Cosmetics
It’s easy to forget about cosmetics when making New Year’s resolutions. Here are a few ideas to share with your audience to help them make 2019 a little safer.
- Save your skin! It may be cold outside, but the sun is still strong. Encourage everyone to apply sunscreen to avoid a winter sunburn, especially if they use cosmetics with alpha hydroxy acids.

- Don’t share makeup! Swapping clothes and the latest gossip with friends is fun! But there are times when sharing is not caring, especially when it comes to eye makeup. Help your audience have a germ-free year with these tips for using eye cosmetics safely.
