cosmetics introduction

According to the 'Administrative Regulations on Cosmetics Labeling' promulgated by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine on August 27, 2007, cosmetics are spread on any part of the human body, such as skin, hair, nails, lips and teeth, by smearing, spraying or other similar methods. , Chemical industrial products or fine chemical products for the purpose of cleaning, maintaining, beautifying, modifying and changing the appearance, or correcting human odor and maintaining good condition.

'Everyone has the heart to love beauty.' Human beings have been pursuing cosmetics to beautify themselves since ancient times. The development history of cosmetics can be roughly divided into the following five stages (also called five generations):

According to statistics from Zhiyan Consulting, the retail sales of cosmetics in China in 2013 increased by 10.1% year-on-year, and the growth rate dropped 3.1 percentage points from the previous year, the lowest growth rate since 2008. The growth rate of the retail sales of perfume, beauty cosmetics and skin care products all declined. Among them, the growth rate of perfume was the lowest, only 0.7%, which was 11.8 percentage points lower than in 2012. Affected by air pollution, skin care products can still maintain a relatively rapid growth rate, and baby skin care products may become a new growth point in the future cosmetics market.

There are two main reasons for the sharp decline in the growth rate of cosmetics retail sales: one is the deepening of anti-corruption work, which has frustrated the 'gift economy' in the cosmetics market; the second is that the price difference between domestic and international first- and second-tier cosmetics attracts more and more consumers Those who choose to purchase and hoard in large quantities overseas have an impact on the domestic market.

In the past 30 years of reform and opening up, the sales of my country’s cosmetics market have grown at an average annual rate of 23.8%, with the highest year reaching 41%. The growth rate is much higher than the average growth rate of the national economy and has considerable development potential. The distribution channels of cosmetics are also undergoing very big changes, especially the retail terminals are undergoing unprecedented profound changes. The 'Twelfth Five-Year Plan' has raised consumption to an unprecedented height, and consumption is expected to become the biggest driving force for economic growth. The development and innovation of the cosmetics retail industry are promising, but the safety of cosmetics should be paid attention to. With the acceleration of social development, people's consumption of cosmetics is shifting from supermarkets to online shopping, making skin care and color cosmetics an indispensable topic in life. The exquisite makeup intuitively shows a person's spiritual quality, and it is a manifestation of personal charm. As a leader in professional makeup tools in China, Leading Beauty has created the only unique charm of a new generation of Chinese women.

Ancient cosmetics


Cosmetics In primitive society, some tribes would smear animal oils on their skin during sacrificial activities to make their skin color look healthy and shiny. This is also considered the earliest skin care behavior. This shows that the history of cosmetics can almost be estimated from the existence of human beings. From the 5th century BC to the 7th century AD, there are many legends and records about the making and use of cosmetics in various countries. For example, the ancient Egyptians curled their hair with clay, the ancient Egyptian queens painted eye circles with patina, and bathed the body with donkey milk. Ancient Greece The beauty Asparti used isinglass to cover up wrinkles and so on, and many cosmetics appeared. In ancient China, it was also fond of using rouge to wipe the cheeks and moisturizing the hair with hair oil to set off the beauty and charm of the face.

Mineral oil age

In the 1970s, a number of well-known Japanese cosmetics companies were jointly sued by 18 women suffering from severe melanoma due to the use of their cosmetics. This incident not only caused a sensation in the international beauty industry, but also promoted a major revolution in skin care products. Early skin care products and cosmetics originated in the chemical industry. At that time, it was difficult to extract naturally from plants, and the petrochemical synthesis industry was very developed. Therefore, the raw materials of many skin care products and cosmetics come from the chemical industry. Up to now, there are still many international and domestic brands that use the raw materials of that era. The prices are low, the raw materials are relatively simple, and the cost is low. So the mineral oil era is also the era of daily chemicals.

The era of natural ingredients


Since the 1980s of the last century, skin experts have discovered that the addition of various natural raw materials to skin care products has a certain moisturizing effect on the skin. At this time, the large-scale natural extraction and separation industry has matured. Since then, natural ingredients can be gradually found in the ingredients of skin care products on the market! From land to sea, from plants to animals, all kinds of natural ingredients are available. Some people even go to places off the beaten track, trying to find special ingredients to create miracles of skin care, including tropical rain forests. Of course, there are a lot of natural gimmicks at this time. Perhaps most of the base materials still use the ingredients of the mineral oil era, but only occasionally add some natural ingredients, because there are still many problems that are difficult to overcome because of the mixing of ingredients, antiseptics and so on. Some companies have been able to completely abandon the original industrial assembly lines and produce purely natural things, and gradually form some top-notch and dedicated brands.

Gene age


With the complete deciphering of 25,000 genes in the human body, of course, some of these genes related to skin and aging were deciphered. Since 2011, mergers and acquisitions between large companies have been undercurrent, and many pharmaceutical companies have stepped in. Many companies have begun to promote the concept of genes, and of course some companies have already entered productization. The characteristic of this era is that it is more rigorous and scientific. Because it is a new technology, it must have strict clinical and empirical, strict testing, and genetic technology is strictly controlled all over the world.

Instructions
If you are new to makeup, or are learning makeup, then you have to look at the following things, some wrong ways to use makeup, and see if you have such bad habits.

1. Don't be sensitive, just switch to a whole set of special skin care products for sensitive skin

Because this is very unsafe, once the skin is allergic, it will become very delicate. If you change a series of cosmetics at this time, it will easily cause damage to the skin. Therefore, do not replace them all at once. You can start with the final product of the skin care products, such as night cream or lotion, and gradually replace them all. You can also stop irritating products, such as products containing alcohol or fruit acids.

2. When there are many acne on the face, it is not because the skin is not clean

If you think that so many acne is because the skin is not cleaned and strengthened cleansing, it will irritate the skin more easily. Acne may be a symptom of skin sensitivity, or adult acne caused by stress. At this time, you should see a doctor instead of violently rubbing acne products, or exfoliating or deep cleansing. These will even more irritate the skin.

3. Don't rub the cleanser directly on the face and scrub

Facial cleanser without foaming will stick tightly to the skin surface and damage the sebum film. The correct method is to add clean water to knead and foam first, because the foamed detergent can only play a cleaning effect, and the foam is milder than the unfoamed milk. When washing your face, wash the T-shaped area first, and wash off your cheeks with warm water.

4. Pay attention to cleaning the puff regularly

When choosing makeup tool cleaners, you must pay attention to choosing professional cleaners for treatment. Make-ups in daily life are mainly used for base makeup. The foundation is heavier than other makeup tools, so the base makeup tools are more likely to breed bacteria. Use the special cleansing liquid for the beauty makeup brush, spray it on the brush head of daily use, and wipe it back and forth with a soft cloth until it is clean. You must know that unclean cosmetics will make your skin very sensitive, so you must wash your cosmetics, because the oil on your face will be sucked away by the puff when you make up, and the puff that is full of grease will come in contact with the air. The best breeding ground. Using a dirty powder puff is not only unsightly, but also tends to make the skin fragile or acne. Clean the puff once a week. Use a special detergent or mild soap. After washing, press it with a facial tissue to absorb water, and then dry it in the shade.

5. Do not use moisturizing cream for dry and itchy skin

Because thick and sticky skin care products are a burden on sensitive skin, don't use them when your skin feels dry and itchy. Skin care products that are too oily and moisturizing can easily irritate sensitive skin and are not easy to absorb. The texture of 'lotion' is more suitable for sensitive skin than creams and essences.

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

Ordinary makeup tools will aggravate the degree of skin inflammation. When brushing powder, you must choose pure wool and hand-made beauty powder brush, which can create clear and naked skin even for sensitive skin.

Because it may be that your skin is inflamed, and the sensitive skin that is inflamed should first stop makeup. And for the sensitive skin that has been inflamed, even if it is powdered, it will not be able to conform, and the sensitivity will increase due to airtightness. Therefore, it is best not to apply makeup and let the skin rest for a few days; if makeup is necessary, just add sunscreen and powder That's it.

skills
Regarding the sculpting of makeup, ordinary women, like professional makeup artists, have a rigid demand for the exquisiteness of their makeup. Freehand primer or eye shadow and face contour modification lead to rigid makeup and lack of flexibility. Leading Beauty recommends that you choose a foundation brush with an exclusive patented concave design for the base makeup when creating your makeup, and use different models of yellow wolf tail eye shadow brushes to make your eye makeup look softer and more natural. The hand-made blush brush and powder brush made of pure wool make the contour more three-dimensional, and the makeup is softer and even.

Use a rouge brush to take an appropriate amount of cheek color, and adjust the concentration and makeup effect on the back of the hand. Draw a circle at the junction from the temple to the center of the cheekbones and the center of the ears. Many ladies know how to use foundation and lipstick, because it is very effective, white and red. However, these two are not enough unless you think you are perfect. Every part of the face of the average person needs to be beautified. There are three things that can add to the cake. That is concealer, rouge and eye shadow.

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

The tips for using concealer are as follows:

Choose one that matches your skin tone.

Apply to the center of the flaw, and then use a small brush to sweep evenly from the inside out.

If you want to conceal dark circles, you can choose a concealer that is lighter than your skin tone and apply it gently from the bottom to the top.

If it is used to cover up scars, a color that is two shades lighter than the skin color must be used.

Eyeshadow: Binoculars are the window to the soul, so you can't ignore it when making up. Note that eyebrows must be trimmed frequently because it will affect the contours of the entire face. When plucking the eyebrows, you must follow the direction of the eyebrows. Try to clean up the miscellaneous hairs under the eyebrows to highlight the line of the eyebrows. You must follow the shape of the eyebrow bones and keep the end of the eyebrows slim.

To make sparse eyebrows look plump, use the eye shadow powder that matches your hair and skin tone on the eyebrow brush to make it look natural and soft. For simple retouching, you can use the eyebrow pencil to lightly paint the color, and then sweep it with your fingertips. In order to maintain the shape of the eyebrow and make it look shiny, Taole recommends that you try to apply petroleum jelly to the scanned eyebrow Set the shape, then apply eyeshadow.

Dark and dull eyeshadows can be used on the eyelids and raised areas of the eyelids to enhance depth, and lighter colors are suitable for the brow bones.

Rouge: Rouge can be used to strengthen 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 rouge is suitable for normal skin tones, while strong colors are more suitable for dull skin tones.

When applying rouge, use a large rouge brush to evenly sweep the rouge on the cheeks. Remember to slowly sweep the rouge point by point patiently, and do not sweep a lot of rouge on the same area. You can also swipe the rouge on the forehead, sideburns, chin and other places to make the complexion 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 it should be even and soft. Do not sweep the rouge into a rectangular shape to make the makeup look unnatural. You can also use rouge milk, which has a smoother effect than powdered rouge, but the disadvantage is that it is more difficult to use. It is best to apply a little with your fingertips and let the heat of your hand melt gently, so that it can be applied evenly.

clean
Daily makeup tools are necessary for makeup, but after a long period of use, it will inevitably be contaminated with dust and bacteria. When cleaning and maintaining makeup brushes, pay attention to:

Choosing a professional cleaner to clean the makeup brush will not only affect the use effect of the makeup tool, but also extend the life of the makeup tool. Spray the special cleaning solution for the beauty makeup brush on the brush head and wipe it back and forth to complete the cleaning. Flick back and forth with your fingers, and the brush head can restore its natural fluffy state. Do not place it in a damp place (washroom, etc.), keep it ventilated and dry.

Precautions
In addition to the necessary normal ingredients, some cosmetics on the market also contain various pharmaceutical ingredients, such as vitamins, amino acids, antihistamines, ultraviolet absorbers, astringents, sweat inhibitors, irritants, etc. Is it medicine or skin care? Its main function is

what? What should be paid attention to when using it?

First of all, medicated cosmetics are not medicines, they are just skin care products. The main function is to moisturize and protect the skin, and it can also play a role in auxiliary treatment for certain skin diseases. Such as Angelica beauty cream. The protein, amino acid and other nutrients in angelica have the effects of whitening and thinning human skin, improving skin health, and slowing down skin aging, and can achieve the beauty purpose of curing melasma and freckles. There are also preparations prepared with Angelica dahurica, Bletilla striata, etc., to moisturize the skin and prevent rough and chapped skin.

However, when choosing medicated beauty cosmetics, the right medicine must be prescribed. The incidence of allergic reactions to medicated cosmetics is higher than that of general cosmetics, because some chemical drugs are allergenic drugs. Therefore, if skin itching or red bumps occurs during use, you should stop using it immediately and ask a dermatologist for examination and treatment.

In addition, there are many types of skin resident bacteria on any person’s skin. Under normal circumstances, these resident bacteria will not only have no adverse effects on the skin, but also enable the skin to form a normal physiological cycle and play a role in preventing other bacteria and Mold reproduction and invasion. If medicated cosmetics are commonly used, on the one hand, pathogenic bacteria will become resistant. On the other hand, they will also kill the above-mentioned common bacteria on the skin, which will bring difficulties to the treatment of diseases. There will also be new infections. Therefore, stop using medicated cosmetics when the disease is cured, and do not use it for a long time.

Use sequential solution
1. Do you know the basic order of using water, cream and oil cosmetics?　　

This is the most basic common sense. It should be kept in mind to distinguish the order of use according to the texture category of skin care products. Don't underestimate it. This method is a try! For example, you should remember 'water, milk, and oil last.' When you can’t tell which one should be used first, then take a look at the texture of the skin care product. If it is of water quality, it must be better than milk. Creamy ones are used first, while oily ones are usually used last. This method can be used in order to determine the order of a complete set of support products, as well as the same product, such as the same two products in the order of use of the cream.

If you use a cream-like product with a higher degree of moisture first, a protective film will be formed on the outer layer of the skin after application, and then water-like and essence-like products with smaller molecules will be difficult to absorb by the skin. Let alone play a role. Studies have found that if the fine molecules of the essence can reach the bottom of the skin, the nutrients it carries can be as high as 88%; while the oil-based macromolecular products mostly work on the surface of the skin, and the nutrients they carry are only about 6%.

Toner-essence-gel-lotion-cream-sunscreen, this is the correct order.

2. Do you use the essence directly after cleansing, thinking it can be absorbed more fully?　　

Many people mistakenly believe that applying essence directly after cleansing can promote full absorption of the skin. In fact, essences are mostly high-tech extracts of natural plants, animals or minerals. They supplement the nutrients needed by the skin. They also have special effects such as moisturizing, anti-wrinkle, and firming. The toner can help the skin form a sebum film, thereby removing old cutin, and better absorb the nutrients of the essence.

Essence should be used after cleansing the skin and applying toner evenly. The softening lotion can re-open the pores of the skin after cleansing, so that the essence can penetrate deeply into the skin.

3. You think you can end your day's skin care steps after using the essence, because the essence is already moisturizing enough?　　

Although the nutrient level of the essence is high, it lacks the rich composition of day cream such as moisturizing, soothing and protection, and it also lacks the powerful functions of repair and reconstruction in night cream. Therefore, after using the essence that simply provides nutrition, it must Use day cream or night cream to fully moisturize the skin to achieve the perfect skin care effect.

4. When using more than one serum, which one do you think is OK?　　

Usually one type of essence is enough for our skin, because the essence of essence is high in nutrients, too much use will increase the burden on the skin, which is counterproductive. Using two essences at the same time is the limit. Who are the two different essences? One is to decide according to the texture of the essence, first use a thinner texture and then use a thicker one; the second is to decide according to the depth of the essence to the skin. The effective ingredients of the essence act on the skin in the order of moisturizing, whitening, and anti-wrinkle, so use the two at the same time in this order. Moisturizing-Whitening-Anti-wrinkle

5. To use lotion before moisturizing facial mask, and cream after use?　　

Moisturizing masks (especially cotton masks) generally do not need to be washed off after use. In fact, it can be simply regarded as an intensive essence. It is best to use a lotion to make a primer before to help the skin's water-lipid film balance, and then use a mask to have a better absorption effect. You don't need to clean it with water after use, just use a paper towel to gently remove the residue. Oily skin can no longer apply other moisturizers, and dry skin needs to apply a layer of cream to lock in moisture.

6. Do you apply foundation directly after day cream?　　

This is completely wrong. The last step of daily care is not a day cream, but a special sunscreen after the day cream, which is very important. Sunscreen is the end of daily skin care and the beginning of makeup. The usual order is: day cream, sunscreen, base cream, foundation. When choosing a barrier cream, you must confirm that it is hydrophilic (that is, the content of the barrier cream is more water than oil), so as to isolate external irritants and make makeup lasting.


7. When using more than one eye cream, which one do you think is OK?　　

The eye area is a very special part. The skin here is very thin and fragile. The actual result of improper care is irreversible. First of all, it must be clear that except for eye creams, eye essences and other products dedicated to the eyes, other facial toners, essences, and creams cannot be used on the eyes, no matter how refreshing and moisturizing its texture, especially those with strong efficacy Products such as oil control and whitening are even more unusable.

When using two or more eye products at the same time, the order is first eye essence and then eye cream; when using two or more eye creams, it can be judged according to the texture and efficacy. Compare the texture of the two eye creams, the same is that the more moisturizing the first Use; in terms of efficacy, moisturizing eye cream is used first, followed by whitening eye cream, and finally anti-wrinkle eye cream. Because anti-wrinkle eye creams have larger molecules and are usually oilier in texture, while moisturizing eye creams have smaller molecules, use anti-wrinkle eye cream first. Large-molecule oily anti-wrinkle eye creams can easily prevent small-molecule moisturizing eye creams from entering the delicate skin of the eyes, thereby affecting the moisturizing effect.

8. What is the order of use of products of the same water quality, such as beauty lotion and skin lotion?

It depends on the function of the beauty lotion. Usually, the beauty lotion has the effect of conditioning the keratin and improving the absorption of the next step. It should be used before the softening lotion.

9. It is said that some people use moisturizer with gel texture again after foundation. Is it true?　　

This is to be used when the skin is very dry or make-up, you can add a layer of moisturizing cream (gel texture) after using the foundation. The effect of this will make the skin replenished with moisture, similar to the effect of a moisturizing mask.

10. Have you always used day cream with SPF value instead of sunscreen cream?　　

It is not recommended to use moisturizing, anti-aging and sunscreen day cream with sunscreen functions, but to use sunscreen alone. Because the efficacy and responsibilities of a product are different, the integration of multiple effects is convenient and trouble-free, but it will definitely lose

Some aspects of efficacy. The current sunscreen products mostly combine sunscreen and isolation at the same time. Such sunscreens help the skin resist ultraviolet rays, isolate dirty air, dust and even resist computer radiation, and have a certain anti-ultraviolet function. Its purpose is to The skin provides a clean and gentle environment and forms a defense 'frontline' against external attacks, so it must not be omitted.

11. Does the texture of the emulsion have to be used after water?　　

There are special circumstances! To determine the efficacy of specific products, you need to read the instructions carefully.

12. In which step are special medicinal skin care products used?　　

Sometimes the skin has acne or red blood streaks, you need to use some cosmeceuticals. Usually the emulsion texture can be used as an essence. It can be used for local or whole face, and products for special wounds, such as local Anti-acne products should be used according to the instructions, some are used after cleansing, and some are used in the last step of skin care, before makeup.

13. Do you use sunscreen powder instead of sunscreen cream?　　

Just now we already know the role of sunscreen, so the answer is obvious. As the last step of daily skin care and the beginning of makeup, one of the important functions of sunscreen is to isolate the dust of makeup. If you omit the sunscreen and use liquid foundation and sunscreen powder directly, then these large particles of makeup will take a long time. Clog your pores easily.


Influence
Many women pursue fashion and beauty when they make up, but often do not pay enough attention to the side effects of various cosmetics. In fact, cosmetics (including various shampoos, hair dyes, skin creams, facial cleansers, nail polish, etc.) are all chemical compounds. They not only protect and beautify the human body, but also volatilize various harmful substances. It has a greater stimulating effect on human skin, and some can cause skin edema, itching, macula and other 'cosmetic dermatitis.'

Common cosmetics in life are mostly processed from various pigments, fragrances, preservatives, fungicides and other raw materials. Some special-purpose cosmetics also need to add hair growth, hair dyeing, perming, beauty milk, bodybuilding, deodorization, and freckle removal. And sunscreen and other ingredients. After some people use it, cheek swelling, running water, itching, dermatitis and other damage to the face or skin allergies are often seen. Especially long-term use of hair dyes will not only cause contact dermatitis, but also other diseases. In cosmetics, the side effects of hair dyes cause the most allergic reactions. According to investigations, heavy use of hair dyes is prone to blood diseases and Hodgkin's disease.

Therefore, the side effects of cosmetics should not be underestimated. On the one hand, you should use as little as possible and don't abuse it; on the other hand, you must choose carefully, and you must choose cosmetics of good quality, low side effects, and suitable for your skin characteristics. People with a history of skin allergies should be especially careful. If cosmetics are found to have adverse reactions to their skin, they should stop using them immediately.

Another source of side effects is deterioration caused by improper use. Generally, the most important ingredients of cosmetics are oil and water. The growth of microorganisms also requires water. Therefore, as long as it contains water, it will cause bacterial contamination and rancidity of cosmetics and skin care products. Other moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin and polyols can be used. Provides the carbon source of bacteria and other microorganisms, while the main components such as protein and amino acid provide the best source of nitrogen for microorganisms. During the use of cosmetics, the chance of direct contact between the product switch and the finger may be nearly a hundred or more, which is very easy to accelerate Infection by microorganisms such as bacteria, so if so-called preservatives or antibacterial agents are not properly added, it is easy to cause oxidation or contamination of cosmetics.

Allergy self-diagnosis

Is your skin allergic? Check the following characteristics for self-diagnosis.

Skin itching, I always want to scratch a few times;

Erythema or large flushes in certain areas;

Burning and even painful skin;

Obvious local swelling;

Small bumps grow on the skin, but not like acne;

Strings of small blisters appear;

Local skin ulceration;

Diagnosis result: If you have more than 2 symptoms, in addition to washing your skin in time, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment.

New definition of allergy

Simply put, it is allergic to a certain substance. When you eat, touch, or inhale a substance, your body produces an excessive reaction; the substance that causes this reaction is the so-called 'allergen.' Under normal circumstances, the body produces antibodies to protect the body from diseases; however, the body of an allergic person mistakes normal harmless substances for harmful substances and produces antibodies, which becomes a kind of substance. 'allergen'. This allergic reaction can cause some physical problems, and these problems usually do not happen to normal people.

UV protection

Excessive ultraviolet rays may cause skin burns at any time, and there may be terrible allergic symptoms such as erythema, blackening, and peeling. So after applying basic skin care products, be sure to apply sunscreen again. However, the ingredients of certain sunscreens are also one of the factors of allergies. You should choose some physical sunscreens with simple ingredients, and try to avoid applying them directly on the skin surface, so that the skin irritation is relatively less.

The 'safety season' of cosmetics

Allergies are caused by skin lack of water and unbalanced oil and water. You must adjust your skin care products in time during the season. If skin care products can't replenish water and control oil in time, you can imagine that your face will of course not be enough. Once the problem occurs, some people will stop using cosmetics, causing skin malnutrition. Some people mistakenly use curative skin care products, which increases the burden on the skin. Therefore, it is imperative to buy some skin care products with soft formulas, such as cold film, sensitive face cream, cell lotion cream, etc., to calm the subcutaneous nerve and reduce the occurrence of allergies.

For people with sensitive skin, if you want to use new cosmetics, you should do a skin test first. The method is to apply the cosmetics you want to use on the delicate skin of the inner wrist and leave it for one night or 2 to 3 days to observe it. Reaction, if there are abnormal reactions, such as inflammation, redness, rash, etc., you must avoid using the cosmetics.

If you suspect that your current allergies are caused by the skin care products you are using, you should stop using the skin care products and try to use skin care products that you have been used to before, or use skin care products for allergic skin.

In the aesthetics of the oriental people, the skin that is rosy and torn is the most perfect, but it is often the skin that is most prone to allergies, so be very careful when using cosmetics!



Maintenance
Keep cosmetics away from the bathroom

The air humidity in the bathroom is often very high, and the high humidity environment is not conducive to the safety of cosmetics. In the summer season, it is even prone to dampness, mold, and water. In addition to cleaning products, skin care products and makeup products should be kept away from damp bathrooms. The more commonly used cosmetics can be placed on the dressing table, and the less used ones can be placed in the drawer. Buy now, don’t stock up.


The lifetime of mascara is 6 months

Mascara should be eliminated after more than 6 months, because mascara must be constantly pulled, which makes the mascara easy to harden and deteriorate; in addition, mascara close to the eyes, drying or hardening will affect the skin. Therefore, the mascara used in Kaifeng should not be used for more than six months.

You are smart and sunscreen with makeup

He likes makeup, and he is a standard nine-to-five office worker. Even in the middle of summer, he can use sunscreen foundation without using sunscreen. Because the 9 to 5 OLs only have exposure to the sun in the morning and evening when they get off work, and they apply sunscreen and foundation. This is a double waste of double airtightness and double oil on the skin. 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 of SPF15, PA++ can prevent both UVA and UVB ultraviolet rays.

Skin care products should also be adjusted accordingly. Choose water quality, gel, emulsion products, light and oil-free products.

After washing your face, you should quickly apply lotion to replenish moisture on the one hand and tighten the skin on the other. After that, apply a moisturizing and oil-free skin care lotion to allow the skin to achieve maximum water retention before makeup products, so that the effect of makeup will last longer.

Four Steps to Cosmetics Management
