Beauty arsenals. Rules of storage

Jars, sklyanochka, tubes, boxes with cosmetics – an invariable arsenal of each woman from antiquity so far in fight for beauty, youth and appeal. What do we pay attention maximum upon cosmetic purchase to? Bright, beautiful packing and the promising announcement on the label. And somewhere, from a reverse side of a box, small letters - structure and prevention: "not to use after the expiration to expiration dates". Alas, not always we pay to this aspect due attention, and it is very important - still it is unknown whether that effect which is promised by advertizing will render wonderful means, but, here, harm in case of the expired expiration date it will be undoubted. So, anticipating pleasure and brilliant result of use of attractive cream or lipstick, you should not forget to look at date of production, an expiration date or date of the termination of use. If these data are absent on packing or the remained expiration date is small, then it is better not to buy this medicine at all. Cream, shadows, powder, tone cream, lipstick - all this is applied directly to skin, absorbed, gets into an organism. Of course, at once we will hardly get poisoned with expired lipstick, but in a year, for several years is eaten it not so a little. Expired cosmetics can become a source of the bacteria capable to cause eye infections, acne rash and other not palatable complications.

There are some general rules on terms and rules of storage of separate cosmetics where to each means the term is released. According to the European standards cosmetics can be stored not less than 36 months. In an unopened look! As soon as you opened packing, begin a countdown: after the first use thousands of microbes get to a jar or a bottle.

Skin care products

Skin care products, such as day and night cream, various masks purifying lotions, srubs are stored in most cases from six months to one year. It is the best of all to keep them in the cool place. But, here, if vitamin C is a part of cosmetics, then you should not use it after opening of a jar longer than 3 months.

One season (3-4 months) can be stored and used cream with UV filters. Though cream will also not deteriorate after this term, but here the factor of protection will gradually decrease, and it will not protect from ultraviolet any more.

Up to 5 months means for care of skin around eyes keep the qualities. In these means there are not enough preservatives that, generally, is very good for skin, but the period of storage at them is small so you should not save these means, let better the tube will quicker end!

By the way, experts advise to buy cosmetics in tubas, but not jars as in this case, it is less subject to effect of air and bacteria. And it is even better - to give preference to means with batchers - they both are spent more economically, and stored better, avoiding contact with air and our fingers.

The masks prepared in house conditions are recommended to be used right after preparation, except for those means in which recipe it is specified that they have to infuse some time. In "house" masks in which there are no preservatives and antiseptics the factor of freshness of a product so, even you should not store them in the refrigerator is very important, and it is better to prepare at once so much how many it is necessary on one application.

Happens that the cosmetic product becomes useless even before the storage expiration, in particular, it occurs if storage conditions do not meet standards. To define that the cosmetic product deteriorated, it is possible on change of consistence and color, crystal impregnations and an unpleasant smell can appear. In such cases, of course, it is necessary immediately to stop using this means - after all, health is more expensive, the thrown-out money!

Decorative cosmetics

At decorative cosmetics the expiration date is slightly more. Eye shadow is stored year (some slightly longer), under a condition, of course, that you watch closely a condition of brushes, applicators and sponges. At least once a week they should be washed, and if to do it laziness, then it is better to buy new periodically.

Mascara is stored from 3 to 5 months, it quickly spoils from continuous contact with air and our eyelashes, and at rare use dries and to dilute it experts do not advise.

Compact and friable powder and also dry blush - from 12 to 18 months, fat blush and an eyeliner are stored no more than a year, and lipstick and lip gloss - no more than one and a half years.

Three years keep the most resistant and hardy - planimetric pencils for lips and eyes and also deodorants.

To store decorative cosmetics, as well as cosmetics for leaving, it is necessary far away from sources of heat, cold, moisture and also not to allow hit of sunshine on it. In this regard the bathroom - not the suitable place neither for cosmetics, nor for perfumery. The bathroom will be suitable only for storage of soap, means for a shower and shampoos, but it is not recommended to keep them on opened a shelve. It is the best of all to put means in a locker which is closed. The period of storage of the listed products usually does not exceed one year.

About storage of cosmetics in the refrigerator there are most opposite judgments - on advantage it to it or not! I hold the opinion that stable room temperature is what is necessary for our assistants in fight for beauty. Though sometimes, during especially hot periods when the thermometer reads off scale, and the conditioner does not work, it is necessary to remove cosmetics on the lower shelf of the refrigerator.

Helpful advice: opening new packing of cosmetic, write on it "date of opening". Now you will precisely know, what is the time still it is possible to use this or that means, after all you should not wait when means becomes useless, and it will become obviously noticeable.

Store the cosmetics to the put term in perfect tune, do not use overdue means - and your skin will be healthy and beautiful for many years!
