(HealthDay News) -- Makeup can be a great way to freshen your look. But if you're not careful, makeup can irritate your skin and eyes, says Aurora Health Care.
It offers these skin-safe makeup guidelines:
Toss your mascara after three months and liquid products after six months.
Never use makeup that smells or changes in color or texture.
Look for face products that include zinc oxide and have a 30 SPF rating or higher.
Check the Breast Cancer Fund's list of chemicals to avoid ingredients with cancer risks.
