No one can afford to drink with someone, but there must be a difference between others. It must be very happy to have someone to accompany you, especially the person you like

1. Don’t be allergic, and replace it with a complete set of special skin care products for sensitive skin

Because this is very unsafe. Once the skin is allergic, it will become extremely delicate. If you change a series of cosmetics at this time If so, it will easily cause damage to the skin. So don’t replace them all at once. You can start with the last step of skin care products, such as night cream or lotion, and gradually replace them all. You can also stop using irritating products first, such as products containing alcohol or fruit acids.

2. When you have a lot of acne on your face, it’s not because your skin has not been washed well.

If you think that you have so many acne because your skin has not been washed clean, then you need to strengthen your cleaning. Easily more irritating to the skin. Acne may be a symptom of skin sensitivity, or it may be an adult acne caused by stress. At this time, you should see a doctor instead of blindly applying acne products, exfoliating or deep cleansing, which will further irritate the skin.

3. Do not apply facial cleanser directly on your face and scrub it

Facial cleanser that has not lathered up will stick tightly to the skin surface and damage the sebum film. The correct method is to first add water and rub to foam, because only foamed detergent can exert its cleaning effect, and the foam is milder than the unfoamed milk. When washing your face, wash the T-zone first, then gently rub it across the cheeks and then wash it off with warm water.

4. Pay attention to cleaning the powder puff regularly

You must know that unclean cosmetic utensils will make the skin very sensitive, so the cosmetic utensils must be washed, because the makeup on the face will be The grease will be absorbed by the puff, and the grease-filled puff comes into contact with the air, which is the best breeding ground for bacteria. Using a dirty powder puff is not only unsightly, but can also easily make your skin fragile or cause acne. Clean the puff once a week, using a special detergent or mild soap. After washing, press it with a tissue to absorb water, and then dry it in the shade. When choosing a makeup tool cleaner, you must be sure to choose a professional cleaner for treatment. The most frequently used makeup in daily life is foundation makeup. Foundation is thicker than other makeup, so makeup tools are more likely to breed bacteria. Use a special cleaning solution for makeup brushes, spray it on the brush head for daily use, and wipe it back and forth with a soft cloth until it is clean.

5. Do not use moisturizing cream when your skin is dry and itchy

Because thick and sticky skin care products are burdensome to sensitive skin, use it when your skin feels dry and itchy. Never use it. Skin care products that are too oily and too moist can easily irritate sensitive skin and are not easily absorbed. Choosing "lotion" texture is more suitable for sensitive skin than creams and essences.

6. Don’t try to use powder to cover red and dry skin

Because this may be that your skin is inflamed, and sensitive skin that is inflamed should first stop wearing makeup. Ordinary makeup tools will aggravate skin inflammation. When applying powder, you must choose pure wool and handmade powder brushes. Even those with sensitive skin can create clear and naked skin.

Tips for use

Use a rouge brush to take an appropriate amount of cheek color, and adjust the concentration and makeup effect on the back of your hand. Apply in a circular motion from the temples to the center of the cheekbones and the center of the ears.

Many women know how to use foundation and lipstick, because it is very direct and effective, whitening the skin and making the lips red. However, these two alone are not enough unless you think you are better. Every part of the average person's face has areas that need beautification. There are three things that are the icing on the cake. That’s concealer, rouge, and eyeshadow.

Concealer: Since the creation of concealer in 1954, various effective products improved by new technologies have appeared one after another, such as containing antibacterial, sunscreen, and moisturizing ingredients.

Here are some tips for using concealer:

Choose one that matches your skin tone.

Apply to the center of the blemish, and then use a small brush to smooth it out from the inside out.

If you want to cover up dark circles, you can choose concealer that is one shade lighter than your skin tone and apply it gently from bottom to top.

If it is used to cover scars, you must choose a color two shades lighter than your skin tone.

Eye shadow: The eyes are the windows to the soul, and they cannot be ignored when applying makeup. Note that eyebrows must be groomed frequently as they affect the contours of the entire face. When plucking eyebrows, you must pluck them along the direction of their growth. Try to clean up the stray hairs under the eyebrows to highlight the eyebrow lines. You must follow the shape of the eyebrow bones, and the tail of the eyebrows must be kept slim. To make sparse eyebrows look fuller, use an eyebrow brush to apply eyeshadow that matches your hair and skin tone to make them look natural and soft.

Rouge: Rouge can be used to enhance and improve the contours of the cheeks. Whether you want to look gorgeous or healthy and natural, you must choose a rouge that matches your skin tone. Light-colored rouges are suitable for average skin tones, while strong colors are more suitable for dull skin tones. When applying rouge, you should use a large rouge brush to rotate and sweep the rouge evenly on both cheeks. Remember to be patient and apply the rouge slowly and point by point, and never apply a large amount of rouge to the same area. You can also lightly apply rouge on your forehead, temples, chin, etc. to make your skin look more rosy. If you want to make the facial contour more prominent, you can try to apply rouge powder on the cheek bones, but the rouge should be applied evenly and softly. Do not sweep the rouge into a rectangular shape, which will make the makeup look unnatural. You can also use rouge cream, which has a smoother effect than powdered rouge, but the disadvantage is that it is more difficult to apply.

It is best to apply a little with your fingertips first and let the heat of your hands melt it gently, making it easier to apply evenly. When it comes to sculpting makeup, ordinary women, like professional makeup artists, have a rigid requirement for the sophistication of their makeup. Applying foundation or modifying eye shadow and facial contours with bare hands results in rigid makeup that lacks flexibility. [7]

Maintenance Guidelines

Stay away from the bathroom

The air humidity in the bathroom is often very high. A high-humidity environment is not conducive to the safety of cosmetics. In the midsummer season, , and even prone to moisture, mold, and water leakage. In addition to cleaning products, skin care products and cosmetics should be kept away from humid bathrooms. The more commonly used cosmetics can be placed on the dressing table, and the less frequently used cosmetics can be placed in the drawer. Buy now, don’t hoard.

The useful life of mascara is 6 months

Mascara should be eliminated after more than 6 months, because the mascara must be continuously pulled when using, which makes the mascara very difficult to use. It is easy to harden and deteriorate; in addition, if the mascara is close to the eyes, drying or hardening will have an impact on the skin. Therefore, mascara after opening should not be used for more than six months.

Pay attention to sun protection

I like makeup and work a standard 9-to-5 office job. Even in the middle of summer, I don’t need to use sunscreen and can directly use sunscreen foundation. Because OLs who work nine to five jobs only come into contact with the sun in the morning and evening on their way to get off work. Applying sunscreen and foundation is a double waste that is double-layered and airtight, causing the skin to become double oily. When using sunscreen foundation directly, you need to pay attention to the following three points:

Be sure to choose a foundation with sunscreen function. The best index is SPF15, PA++ foundation that can protect against both UVA and UVB ultraviolet rays.

Skin care products should also be adjusted accordingly. Choose water-based, gel, or lotion-like products, which are light and oil-free.

After washing your face, quickly apply lotion to replenish moisture and tighten the skin. Then apply moisturizing, oil-free skin care lotion to allow the skin to reach the maximum water retention capacity before makeup, so that the makeup effect will last longer.

Management method

Collection: First collect all the cosmetics scattered in the bathroom, dressing table, travel bag, etc., and then start classifying them.

Elimination: Eliminate products that are more than 2 years old; products that have not been used in the past 6 months should also be discarded, because the chance that you will use these products in the future is very slim!

Observation: What are the main colors remaining after analysis and sorting? What cosmetics do you use every day? The conclusions after the analysis can be used as a guideline for you to purchase cosmetics in the future, helping you avoid spending money on cosmetics you already own or will not use at all.

Management: Organize two sets of cosmetics: one for home use and one for travel. It is best to prepare a small cosmetic bag so that you can touch up your makeup at any time when you are out.

Storage details

Just like clothes need to be stored when the seasons change, cosmetics and skin care products also need to be stored when the seasons change. When doing seasonal storage, throw away the products that are close to expiration, give the colors that do not suit you to others, and use the remaining products for maintenance before collection.

Skin care products: Also use cotton dipped in alcohol to wipe clean the edges of the bottle cap and bottle mouth. This not only has a disinfecting effect, but also cleans the oil and wax at the bottle mouth that can easily breed bacteria, and then seals the bottle mouth with tape to prevent the liquid from evaporating and drying out.

Lipstick: Use a clean facial tissue to gently wipe off a layer of the part that has been in contact with the lips, and then put it away.

Box-shaped cosmetics such as eye shadow, blush, powder, etc.: First use a clean cotton pad to wipe off the used and dirty powder, and then dip the cotton (or cotton pad) in alcohol. Wipe the outer shell, edges, and mirror of the powder box, then open it and place it in a place that is not exposed to direct sunlight and has good air circulation for 5 minutes. Cover it and store it in a cabinet or makeup box.

Attention after pregnancy

Women who love beauty like to put on makeup, because after putting on makeup, they look younger, more beautiful and radiant. Everyone has a love for beauty, and wearing makeup is not a forbidden thing. However, when you are pregnant, you need to be wary of harmful chemicals contained in some cosmetics. What cosmetics should pregnant women avoid?

1. Hair dyes

According to surveys by foreign medical experts, hair dyes can not only cause skin cancer, but also breast cancer and fetal malformations. Therefore, pregnant women should not use hair dye.

2. Cold perm

According to years of research by French medical experts, after a woman becomes pregnant, her hair is not only very fragile, but also very easy to fall off. If you use chemical cold perm to perm your hair, it will aggravate hair loss.

In addition, chemical cold perm will also affect the normal growth and development of the fetus in pregnant women, and a few women will also have allergic reactions to it. Therefore, pregnant women should not use chemical cold perm.

3. Lipstick

Lipstick is composed of various oils, waxes, pigments, spices and other ingredients. Among them, lanolin is usually used as the oil. In addition to adsorbing various heavy metal trace elements in the air that are harmful to the human body, lanolin may also absorb E. coli and enter the fetal body, and it also has certain permeability. After pregnant women apply lipstick, some harmful substances in the air are easily adsorbed on the lips and invade the body along with saliva, causing harm to the fetus in the pregnant woman's belly. In view of this, it is best for pregnant women not to wear lipstick, especially not to wear lipstick for a long time.

In addition, the quality of some cosmetics is worrying. The Guangdong Provincial Health and Epidemic Prevention Station once conducted a spot check on 100 types of cosmetics sold on the market. Laboratory tests found that some cosmetics contain lead, mercury, arsenic and other elements harmful to the human body. Many cosmetics such as black hair lotions and hair dyes contain high amounts of Lead and some also contain high amounts of copper, and some cosmetics contain alarming amounts of bacteria. In particular, most cosmetics have not been tested for safety by relevant departments. Therefore, pregnant women are advised to be careful about the harm of cosmetics to their own health and that of future generations. [8]

Safe Use of Cosmetics

Exceeding Standards

Products with "excessive mercury" can whiten or remove spots very quickly, making the skin look fair. . However, products with "excessive mercury" can destroy the normal physiological structure of the skin, produce abnormal skin pigmentation, cause "melanoderma", and even damage the nervous, digestive and endocrine systems, leading to damage to internal organs.

Correct choice

When choosing cosmetics, you should consider the following two aspects:

1. The quality of cosmetics

First, choose cosmetics The most important thing is to see whether the quality is guaranteed. Generally speaking, it is better to choose cosmetics from famous manufacturers, because famous manufacturers have good equipment, high product standards, and guaranteed quality. Brand-name products are generally trustworthy products and are safer to use. Do not buy cosmetics without manufacturer or product logo. At the same time, you should pay attention to whether the product has an inspection certificate and a production license to prevent counterfeiting. Also pay attention to the production date of cosmetics. Generally, ointments, creams, and honey products should be purchased within one year of leaving the factory.

Secondly, learn to identify the quality of cosmetics.

①Identification from appearance: Good cosmetics should be bright in color, elegant and soft. If the color is found to be dark, dirty, and of different shades, it means there is a problem with the quality. If the appearance is turbid, the oil and water are separated, or floc appears, or the paste shrinks and has cracks, it cannot be used.

②Identification by smell: The smell of cosmetics can range from elegant to strong, but they are all pure. If it smells pungent and strange, it means it is a fake or spoiled product.

③Identification by feeling: Take a small amount of cosmetics and apply it gently on the skin. If it adheres to the skin evenly and tightly and has a smooth and comfortable feeling, it is a cosmetic with fine texture. If it feels rough, sticky, or even itchy and dry after application, it is a low-quality cosmetic.

2. Personal and environmental factors When choosing cosmetics, in addition to the quality of the cosmetics, the user and environmental factors must also be taken into consideration.

①Based on skin type: people with oily skin should use refreshing lotion skin care products; people with dry skin should use nutritious and moisturizing skin care products; people with normal skin , should use mild skin care products.

②Based on age and gender: Children’s skin is tender and has low sebum secretion, so they must use skin care products specially designed for children; elderly people’s skin is atrophic, dry and thin, and they should use products containing oil, moisturizing factors and vitamin E. Skin care products with other ingredients; men should choose skin care products specifically for men.

③According to skin color: When choosing lipstick, eye shadow, foundation, nail polish and other cosmetics, they must be coordinated with the depth of your skin color. People with fair skin should choose cosmetics with sun protection.

④Based on the season: Depending on the season, the cosmetics used are also different. In the cold season, you should choose cosmetics with strong moisturizing and moisturizing properties, while in summer, you should choose lotion or powder cosmetics.

Keep it properly

When taking care of cosmetics, you must remember the "six fears" of cosmetics.

Afraid of heat: Cosmetics should not be stored in places where the temperature is too high. Because high temperatures will cause the oil and water of cosmetics to separate, causing the paste to dry out and shrink, causing deterioration.

Afraid of the sun: Cosmetics should not be stored in places exposed to direct sunlight or light. Because light exposure will cause the water in cosmetics to evaporate, some ingredients will lose their vitality, causing deterioration. Ultraviolet rays in sunlight can also cause chemical changes in some substances in cosmetics, affecting the use effect and even causing adverse reactions.

Afraid of freezing: Cosmetics can be stored in the fresh-keeping refrigerator compartment of the refrigerator, but not in the freezer. In the cold season, it is not advisable to leave cosmetics outdoors or carry them outdoors for a long time. Because freezing will cause the cosmetics to freeze and crack, and after thawing, the oil and water will separate and the texture will become thicker, which will cause irritation to the skin.

Afraid of moisture: Some cosmetics contain proteins and are prone to mildew when exposed to moisture. Some cosmetics use iron covers, which can easily rust and corrode the cosmetics after getting wet, causing the cosmetics to deteriorate.

Afraid of prolonged storage: The validity period of general cosmetics is 1-2 years, and the storage period after opening is shorter. Therefore, it is best to use cosmetics within the expiration date and do not stop using them until they expire. No matter how good the cosmetics are, no matter how carefully they are stored, they will be worthless if they exceed the shelf life.

Afraid of contamination: After using cosmetics, be sure to tighten the bottle cap in time to prevent bacteria from invading and multiplying. It is best to avoid taking it directly with your hands when using it. You can use clean cotton swabs and other tools. If you take too much at one time, apply it to other parts of your body and do not put it back in the bottle.

Measures

Cosmetics are a kind of skin care and beauty products that people apply on their faces. Because their main ingredients are different, they are also related to each person's skin characteristics. Therefore, many people will experience partial skin redness, swelling, pain, blisters, etc. when using cosmetics. This is a cosmetic allergy.

Cosmetic allergies are quite unbearable for some people, and on certain occasions, allergies can cause embarrassing situations that they don't want to face.

So how to deal with this unexpected event? When purchasing a certain cosmetic, you can ask a professional to help test whether the cosmetic reacts with your skin type. If it is positive, it means you are allergic; if it is negative, it means you are not allergic. After the test results come out, you should immediately stop using the cosmetics you are allergic to and use a liquid of the opposite nature to apply hot compresses and neutralize them. And you need to go to a regular hospital to find a doctor to prescribe medicine for oral treatment. Within 3-4 days, the allergy symptoms will be significantly improved. And through this lesson, you can understand what kind of cosmetics your skin is allergic to, and you should pay special attention when buying them in the future.

Cleaning

1. The powder powder has been used to the point where you can see the metal base and only the outer ring is left. It is really inconvenient to use and it would be a pity to throw it away

Scrape off the remaining powder and place it in a sterilized mortar. After grinding, add an appropriate amount of olive oil and alcohol and continue stirring until it becomes a uniform paste. Scoop it out and fill it in the small tray inside the used eye shadow box. Or put it in a clean small plastic box, press it tightly with the back of a large metal spoon, and then place it in a ventilated place to air dry, and you can continue to use it for a while. This method can also be used with powders that are too dark or too light to bring them back to life by re-toning them.

2. Many lipsticks that you don’t like the color will never want to use again after using them once or twice.

For lipsticks that are still within the shelf life, but you don’t like the color, you can put them away. Cut them off and put them in a small plastic pill box, arrange them according to different shades of colors, and then use a hair dryer to blow them soft enough to melt them in the box. When you want to use them, you can prepare a lip brush and mix several different colors. The effect is really good~ If there are few colors, discarded contact lens cases are also a good choice.

3. Odorful powder puffs

In addition to the powder puffs you carry with you and the few powder puffs you have at home, it is recommended to take out the powder puffs and put them in a transparent ziplock bag separately. When using several powder puffs with different effects, you can only use one puff and throw it away after using it for a long time to avoid odor after each puff becomes dirty.

4. Makeup brushes easily collect dust

Many people just insert their makeup brushes into the pen holder or put them on the table. You can imagine how much dust will fall on them every day. Brush it on your face. In fact, it is best to put makeup brushes in a brush bag. If you don’t have many brushes, you can buy transparent plastic ziplock bags, put them separately and insert them into the pen holder. Makeup brushes should be cleaned regularly and can be stored in a transparent brush bag like this. The plastic texture of the brush bag should be soft so as not to deform the brush under pressure. Or you can use a cardboard box to make your own brush cover and put it on the brush head. The purpose of all this is to prevent the brush head from being exposed to dust.

5. Necessary Disinfection Tools for Cleaning Cosmetics

You can prepare some alcohol cotton balls at home, which are very useful: for example, wiping the mouth of skin care product bottles that have been opened but not used temporarily. It sterilizes and extends the life of use; sterilizes eyeliner. Wipe the roots of used false eyelashes to remove glue residue and disinfect them; before going on a business trip, you need to use it to disinfect the containers before packaging skin care products.

Everyday makeup tools are essential for makeup, but they will inevitably be contaminated with dust and bacteria after being used for a long time. When cleaning and maintaining makeup brushes, you must pay attention: Choosing professional detergent to clean makeup brushes will not affect the quality of makeup tools. The use effect can also extend the service life of makeup tools. Spray the special cleaning fluid for makeup brushes on the brush head, wipe it back and forth to complete the cleaning, and move it back and forth with your fingers to restore the brush head to its natural and fluffy state. Do not place it in a humid place (toilet, etc.) and keep it ventilated and dry.

6. Eyelash Curler

The two rubber eyelash curlers that are in contact with the eyelashes are the dirtiest. It is best to wipe them with tissue paper after each use. If they are particularly dirty, use alcohol cotton wipes. Just clean it. If the rubber pad on the eyelash curler is aged, cracked or broken, it must be replaced with a new rubber pad immediately, otherwise the eyelashes will be clipped and damaged. [9]
