Purim holiday in the doorway, preparations are well underway, with most kindergarten and school children dressed up this Sunday. The Ministry of Health and professional experts warn how to put on makeup in a way that does not jeopardize the facial skin, and how to behave properly with the costumes.

Face and eye makeup

Paula Blick Dayan, a cosmetologist and natural medicine specialist, notes that makeup products and creams written on them must be used as approved by the Ministry of Health, including adhesives for applying eyelashes or gems. Blick makes it clear that using products without such permission can contain skin-damaging chemicals and can even cause irreversible damage.

She says that before the makeup is started, a few days before a small test, apply a little makeup in an unobtrusive area, such as behind the child's earlobe or on the palm of your hand. If no irritation, redness or allergic reaction of a rash is created, you can start to make your face skin ashore safely.

The Ministry of Health notes that before applying makeup to the children, it is advisable to clean their faces with lukewarm water and mild soap and apply moisturizer. The action will also make it easier to remove the makeup later, reducing the amount of irritation the makeup can cause to the child. The Ministry of Health also recommends avoiding eye makeup because children tend to rub their eyes frequently, and especially avoiding baby makeup even if it is a short-term photo studio shot.

The makeup artist Yarin Shahaf, a teacher and director of the School of Beauty Professions, recommends checking the validity of your makeup. "Forgotten makeup that has not been used for a long time can cause a rash and allergic reaction. Even in the stores you will find many times that the current period has expired. The product will have markings that indicate shelf time from the opening or expiration date. If not, the familiar and classic way is to simply smell it. If it smells bad and its color fades it has to be thrown in the trash, ”says Shahaf.

In addition, Gull indicates that it is advisable to use water-based makeup. "Fat-based makeup can clog your skin's pores. Prefer dry, non-greasy powder shadows and preservatives. It is advisable to avoid the use of glitter powders on children's faces, although they are very fond of children, as they are coarse metal particles that may stick to the eyeball. The nose and mouth are not recommended because they may be inhaled or eaten. The surefire way to use is glitter in a gel texture, the texture does not allow them to dissipate in any way and is also easy to remove. "

Remove the makeup

We all know the difficulty of removing makeup from the face for children. Experts recommend gently removing makeup with mild soap and lukewarm water or cotton wool soaked in baby oil. "First, gently clean with a damp wipe, then with soap and water, and with a soft cloth that has been gently rubbed," says Blick. Regarding the removal of glittered diamonds, she adds, "Using water and soap gently will slowly remove the glue. After using heavy makeup, it is recommended to nourish the skin with vitamins and nutrients in vitamins and minerals to restore the animals to the facial skin."

Colorful lenses

Ophthalmologists and optometrists note that in recent years there has been an increase in the purchase and use of colored lenses precisely on Purim holiday. Using colored lenses that have not undergone medical certification can cause eye infections, injuries and, in extreme cases, even blindness.

"It's important to understand that colored contact lenses are not a cosmetic product but a medical product for everything," explains Ortal Sabag, senior optometrist, at Coopervision. "Therefore, they should be purchased only at licensed optics stores and networks, not at costume stores, beauty salons, or markets. It is also important to note that the product is stamped and labeled as a health-approved product and safe to use for contact lens wearers. "It is advisable to consult with a qualified optometrist before assembling the lenses, and follow his guidelines for safe lenses. Among other things, the lenses should be worn first and then only put on make-up, and be careful of clean hands when assembling. It is important to rub the lenses with the solution before putting them in the eyes."

Hair Design

Hair stylist Ilan Margalit says that in recent years she has been using hair sprays of different colors due to fashionable trends. As a result, many products that sometimes contain chemicals that damage the hair, sprays that are not licensed by the Standards Institute, or the Ministry of Health, are launched. Make sure that the paint spray is for hair coloring only.

He said that in order to maintain the hair before spraying the hair or applying a gel of color, a serum should be applied to the hair to protect the hair. "It is best not to bring the spray closer to the root of the hair, because it is the most vulnerable place. "It is by no means allowed to put Vaseline in the hair to infect one product or another.

With all due respect to the holiday, do not let children and teens make hair clarifications, this can cause massive dropouts and even baldness. If you have hair extensions glued, make sure the glue is for hair. The extras should be removed with alcohol in the area of ​​the paste, otherwise it will tear the hair. "
