Caring for Your Products

Keeping your cosmetics as free from bacteria as possible is a good idea in general, and will help you avoid infection while you’re being treated for cancer.

Product Care Tips

  • Wash your hands before applying any products.
  • Tightly close jars and tubes after use.
  • Apply lotions and creams with clean cotton balls, sponges, or cotton swabs.
  • Use clean brushes or disposable sponge-applicators to apply powder.
  • Apply foundation with a clean brush or disposable sponge. Wash the sponge with mild soap or discard.
  • Do not wash mascara wands in water or use water to dilute the formula.
  • Read and follow expiration dates.
  • Avoid sharing makeup applicators.
  • Test new products on your hands or wrists.
