Did you know that May is National Toss Your Makeup Month? It's time for 'out with the old' and 'in with the new' - get ready for summer with these tips from CVS/pharmacy!

Out with the old:

Not only are expired personal care products ineffective, but they can also be harmful as well. Contamination can occur any time products are in contact with eyes, mouth and fingers - the most germ-prone areas of the body. Look for a change in color or consistency, or even a bad odor – if any of these occur, toss that item out right away. Also, check codes on the products for a use-by date. Keep cosmetics and body care products outside the bathroom in a cool, dry place to extend their shelf life.

Every year: Toss your hair products

Every six months: Toss your skin-care regimen and sunscreens



In with the new:

· Brighten up: The best way to perk up your mood and look for the Spring? Lighter colors! From your eye shadow to your hair color, take years off your look and energize with sunny, radiant colors.

· Moisturize!: If you can afford only one beauty product, invest in a good oil-free facial moisturizer.

· Don’t forget sunscreen: Using a good sunscreen can help prevent wrinkles and spots, especially on the face and hands. Try non-comedogenic CVS/pharmacy Oil Free Faces Sunscreen in SPF 30 for broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection

· Emery boards: It doesn’t strike you as a germ-fest, but emery boards are porous enough that you should resist the urge to let anyone else use it. Be stingy – no sharing, and replace it often.

· Exfoliate: Brighten dull, wintry skin with a gentle scrub twice a week. Try CVS/pharmacy Invigorating Apricot Scrub or make an effective at-home mix with baking powder and water.

· Bright White: Multi-task by using teeth-whiteners while doing other activities – from working to showering. Try the store-brand alternative of your favorite teeth whitening system for savings and results.
