With Halloween just around the corner, many children and adults are planning their costumes. The Center for Disease Control has issued some instructions on how to plan a safe costume:
- Check any make-up on a small portion of skin, such as the back of your hand, before applying it to your whole face, in case of allergic reaction.
- Be careful about decorative contact lenses, as they can irritate your eyes. They can also cause serious eye injuries.
- Wear well-fitting costumes, masks, and shoes to prevent tripping and falling.
- Due to the presence of candles in Halloween decorations, make sure to wear flame retardant costumes.
These tips should help you have a safe and fun Halloween!
