Special Effects After Care

Take Care of Your Face !

Hello Fxers and welcome back to Ready Set Fx! A horrible terrible thing happened 2 weeks ago  when I was knocking out special effects looks for this blog. I  noticed the day after I had dry patches all over my face from not taking care of it properly. I have acne prone skin but I had never experienced dry patches this was a first. But here is the thing I started to do obsessive research of  how take care of your face after applying special effect makeup but there isn't a lot of information  out there. The burnt of the information I had found focused around how to remove certain special effect makeup that cant be taken off with soap and water. But nothing about how to prevent your skin from getting damaged. So I came up with my own maybe everyone just assumes  that it is self explanatory but I honestly had no idea. So maybe this will help another unfortunate soul like me. So I'm going to give you some do's and don'ts of special effects makeup let's get started!

 

Do's   

Do make sure you have a clean face. Never apply makeup to an unwashed face

 

 

Do moisturize you face before and after you  apply the makeup. Ever since my mishap I personally use equate's Fragrance free advanced moisture recovery lotion.  Its only 97 cents for a 10 oz. bottle and it works wonders.

 

 

If you happen to be a person that has very sensitive skin. I would recommend to do a patch test on any products you plan on using just to make sure it could  prevent a bad allergic reaction or irritation of some sort

 

 

Always make sure to wash your even if you used a face wash to remove all of the makeup its still a very good idea to wash your after everything is removed this will get any of the access dirt out that you missed.

 

 

Facemasks are your best friend if you have done an extensive special effect makeup look this will help put the moisture back in your skin. You can do this after any sort of special effects makeup it will just have a better propose if your look is more extensive .

 

Take a few days break if you can between doing looks to give your face a rest.

 

Don'ts  

Don't ever fall asleep in special effect makeup with out taking it off first.

 

Don't ever rub excessively in the same spot get off makeup this can cause ore harm then good

 

Don't forget to apply lotion after this could avoid those annoying dry spots

 

Apparently it is very bad for you to pull latex off of your face so yeah don't do this.See video below of me ripping latex of my face I probably still will . But you shouldn't it could cause damage. Im just  a rebel though
