Features of storage of cosmetics

Everything needs order. When he is present, then life becomes more measured. Cosmetics for a woman is one of the components of her life. Naturally, a certain place is needed for cosmetic accessories. Then the fairer sex will not have to waste her time looking for shadows and mascara, and after using the newfangled cream, irritation will not appear on her face.

Just as you look after your appearance, you need to keep an eye on your cosmetics. If you handle such things carelessly, for example, dilute mascara with water, use a 3-year-old eye shadow, then you should not make a surprised face when painful signs begin to appear on it.

Properly storing beauty accessories means constantly monitoring their condition: tightly close the lids of jars of creams and shadows so that pathogenic microbes do not penetrate there, and so on.... To further protect against bacteria from entering the containers, use special spatulas to apply the cream.

To get complete confidence in the safety of cosmetics, you need to purchase a scanty a special refrigerator that will provide standard conditions. It is designed so that it always maintains a temperature of +12 degrees Celsius. Its inner surface contains an antibacterial coating. Unlike refrigerators designed for food, here your make-up jars will be stored separately from food.

Most women rarely think about the expiration date of facial products. They think that nothing will happen to the body from using expired eyeshadows. And they are very wrong. The skin instantly absorbs any chemicals, and then they enter the bloodstream. And whether they will be useful or unhelpful, it is up to you.

Many packages, whatever they may be, always say: store in a dark place... Cosmetics are no exception. Many chemicals change and deteriorate when exposed to light. And along with them, your cream becomes completely unusable.

You need to be extra careful if you find an unpleasant odor from a cream or mascara. This may indicate that the product has deteriorated. Of course, it will need to be thrown away without regret.

Carrying a moisturizer in your purse can change its properties. That's why leave such things at home, and instead use disposable moisturizing wipes soaked in useful substances.

Any natural cosmetics has a shelf life. On a quality product, it is always indicated on the packaging. Remember that printed cosmetics are stored much less.

Usually, the manufacturer indicates the shelf life after opening the package with a special icon: an open jar. Next to it is applied the number of months during which the product can be used.

On cosmetics, the expiration date is either embossed or laser directly onto the tube or box. Remember that cosmetics do not like temperature extremes. And if the cosmetics were transported from the place of their production to the trading network with violations, then changes could have occurred with it, which definitely influenced the reduction of its shelf life.

You should especially be careful with those products that are applied directly to the eyelashes or to the skin around the eyes. Expired mascara can cause serious vision problems. Symptoms such as redness and inflammation may occur when using the old unit.

Particles of shadows, when applied to the eyelid, necessarily fall on the mucous membrane of the eyes. A poor-quality product can cause conjunctivitis and lead to loss of vision. Therefore, you need to remember that the shelf life of the above beauty products is quite short. The decorative cosmetics used for the eyes need to be changed frequently. Pressed shadows can be an exception.

Next up are foundations such as cream. These products contain water, and microbes multiply quickly in it. And this happens despite the addition of various preservatives to them. Therefore, these units can only be stored after opening for about a year.

A thickened concealer is a problem. Not only do germs grow quickly in it, but it can also cause irritation and itching. That's why its shelf life ranges from 8 months to 1 year.

Blush or powder is mostly in powder form and is not considered perishable. However, the sun's rays, skin particles from the brush and oil contribute to the fact that microbes can start in these products. That is why these funds cannot be used for more than a year either.

After the above information, you need to add some additions when it comes to blush. If stored properly, compact blush and blusher in balls will last for more than two years.

And how many dangerous microbes and pathogens of terrible diseases lipsticks can contain! This direction of cosmetics should attract the greatest attention when used. Through the oral cavity, harmful substances, parasites and viruses can enter our body.

Therefore, it is lipsticks and gloss that should be used on a strictly individual basis. Otherwise, you may become infected yourself or infect other people.These beauty products often have a bad smell, or they become too greasy and soft, or too thick. If this happens, then you must immediately part with your favorite decorative means. And if you do not notice anything suspicious, then still do not use gloss for more than 8 months.

Nail polishes last for about a year. It was at this time that you will have to say goodbye to the varnish, not because germs have gotten in it, but because of its drying out. Your favorite substance can be diluted with acetone. But is it worth doing? Acetone is harmful to health.

It is customary to count the expiration dates 2 times - after release from the conveyor, and after you have opened the packaging of your product. Therefore, we list the exact dates during which a body care product is considered safe:

• shower gel, body lotion, solid soap, shampoo and conditioner considered safe for 2 to 3 years;

Some fashionistas keep their face and body products in the bathroom. This is strictly prohibited. Due to the high humidity in the room and constant temperature fluctuations between the chemicals that make up your creams and mascara, a constant reaction occurs that spoils the composition of the products. As a result, you will not use a useful substance that helps your skin to be beautiful, but a harmful one.

An exception here may be cleansers. They are less susceptible to the above actions and, in principle, end very quickly. And in a short time nothing special can happen to them.
