 Who ever took the settlement favorite store and wanted to increase the stock of lipsticks, believing they were going to stay there for years, brand new? Or stored one case of shadows in the bathroom and suddenly realized that the product won? The vast majority of women will certainly answer "yes" to these questions, and probably would find the foolish.

 

Daily practices such as those mentioned above are made on "autopilot", but that offer serious risks to the health of the skin and eyes, when appropriate care is not taken.

 

According to Cleide Vieira, a dermatologist at the State Department of Health (Sesau), most cosmetics sold in the market today has large amounts of preservatives, oils, flavorings, dyes and other chemicals that, on contact with skin or ocular mucosa when they are overcome, can cause allergic reactions such as irritation, itching and flaking, and pimples and blemishes.

 

"The preservative has a useful period, whose function is to prevent the proliferation of microorganisms. Passing this period, can infect the region where the makeup is used, "she explains, which discourages the lipsticks share on tasters makeup in cosmetic stores. "In these places, it also increases the proliferation of viruses and bacteria. The ideal is to see if there are disposable items for testing. Great care is when it comes to the health of the lips, eyes and especially the skin. "

 

When buying makeup is to be careful, because attention must go beyond the attractive prices. The dermatologist Sesau guides consumers to prioritize both the quality and the shelf life of cosmetics to initiate a purchase. And attention: one of the signs that the makeup is overdue, it is when the product begins to change color, undergoing degeneration processes and oxidation. It works like this: if the beige color shade start getting brownish. Or that blue-green cross to create white spots around the color palette. It is best to stay well away. And the characteristic fragrant odor of most cosmetics give way to an unpleasant, annoying smell do not think twice, discard them.

 

According Cleide Vieira, the regulations for the cosmetics expiration date in the United States, Canada and other countries of the European Union is different. There, manufacturers do not need to put on the label the date of exact validity of cosmetics.

 

Many products have a printed on the packaging with a drawing of an open flask with number and letter. This symbol informs that the date of the product will count from the moment that the cosmetic is opened or the seal of the product is removed. "A tip is to put a sticker so that it is opened with the date", suggests dermatologist.

 

The letters usually displayed are: M (month - month in English) or Y (a year - year in English). If you have, for example, 6 M means that the product has a duration of 6 months from the time the item has been opened.

 

The place where the makeups are saved can be decisive to increase their useful life or unusable them. The ideal environment for the storage should be cool, light and airy, preferably away from the bathroom, as moisture provides a means of culture favorable to bacteria and fungi, which degrade the products and harm the skin. But if unavoidable save them in this space, put makeup in sealed boxes.

 

Cleide Vieira explains that let cosmetics within the nécessaire is also a risk factor for the proliferation of microorganisms, for high temperature, products can spoil and suffer contamination. "Just take the bag just what is needed to retouch the makeup."

 

To ensure the durability of the brushes and sponges, the dermatologist recommends cleaning every 30 to 40 days on average. In the case of brushes, the ideal is to wash with shampoo and do light movements with the palm of the hand. and dry the bristles with paper towel and use the hair dryer helps speed drying. The brushes should only be stored when they are completely dry. If they are still wet stored, the risk of contamination is high.

 

The dermatologist recommends that, in case of irritation or itching, the ideal is to suspend the product and wash the skin with mild soap to completely remove the makeup, and, soon after, spray thermal water or perform compresses with saline in the region. If symptoms persist, the search for a dermatologist is essential.

 

TRACES DELICATE, CATCHING COLOURS AND VARIOUS RISKS

 

Lipstick, mascara, blush and many other makeup items became part of the life of cosmetics saleswoman, Joyce Albuquerque, from when she was a girl, to 12 years. But for storage account and sharing of sponges, brushes and makeup with others, the problems do not appear to cost.

 

"I had a serious fungus in the eye by using a brush and mascara," she says, to remember a corneal ulcer in the right eye, in adolescence. At 20, Joyce Albuquerque, who is also a professional make-up artist, was working as a clerk in a blood bank. Employment, in turn, needed vain women.

But she did not realize the dangers that this behavior could cause the health of your skin. Result: serious acne problem. With the help of a dermatologist, she had to make a treatment acid based. And improved.

 

However, in December 2014, with the intense routine store sales that works, lack of sleep and stress, she neglected once again the skin and hence the cleaning of products. In early 2015 she developed called acne rosacea - a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects adults after 30 years of age, being more common in women. It took two months of treatment.

 

Today 34, Joyce has a heightened concern when it comes to cleaning your beauty products. "I got a feeling in my skin that I had not, and it made me rethink the use of cosmetics is something intimate, itself. No one has the right to leave sharing with others, "she says, which has the makeup as their best ally in all seasons.
