There are many cosmetics on the market, which makes MM very picky. Now I'll teach you a trick how to tell!
Just a glass of water will do.
Why use water? Because we wash our faces with water every day, the molecules of water are close to those of the skin, so anything that can be dissolved by water can be absorbed by the skin.
Put a proper amount of foundation or emulsion in water and observe its reaction.
Generally, there are three situations: sticking to the side of the cup, floating on the water surface and sinking at the bottom of the cup.
These three situations illustrate the components contained in it.
1 What sticks to the edge of the cup is animal oil. It is extracted from animals. Think about which cosmetics factory has an animal slaughterhouse next to it. No, slaughterhouses kill animals, and then pile bones and fur aside. I saved a lot and took it to the cosmetics factory. Who knows how long it will last? If it is summer, will those things go bad and rot? Eating bad things will cause vomiting and diarrhea, and so will the skin. Cosmetics made of spoiled things are allergic, and manufacturers know that they are allergic, so pacifiers and desensitizers will be added during the manufacturing process. Soothing is an anesthetic for immune nerves. It will feel good at first, but it will not work after a long time. Beauticians all know that the same brand of cosmetics needs to be replaced after 2-3 years of use. What is this? In exchange for sedatives.
Floating on the water is mineral oil. Mineral oil is extracted from oil mined underground. The first layer is used as gasoline; The second layer is lepton oil; The third layer is asphalt, which is used to pave the road. This cosmetic is made of the second layer of lepton oil, which has a good moisturizing effect, but it is airtight. Just like wearing a pair of leather pants in winter, the legs are wet and airtight, which will affect the permeability of the skin and even accelerate the aging of the skin.
Heavy metals, lead, mercury, etc. sink at the bottom of the cup. It is reported in the newspaper that children born of whitening products commonly used by pregnant women are prone to cerebral palsy.
If all the products you use don't stick to the edge of the cup and the bottom of the cup doesn't float or sink, then congratulations, because you have chosen the right one, you can use it with peace of mind. You can try it at home. MM should not use the wrong things because of blindly following the trend, but it is not worth the loss. Because after all, health is much more important than beauty.
There is also a simple way to identify cosmetics. Find a silver ornament to wear. When the silver ornaments turn black, it means that there are lead and mercury in cosmetics. This method is suitable for all basic care and make-up!
