilty of it; going to bed with make-up on, but waking up with your "Halloween face" is definitely not a good idea. Before you hit the sheets make sure that you remove all of your make-up to avoid break-outs and allergic reactions in the morning.

Skin Trick

Now here's an idea that will help tone and nourish your skin. Just make an infusion of any of the following dried herbs, strain and cool, and place the infusion in an ice-cube tray! When the cubes have frozen, simply remove one and rub it directly on your face, neck, and arms for a deliciously cooling and hydrating effect.

INGREDIENTS

One heaping tablespoon of any of the following dried chopped herbs:

• Lavender - Reduces inflammation and cleanses
• Rosemary - Antiseptic, toning, and vitalizing.
• Mint - Toning and refreshing.

Steep herbs in 9 ounces of boiling water for at least 10 minutes, then strain, reserving the liquid. Allow liquid to cool, then pour into ice cube tray.
