Is it safe to use cosmetics?
Serious consequences of improper use of cosmetics are rare. But even minor troubles can deliver a lot of sad moments. All damage and unpleasant consequences from the use of cosmetics
It can be subdivided into mechanical, chemical and infectious. Let us examine them closely.
Mechanical
The most common mechanical damage, which is currently applied to women - is an injury to the eye mascara brush. If the scratch is left untreated, it could start an infection of the eye.
This infection can lead to ulceration of the cornea, loss of eyelashes and even blindness. If you scratched his eye brush for mascara, immediately rinse eyes with water, then drip a special eye drops, for example, "Visine".
• For the same, so it did not happen, never try to make up your eyes in a moving vehicle: car, bus, plane, train.
Chemicals
Very bad to go to escape, do not flush properly make-up. Makeup clogs the pores of the skin, preventing the flow of oxygen and preventing the skin to "breathe". And this leads to the appearance of acne, swelling, sallow complexion, and even inflammation.
If mascara flakes fall on the mucous eye during sleep, you can wake up with the same eye infection. Natural cosmetics is more susceptible to damage and will become contaminated with various bacteria than traditional cosmetics.
For example, vitamin E is often added to natural cosmetics, can cause an immediate allergic reaction (hives) or slowing down (dermatitis). Therefore it is recommended to immediately stop the use of natural cosmetics if there are obvious allergic reactions.
And remember, too, that the cosmetics have a shelf life.
No one would never have to drink expired yogurt or expired medicines. But for some reason, many women forget that the use of expired cosmetics can cause of infection and cause skin irritation. But if a woman uses cosmetics every day, in the course of the year in its body goes up to 2 kg of chemicals!
Shelf life of mascara on average from three to six months. Once it starts to go "lumps", it is better to leave. Liquid foundation foundation can be enjoyed throughout the year. Eye shadow, powder blush and dry "live" from two to three years, subject to periodic replacement or cleaning sponge. Lipstick and lip gloss can be used from year to year and a half.
• Keep cosmetics in a cool and dark place. Light and heat decomposed antibacterial substances commonly included in the cosmetics and the development of bacteria begins to occur at an alarming rate. The same thing happens if you keep the makeup in the bathroom, where it is exposed to heat and humidity. In this case, feel free to share the shelf life of cosmetics in two.
• Periodically (at least once a month) through makeup and check that has not passed the expiration date at any means. Throw away any makeup just by changing the color, odor or consistency.
• Keep your makeup that you do not use every day, tightly closed.
• Do not dilute any liquid makeup, even water. Any liquid promotes the growth of bacteria.
• Do not be tempted by advertising inscription "200 ml more! "If you do not use this tool on a daily basis. Also, do not buy more cosmetic sets, if you do not dare then throw away half-used set for make-up.
• Carefully use sprays and loose powder, as their inhalation can cause lung damage.
Infectious
Using someone else's makeup can lead to serious problems. The same can happen if you do kindness allow other women to use your cosmetics.
By the way, trying new cosmetics in the store or distributor, do not forget that this cosmetics can use anyone and anything with a skin disease. Cosmetic brushes and sponges absorb bacteria from the skin surface.
If you use someone else's makeup increases your chances of catching any nasty sore - herpes, conjunctivitis, skin disease or fungus. And if your friend has a habit of wetting cosmetic product, such as a pencil or a brush, saliva, the risk to get an infection more increases.
However, it should be wetted with saliva and his own makeup in saliva just swarming with malicious bacteria. It turns out that getting of chemicals into the esophagus through the mouth may be less dangerous than their rubbing into the skin.
British biochemist Richard Bence says: If lipstick gets a woman in the mouth, it is cleaved by enzymes contained in the saliva and then in the stomach. But, in his words, the chemicals remaining on the skin, enter the blood stream directly untreated.
• If you are prone to conjunctivitis, do not use eye makeup during inflammation. And as it is a pity, it is better to throw away your cosmetics and buy a new one as soon as the beginning of the next inflammation.
• If you have a cold sore on the lips appeared for a time give up the use of lipstick and lip liner to reduce the chance of infection.
What is written on the label
It does not contain alcohol.
In the production of cosmetics, the term merely "an alcohol" refers to ethyl alcohol only. Cosmetics labeled "Contains no alcohol" may include other types of alcohol as drying and irritating the skin. If you want to make sure it does not contain any cosmetics other types of alcohol, look for the list of ingredients ending "yl" such as stearyl.
Hypoallergenic cosmetics.
These cosmetics are supposed to cause fewer allergic reactions than others without such a label. However, the standards do not exist hypoallergenic, and each manufacturer decides how much of its hypoallergenic cosmetics and whether it put such a label on the product. Well, I believe in the word.
