<strong>Popular magazine My Weekly shared its '10 Beauty Commandments' of simple and effective tips. The feature included advice from Dr Ross Perry, a skin expert who has carried out thousands of non-surgical procedures in Cosmedics Skin Clinics' <a href="https://www.cosmedics.co.uk/skin-clinics/">London and Bristol skin clinics</a>.</strong> Dr Perry provided the top 3 tips, which are all designed to keep the skin healthy and clear: <h4>1/ Remove make up before going to bed</h4> <blockquote>"No matter how tired you are, if your face isn't properly cleansed, make-up and build up from the day itself will just sink further into the skin and clog the pores, resulting in breakouts, congestion and dull, lacklustre-looking skin."</blockquote> Removing make up helps your skin to breathe and regenerate overnight without having to deal with make up debris. <h4>2/ Wear sunscreen</h4> <blockquote>"I advise people to opt for a broad spectrum sunscreen to be protected against both UVB rays, responsible for sunburn and melanomas, and UVA rays, which cause wrinkles and ageing."</blockquote> Don't be tempted to rely on make-up or moisturiser with added SPF, as it is unlikely to provide sufficient protection. <h4>3/ Wash make up <strong>b</strong>rushes</h4> <blockquote>"Brush hairs and sponges are porous, so they hold onto oil, dead skin cells and bacteria; which can clog pores and lead to breakouts. "Pop the bristles into warm water and massage in a gentle cleanser. Rinse, squeeze excess water with a clean towel, then re-shape and let them dry naturally."</blockquote> Dr Perry advises that foundation/concealer brushes should be washed weekly while eyeshadow brushes can be done monthly. <h3>7 More Beauty Tips</h3> The My Weekly Feature included further advice: <ol> <li>Adding definition to eyebrows adds the perception of youth - enhancing the colour can really help, but avoid harsh lines</li> <li>Eye creams are specially formulated with extra ingredients and can help to improve the skin under or around the eyes</li> <li>If you have particular skin issues e.g. pigmentation, rosacea; try new skincare products that are specially designed to tackle these issues</li> <li>Go easy on the foundation - heavy products can actually highlight lines.
