We all say that people are a three-point appearance and seven-point dress. For modern women, if they want to have beautiful makeup, lipstick is indispensable. But did you know that this small cosmetic can cause great harm to women’s health? What should we pay attention to in response to this problem? Next, let the editor introduce it to you.
High-end brand lipstick exposed to excessive lead content
Excessive lead can cause damage to the central nervous system, lower IQ, and memory loss. In addition, for pregnant women, lead is an extremely dangerous substance, which can cause miscarriage and even lead to infertility.
The more expensive the lipstick, the more dangerous it is. 60% of lipsticks contain excessive lead, which is harmful
According to the results of a recent inspection conducted by the U.S. Office of Consumer Affairs on lipsticks produced by 33 cosmetics manufacturers, we can learn that nearly 61% of lipsticks contain excessive lead.
Among them, the lead content in the lipsticks of Cover Girl, L’Oreal, Dior, and other brands is seriously exceeded, and the cheaper the lipstick, the lower the lead content, while the more expensive lipsticks contain more lead. There are two possible ways for lead to enter lipstick. The pigment contains lead, or other raw materials for making lipstick, such as zinc oxide, containing impurity lead. Although it may not be added artificially, there is no safe limit for lead content, that is, any level of lead content is harmful to the human body.
Celine Hammond, a professor at the Institute of Environmental Health Sciences at the University of California, suggested that consumers should master basic safety knowledge: do not let young children play with lipstick; ladies who love beauty only apply lipstick 2 to 3 times a day.

There are several reasons for this. One is that traditional culture suppresses and distorts women’s psychology. It is believed that it is not good for girls to express themselves frankly, especially in emotional relationships.
The second reason is that in women’s psychology, receiving people and things is always “relationship-oriented”, and they are extremely concerned about other people’s feelings. For example, a girl originally planned to break up but was very afraid of hurting her lover. This kind of contradictory psychology is Common among female friends.
There is a “projection” technique in psychology. A person always unconsciously “projects” his own psychological characteristics into his daily necessities. The “daughter’s heart” is no longer unfathomable.

The key to communication between men and women is mutual understanding and acceptance, which is the basis of harmonious communication.

5 How to keep lipstick well
Scrape off the used layer of lipstick, then screw it into the bottle, cover the bottle tightly, and store it in a cool place. Do not expose it to direct sunlight or place it in a place with excessive temperature, so as not to dissolve or deteriorate it.
Clean up the powder scattered in the box, or wipe the mouth and cap of the bottle with alcohol, and cap tightly or tighten it tightly. The tool brush or sponge puff should be cleaned first, and then put into the tool bag after drying.
Air entering the nail polish bottle will greatly shorten the service life of the nail polish, so wash the bottle body and mouth with nail polish remover first, and then seal it tightly to prevent it from drying out and hardening. When using it again, mix the nail polish well before using it.
As long as the perfume is opened, no matter how it is stored, the smell will change. However, the spray perfume is better preserved because the bottle mouth is designed to be sealed, while the preservation of the dipping perfume is more difficult. You can clean the mouth of the bottle with an alcohol cotton ball first, then seal the mouth of the bottle tightly with wax and put it in a cool place, so as to avoid the smell of the perfume.
Don’t put beauty products near the refrigerator door. Opening and closing the door back and forth can easily make the products dry and deteriorate. You can wrap a layer of plastic wrap on the outside of the bottle, so that not only is it not easy to dry out, but the bottle is also clean. If it is stored indoors, it must be placed in a place where it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight and is ventilated, so as to fully ensure the safety of the product.
