Cleaning in cosmetic bag

When buying cosmetics (decorative and for daily care), people usually do not read their expiration dates, as is customary for food products. But all cosmetics without exception have individual expiration dates. These expiration dates are directly related to the components of the cosmetics, which are most often natural, not synthetic, and can deteriorate due to the temperature of the environment, the duration of storage, or improper storage (in the dark or in the light).

Each cosmetic product has storage conditions written on it (like on medicine packaging): temperature, lighting and shelf life. These storage conditions must be observed in order not to become hostage to skin or hair diseases or, even worse, to acquire metabolic disorders.

Very often, expired cosmetics are the ones that trigger the development of diseases such as allergies, contact dermatitis, photodermatitis, alopecia, and trichomalacia.

Preservatives, designed to maintain the shelf life of natural cosmetic ingredients, can also change their chemical properties if stored incorrectly or too long.

Very important storage conditions for cosmetics are moderate temperatures: room temperature or refrigerator temperature (39-46 degrees Fahrenheit (4-8 degrees Celsius)). Many cosmetic creams, lotions, and ready-made masks require storage in a refrigerator.

Signs of changes in the quality of a cosmetic product can most often be noticed independently:

The smell of lipstick, cream, lotion, mask has changed.
Change in the consistency of cosmetics to hardened, lumpy, liquid, with the separation of a fraction of water.
Changing the color of lipstick, cream, powder, eyeshadow, pencils and other products.
The appearance of a burning sensation, itching or other sensations that are not typical for this cosmetic product.
The appearance of redness, peeling or swelling after using a cosmetic product.

Cleaning in cosmetic bag should not be done too often, as many cosmetics are stored for more than two years. But it is necessary to review the condition of your cosmetics: throw away broken, smashed, dirty products, change sponges, sharpeners, brushes, spatulas and brushes for applying products. Very old and worn-out tools for applying cosmetics collect bacteria on their surfaces and contribute to the introduction of bacterial colonies to various areas of the skin, nails and hair. Remains of the epithelium and sebum accumulate on the applicators, which become a breeding ground for bacteria.

Cleaning in cosmetic bag can be done from time to time to review the condition of your cosmetics and update your tools for applying cosmetics. Applicators and sponges, brushes and brushes can be washed with hair shampoo. Cosmetics stored in the refrigerator must be reviewed and updated taking into account their expiration date. Organic cosmetics that do not contain preservatives are updated more often than those cosmetics that contain preservatives. It is necessary to take into account the fact that a well-groomed cosmetic bag is the key to healthy skin, hair, nails and the general condition of the body.
