Adding sun protection to your skincare routine is essential for protecting your skin against the Australian climate. Using a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily helps prevent premature skin ageing and sun damage caused by UVA and UVB rays. For best results, apply sunscreen as the final step of your morning skincare regimen and before applying makeup. And don't forget to reapply throughout the day.
Yes, most makeup products have a specific shelf life once opened. In Australia, you can typically find the Period After Opening symbol — a small open jar icon with a number (eg.12M) — on the packaging. This indicates how many months the product remains at its best.
Typical shelf life by product type:
- Mascara and eyeliner: 3–6 months
- Liquid foundation and concealer: 6–12 months
- Lipstick and lip gloss: 12–18 months
- Powders (blush, bronzer, shadow etc): 24 months
- Skincare (creams and serums): 6–12 months
Tip: If it smells different, changes colour or the texture seperates, it's likely time to replace.
The best way to clean your makeup brushes and tools is to wash them every 1–2 weeks using a gentle face cleanser or mild shampoo with lukewarm water. Rinse brush bristles until the water runs clear, then reshape them and lay the brush flat to air-dry. This routine prevents bacteria build-up for a more hygienic makeup application.
To build an effective hair care routine, start by selecting a shampoo and conditioner tailored to your specific hair type, such as oily, dry, or colour-treated. Supplement with weekly hair care treatments for deeper nourishment, and always use a heat protectant spray when using styling tools, such as hair straighteners, to maintain hair strength.
