  • Beauty Tip: For mild acne, look for a facial cleanser with salycilic acid or benzoyl peroxide as an ingredient.

  • Beauty Tip: Try massaging your skin with papaya. It can refresh dull, tired and dry skin.

  • Beauty Tip: Lipstick expires after around 2 years. Check your lipstick for change in smell, texture or colour, and toss it if it’s gone bad.

  • Beauty Tip: Use a sulfate-free shampoo, as sulfates can be harsh and drying on the hair cuticle. Most health shops should stock these.
