Cosmetics
It’s easy to forget about cosmetics when making New Year’s resolutions. Here are a few ideas to share with your audience to help them make 2019 a little safer.
- Save your skin! It may be cold outside, but the sun is still strong. Encourage everyone to apply sunscreen to avoid a winter sunburn, especially if they use cosmetics with alpha hydroxy acids.
