How to determine whether cosmetics contain hormones

If it is a lotion, take a glass of water and pour a little bit of the lotion into the water. If it floats on the water, it proves that it contains oleyl ester (which is not recommended for use in current cosmetics). Shake it and the water turns milky white, it proves that it contains emulsifier. Such cosmetics are not good.

If the emulsion sinks to the bottom when poured into water, it does not contain oleyl ester and can be used.

Oil stone esters can damage the skin and cause it to become dry and dehydrated. Because it is the main cause of clogged pores, over time, the pores will become larger and larger.

If it is a paste, put a little in an ordinary spoon and burn it until it is completely burned. If there is black residue, it is various additives. The more it is, the more additives it has. Then put a cotton wick in the spoon and light it. You will see that the water will emit black smoke. Don't use it!

What cosmetics are good for pregnant women?

Pregnant women must be careful when choosing cosmetics and read the ingredients carefully. If they contain petrolatum, artificial colors, isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol, penetration enhancers, paraffin, essences and mineral oils, etc., pregnant women must stay away from them. However, the ingredient list of some skin care products is not necessarily complete, and expectant mothers should pay special attention. For example, perfume may contain artificial musk, which is best not to use. Artificial musk will remain in the body and affect breast milk. It is recommended to give priority to skin care products such as pure natural plants, medicines, and herbal essences, but not all pure natural or plant extracts are safe and have no side effects, so it is best to choose cosmetics specifically for pregnant women. At present, there are three main types of cosmetics for pregnant women: natural cosmetics for pregnant women, organic cosmetics for pregnant women, and original cosmetics for pregnant women.

What is the correct procedure for applying makeup?

1. Primer before makeup

The first step of makeup is to apply the foundation. Before applying foundation and other cosmetics, the skin must be sufficiently hydrated. If the skin is very dry, it can even be a little oily. Therefore, the initial lotion must be applied sufficiently, but not too much. Because the skin needs moisture to prevent makeup from falling off, which affects the overall makeup fit and naturalness. However, if you choose a branded primer, it will be moisturizing enough and you can skip the moisturizer step.

2. Sun protection

Sunscreen should be applied in summer or winter, in bright or small sun, or even on cloudy days, because clouds cannot block ultraviolet rays. The ultraviolet rays in the sun are divided into long waves and medium waves. The long waves can act on the deep layers of the skin. Over time, they will gradually reduce the moisture in the skin, damage skin repair cells, and damage the collagen in the dermis. Therefore, you should be cautious when choosing sunscreen, and it is best to choose according to your skin type.

3. Liquid foundation

Liquid foundation plays a protective role. It is the first step of makeup and the last step of skin care. It blocks dust in the air from entering the skin, so it plays a protective role. Moisturizing liquid foundation with highly effective moisturizing ingredients can "catch" moisture in the air and "lock" moisture in the skin, so it can moisturize the skin and is the most considerate layer of skin. If the weather turns hot or you have oily skin, foundation with oil-control ingredients will bring you better results.

4. Concealer

Concealer can be considered as a kind of foundation. The difference is that concealer has better coverage than ordinary foundation, fits the skin better, lasts longer and is not easy to remove. Everyone has blemishes on their face. Using concealer can make your face smooth and delicate again. Here I recommend the nyx concealer palette, which has six colors and is very powerful. If used correctly, it can cover up many skin blemishes.

5. Set your makeup

The step of setting makeup is very important, especially in summer. If the makeup is not set, it will easily come off. In addition, many setting makeup products can also cover facial blemishes, making the makeup look softer and presenting a hazy beauty, which is especially suitable for daily makeup. Moreover, there are many types of setting makeup products for many people to choose from.

6. Overall makeup

Start with eyebrow drawing. The eyebrows should be light, the slope should be deep, the peak should be high, and the tail of the eyebrows should be clear. Eye shadow can shape the outline and personality of the eyes. Start from the outer corner of the eye, deep outside and light inside. Use bright colors under the eyebrows. Choose eye shadow that matches your clothes. When drawing eyeliner, you can draw according to your favorite style. When curling eyelashes, first apply the roots, middle, and tip of the eyelashes, and finally apply a layer of mascara, so that the eyelashes will be long and curly. When drawing lipstick, choose lipstick that matches your clothes. Bright lipstick must be applied with a lipstick brush. Be aware that lipstick is easy to melt in summer, so you must know how to deal with it. This is it.
