Everything needs order. When he is present, then life becomes more measured. Cosmetics for women are one of the components of her life. Naturally, for cosmetic accessories you need a certain place. Then the fairer sex does not have to spend her time searching for shadows and mascara, and after using the new-fangled cream on the face there will not be irritation.
Basic Rules
Just as you monitor your appearance, you need to monitor cosmetics. If you handle such things carelessly, for example, spread the mascara with water, use 3-year shadows, then you should not make a surprised face when painful signs begin to appear on it.
Correctly store beauty accessories - this means to monitor their condition constantly: close tightly the lids of the jars with creams and shadows so that pathogenic microbes do not enter there and so on. To further prevent bacteria from entering the containers, use special spatulas to apply the cream.
After use, they are easy to wash, thereby protecting your creams from dirt.
To get full confidence in the safety of cosmetics, you need to purchase a scanty special refrigerator that provides 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 cans for make-up will be stored separately from food.
Most women rarely think about the expiration date of funds for the face. They think that nothing will happen to the body from using expired shadows. And they are very mistaken. The skin instantly absorbs any chemicals, and then they enter the bloodstream. And what they will be, useful or not useful, is up to you.
On many packages, whatever they are, it is always written: store in a dark place. There is no exception cosmetics. Because of light, many chemicals change and begin to deteriorate. And with them, and your cream comes into complete disrepair.
Special care must be taken if you find an unpleasant odor that has appeared in a cream or mascara. This may indicate that the tool has deteriorated. Of course, it will be necessary to throw it away without regret.
Wearing a moisturizer in a purse is fraught with a change in its properties. therefore leave such things at home, and instead use disposable moisturizing wipes saturated with useful substances.
Shelf life of various products
Any natural cosmetics has its own expiration date. On a quality product, it is always indicated on the package. Remember that printed cosmetics are stored much less.
Typically, the manufacturer indicates the shelf life after opening the package with a special icon: open jar. Near it is applied the number of months during which you can use this tool.
On cosmetics, the expiration date is applied either by embossing or by laser directly onto a tube or box. Remember that cosmetics do not like temperature extremes. And if cosmetics were transported from the place of its production to the distribution network with violations, then changes could occur with it, which clearly affected the reduction of its shelf life.
Therefore, when choosing funds in the store, rely on your feelings.
Particular care must be taken with those products that are applied directly to the eyelashes or to the skin around the eyes. Expired mascara can cause serious vision problems. When using the old unit, symptoms such as redness and inflammation may occur.
Particles of shadows when applying them to the eyelid necessarily fall on the mucous membrane of the eyes. Poor quality products can cause conjunctivitis and lead to loss of vision. Therefore, we must remember that the shelf life of the above beauty products is quite small. The makeup used for the eyes needs to be changed frequently. An exception may be pressed shadows.
Next come tonal foundations such as cream. There is water in these products, and microbes quickly multiply in it. And this happens despite the addition of various preservatives. Therefore, these units can be stored after opening only about a year.
A thickened concealer is a problem. Not only does it quickly multiply microbes, it is also able to cause irritation and itching. therefore Its shelf life ranges from 8 months to 1 year.
Blush or powder is generally available in powder form and is not considered perishable. However, the sun's rays, skin particles from the brush and fat contribute to the fact that microbes can also start in these products. That is why these funds can also not be used for more than a year.
After the above information, you need to add some additions, if we talk about blush. With proper storage, compact blush and blush in balls will last more than two years.
And how many dangerous microbes and pathogens of terrible diseases can contain lipstick! This direction of cosmetics should cause the greatest attention when using. Through the oral cavity, harmful substances, parasites and viruses can enter our body.
Therefore, lipsticks and glosses should be used in a strictly individual order. Otherwise, you can 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 with your favorite decorative products you need to immediately part. And if you do not notice anything suspicious, then still do not use the shine for more than 8 months.
Lipstick can be stored for about a year.
Nail polishes last about a year. It was at this time that it was necessary to say goodbye to the varnish, not because microbes were wound in it, but because of its drying. Favorite substance can be diluted with acetone. But is it worth it? Acetone is unhealthy.
Shelf life is usually counted 2 times - after release from the conveyor, and after you 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 from 2 to 3 years;
- mature skin care cosmetics can be used from 3 months to 1 year;
- styling products - varnishes, wax and others - are long-livers and can last more than three years;
- solid deodorants and bath oil have an expiration date of about 1 year;
- shaving cream for men can last 2 years;
- perfume (eau de toilette) will last from 2 years or more due to the alcohol content in them;
- eye cream and face tonic can be used from 6 months to 1 year;
- sunscreen cosmetics with careful storage it will last 2 years.
Can I store in the refrigerator and bathroom?
Some fashionistas keep their face and body care products in the bathroom. This is strictly prohibited. Due to the increased humidity of the room and the constant changes in temperature between the chemicals that make up your creams and mascara, a constant reaction occurs that spoils the composition of the funds. As a result, you will not use a useful substance that helps your skin to be beautiful, but harmful.
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.
Of course, it is best to store cosmetics in the refrigerator.
- There they are in complete darkness, and the sun's rays can not affect the content of beauty products.
- In the refrigerator, in the cool, microbes are unable to multiply rapidly. Therefore, a certain microclimate of the refrigerator makes it possible to preserve all substances for restoring beauty in the desired form.
Better to purchase for the storage of cosmetics special refrigerator. It will not contain any food, but only your jars and vials.
Cosmetics will not be able to take on the smell of parsley, which is stored on an adjacent shelf, and butter will not smell like your favorite perfume.
Here is another reason to buy a separate small specialized refrigerator for your favorite helpers, which allow you to always look perfect.
Organization and ideas for storage of cosmetic products
For many women, the issue of compact storage of cosmetics is a real problem. To solve it, you need to choose the most suitable method.

Therefore, it will be much easier to decide on the choice of a delicate thing if you place all the brushes in a vertical glass transparent container. Moreover, decorate the bottom with colorful pebbles (sprinkle them to the very bottom with a thick layer). So the ends of the accessories will be fixed from below, and the fleecy tops will not touch each other, and you can always see the desired instance.
