Allergy Advice
Have you had an allergic reaction to makeup in the past?
People who suffer from flexural eczema, asthma, or hay fever are more likely to have an irritant or allergic reaction to makeup. You may have had an allergic reaction to makeup in the past. If you think you may be at risk of reacting, you can do a simple test before using your makeup for the first time.
Put a small amount of the makeup in a place where the skin is thinnest. Two good places for this are in the crook of your elbow and behind your ear. Leave the makeup in place as long as possible up to 24 hours. If you experience any tingling or stinging, remove the makeup and return any unused product you have bought from us for a refund.
Avoid skin damage when removing your makeup
The removal method depends on the makeup but the things to avoid are:
- Mechanical damage to the skin by heavy rubbing
- Opening the pores with water that is too hot
- Loss of natural oils by using unsuitable solvents e.g. alcohol-based wipes
Removing water-based makeup like Grimas Professional face paints and cake makeup
Rinse away the colour with tepid – not hot – water. Remove any residue by washing with a mild , pH-balanced detergent skin cleanser. Either use a skin wash containing moisturiser or use a separate moisturiser.
