When buying cosmetics, many people choose to follow the advice of the shopping guide at the shopping guide counter. However, many shopping guides only boast about the products in order to sell them smoothly. But in fact, 90% of people have had the experience that buying skin care products has no effect. Can we only fall into the pit again and again? Today, this website will share some skills to distinguish the quality of cosmetics.
How to distinguish the quality of cosmetics
1. Depending on the ingredients, the quality and efficacy of cosmetics are determined by the ingredients. The state stipulates that all cosmetics, whether domestic or imported, must be marked on the instructions, otherwise they will be banned from sale. If the product doesn't even have a list of ingredients, it doesn't have to be considered at all. The ranking in the ingredient list is also mysterious: the higher the ranking, the higher the content of this ingredient in the cosmetics. Water and glycerin are generally located in the front of the list of ingredients, flavors and preservatives (hydroxybenzyl methyl ester / ethyl ester / propyl ester / butyl ester, methyl chloroisothiazolone, phenoxy alcohol, quaternary ammonium salt -15, benzyl alcohol, iodopuryl alcohol butyl butyl formate, imidazolidin, bis (Qiang Jiaji) imidazolidin urea, hydantoin), generally irritating to the skin, so the dosage is small, usually at the end of the table. It is recommended not to buy skin care products that do not meet this standard.
2. Looking at the origin, many people will confuse the origin with the place of production. In fact, it is very simple. The origin is actually the birthplace, the original birthplace of cosmetics brands or the original origin of goods. Each brand will only have one origin. For example, the origin of Estee Lauder is the United States, and Avon is France! The place of production is the foundry, which refers to the place where the goods are produced, produced or manufactured. Most brands will have multiple places of production.
3. Look at the national inspection and quarantine mark. For the imported cosmetics that are allowed to be sold and used after passing the inspection and quarantine, there will be a circular Sequin mark on the product package. The sign style is circular, the text on the front is "China Inspection and Quarantine" and its English abbreviation "CIQ", and the nine digit digital serial number is added on the back. Consumers should choose products without this label with caution.
4. According to the texture, absorption speed and product reputation, the more pure the product does not contain harmful substances, the more delicate the texture is and the faster the skin absorbs. When applying, you can feel very slippery and absorb it immediately. In addition, reference to the personal experience of others is also a good reference standard for testing skin care products.
5. Smell the taste. Good products have pure ingredients and do not need strong spices to suppress the peculiar smell of the product, but some, such as the taste of plants and Chinese herbal medicine, are normal. Some products that contain alcohol, such as butanediol, have a taste that is not worthy of attention.
6. Test the temperature with pH test paper: drop some products on the test paper. If the pH value is less than 7, the test paper is red and acidic; Greater than 7 and blue-green is alkaline. If it is close to pH7 neutral or close to skin pH 5 The skin care product is mild and will not stimulate the skin. But if you want your lotion to have the function of convergence or exfoliation, pH 4 ~ 5 is the best. For oily skin, use alkaline cleanser, so that the degreasing power will be stronger.
7. Test the greasiness of skin care products: Method 1: apply a little skin care products on the back of your hand and gently press it with oil absorbing facial paper after 3 to 5 minutes. If you can still absorb a lot of oil, it means it is difficult to absorb and too greasy. On the contrary, if there is no oil left, it means that the maintenance products are easy to absorb and refreshing. Method 2: also apply a little of the skin care product on the back of your hand, and rotate your hand under the light for observation after 3 to 5 minutes. If you can still see the oily light, it means that it is greasy and difficult to absorb.
Suggestions on the purchase of cosmetics
First, when purchasing cosmetics online, try to ask the origin and domestic agents, such as Maybelline and L'Oreal produced in Suzhou, as well as the production batch number
Second, I would like to say that imported cosmetics are mainly designed for Western skin and are not suitable for our Oriental people. Don't think imported cosmetics must be good. Brand cosmetics sold in China are basically specially designed for oriental people, such as domestic L'Oreal and Avon, which are more suitable for Chinese people.
Third, communicate more with sellers and understand the situation of sellers and goods in many aspects, instead of being confused by the reputation of merchants.
Fourth, buy cosmetics, mainly to see whether it is suitable for you, and don't let the brand and price become your purchase.
Fifth, use Alipay and other trading tools.
How to distinguish true and false cosmetics
How to distinguish true and false lotion:
1. Smell it. Good products have pure ingredients and do not need strong spices to suppress the peculiar smell of the product. 2, if it is latex, take a glass of water, pour the emulsion into the water a little bit, if floating on the water, it proves that the inside contain oil stone ester (this is not recommended for cosmetics now), shake suddenly, the water becomes milky white, proved that contain emulsifier inside, such cosmetics are not good. If it is poured into the water, the emulsion will sink to the bottom and prove that it does not contain oilstone ester. Oilstone ester will hurt the skin, causing dry skin and lack of water, because it is the main reason for blocking pores. Over time, pores will become larger and larger. This is what experts say. How to distinguish true and false essence: for liquid essence, you must pay attention to the essence and color of the essence when you buy it. If you find the phenomenon of turbidity, precipitation or discoloration, such essence can not be used. Consumers with oily skin, acne and other infectious skin must be careful when buying and using essence. Even if they buy, they should choose the essence of anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects.
How to distinguish true and false Foundation:
1. Put an appropriate amount into water and observe the reaction. Generally, there are three situations: sticking to the edge of the cup, floating on the water and sinking at the bottom of the cup. These three cases illustrate the components contained. Good products do not stick to the edge of the cup, float or sink the bottom of the cup. a. What sticks to the edge of the cup is animal oil. b. Floating on the water is mineral oil. c. Heavy metals, lead, mercury, etc. sink at the bottom of the cup. How to distinguish true and false make-up: find a silver ornament and put on the cosmetics or make-up. If the silver ornament turns black, it indicates that there is lead and mercury in the cosmetics.
How to distinguish true and false makeup removers:
When you choose, you should first rub some oily foundation or waterproof lipstick. Mascara and other products are put on the back of your hand, then pour down the makeup remover to see if it is easy to blend with make-up products and wipe them off with tissues. If the makeup remover is placed too long in the store, there will be lumps like Douhua or salted soybean milk. How to distinguish true and false facial cleanser: 1. It has a faint fragrance. It should be melted in water and has no greasy feeling. 2. Burn with fire, put the facial cleanser into the spoon and burn with fire. If oil splashes, it is not a good facial cleanser. If it burns more and more like milk, it means it is a good facial cleanser. 3. Just try pH test paper. Just squeeze it on the test paper and you'll know
