Storing Cosmetics

Storing cosmetics is very important. Not storing it right may cause your make-ups or lipsticks destroyed earlier.

In storing cosmetics, store it in cool, dry places which are not direct to sunlight. Humid and hot areas can cause the cosmetics to spoil.
Also, you have to check the expiry dates of your cosmetics. Expired cosmetics may have harmful bacteria.

Be sure that all your cosmetics are tightly capped so that, they are away from oxidation and contamination. It can also prolong the shelf life of your cosmetics.

Changing of colors and textures may be the signs of bacterial contamination.

Do not moisten cosmetics with water or saliva. Saliva creates a conductive environment for bacteria to breed.

Never share your cosmetics – not even a quick dash of lipsticks or eyeliner because chances of getting infection are high.

Throw the products that have been contact with the area that is infected. For example your eye is infected or you have sore around your mouth.
