Like most mothers, Samira’s mum is always tempted to apply make-up on her which she often reluctantly does on several occasions especially when they are about to go out or have guests over. Her argument;
“It is just a simple eye-liner. It won’t hurt any bit, right?”
Wrong! Well according to Muthoni Njoba, a make-up specialist, failure to clean off any make-up very well is dangerous as make-up left on the skin can clog pores and cause premature aging.
As mothers, we forget that our skins are not always the same as our daughters or little children. That is why it is advisable for one to go to a professional make-up artist to advice on the best suitable make –up (foundation, concealer, powder, eye-shadow e.t.c) for your skin tone, skin type and features.
Factual research has shown that our skin starts aging after the age of 25; so mum do your child justice by withholding that make-up. Your child’s skin is very soft, tender and flawless at a young age and it would be a disgrace for a beautiful 10-year old girl looking like a 30-year old due to make-up.
Finally; as a mother and as a woman, I am sure one of your New Year resolution is dedicating yourself to a great skin care and embarking on the journey of using make-up to enhance your already beautiful features. While you undertake this treacherous journey of greatness and amazing look; tag along your girlfriends; sisters or better yet your young daughter. Encourage them to drink lots of water and eat fresh vegetables.
That is the best kept secret to a better health and flawless beautiful skin. The secret is out now ladies!
