Is Your Halloween Glow-in-the-Dark Makeup Actually Ruining Your Skin?

If you want to steer clear of these products, don't fear — you can get your fix of glow-in-the-dark goods this Halloween without spooking your skin. "There is less concern with using luminescent zinc sulfide in nail polish as should be expected," said Dr. Asbury.
Other options to try? Luminescent hair dye, which typically comes in one-day-only formulas and can be washed off at the end of the night, and makeup with neon-bright (but FDA-approved) ingredients. "There are eight fluorescent colours that are FDA-approved for cosmetic use," said Dr. Shah, adding that you can look for the following on the label: D&C Orange No. 5, No. 10, and No. 11; D&C Red No. 21, No. 22, No. 27 and No. 28; and D&C Yellow No. 7.
