Some Common Nous on Keeping and Identifying Cosmetic Products

 

Cosmetics become the main goods that help people to keep fresh skin. However, there are still many nous on using them which we could not neglect.

1) How to confirm the quality warranty of cosmetics?

A bottle of face cream couldn’t be use such long time, do you think the product could still use and safe for skin if you put a cosmetic that doesn’t finished using for a long time until a layer of dust on its surface? So if you are a madman on storing goods, you should pay more attention on the quality warranty of the cosmetics. The quality warranty of general skin care products is 2 years, and some may 1 year. Therefore, if you have already opened your products, you should try to finish them as soon as possible.

2) How to extend the cosmetics’ life?

First, write the date of purchase on the bottom of the bottle

Regardless of the products’ warranty, you will be difficult to remind when you buy them. So write the date you open them is a good way.

Second, the skin care products should be far away from light and high temperature.

The cosmetic experts could responsible tell you that it absolutely will be prolong the life of products. If the products are always exposed to the light and high temperature, the active ingredients of them will disappear. So you should keep them in the shade.

Third, wash your fingers before you put them in the cosmetic bottle

Although most cosmetic products contain the preservatives, and we could rest assured of applying the facial cream and eye cream, it had better to wash your fingers ahead for being not to pollute the cream in the bottle and your face. This is also the reason why some brands of cosmetics begin to equip with spoon or stick instead.

Forth, frozen the skin care products

If there is a certain kind of cosmetic that you don’t often use, but you still want to prolong its life, you should store it in refrigerated counter (not freezer). This way generally can guarantee the activity of the product.

Fifth, screw the lid down tightly

The air will quickly lower the active ingredients of the skin care products, so remember to screw the lid down tightly after use.

3) How to identify your products which should be threw away

If the color, quality and smell of the products have changed, it is time to discard them. Look at the quality warranty. Observing other prompts if there is no obvious mark, such as the products change into thin down, the water and oil separate, the smell is different or the color changes from white to yellow or light brown… These are all the symbols which the products have already gone bad.

Sun Precaution Skills in Hot Summer – Keep Your Fresh Skin

 

Only to pay attention on sunscreen is not enough if we want to keep a fresh skin in the hot summer, so there are still some others practice skills on sun precaution that we should take care.

First, to repair the skin after sunburn

How would we do if we coincidently sun all day? Don’t be afraid, to complete the repairing work of the skin after sunburn will also help us to keep a fresh skin. Here, some mainly common and convenient repairing methods will be introduced to us.

1) If the people engaged in outdoor activities, no matter how extent of the sunburn they experienced, they should soak the body in water when back home and wipe the body shower foam that has the function of calm and cool, and rub for a while, then rinse these bubbles with warm water, so next is to shower with cold water if allowed. After all these shower procedures, the people should wipe body care products, or ice compress the hot skin with towel that wrapped with ice so that to reduce the uncomfortable feeling.

2) Do facial mask for skin is a good way, and the cucumber with egg white facial mask is recommended. At first, put the cucumber into refrigerator in advance, and then whip the material into paste with mill, next add the egg white to beat them together well. At this time, wipe the facial mask on face and clean them up after the moisture dry. As the cucumber rich in nutrients and could directly moisturize the skin which have lost large amounts of water because of sun, it can increase the skin’s ability of regeneration. In addition, egg white contains large numbers of protein which also could help repairing the skin, therefore, this facial mask is a very good repair mask.

Second, another skill for sun precaution must depend on the food. There is a kind of photosensitive foods, like coriander, Chinese chives, soy sauce, turnip and so on which could be easy to make the spots come out and aggravate the ultraviolet ray to hurt skin if eat more. But the fish, white gourd, cauliflower, strawberry, etc., are fine against sun foods, eat more these foods could absorb moisturize and exposes to the sun ingredients.

How to Identify Gold Jewelry

 

There are some types which are easy to confuse with gold jewelry and usually dazzled people, such as the plated gold jewelry, leaf-gilding jewelry, copper jewelry or some other copper alloy ornaments. If we could not distinguish them clear, we may make a bad bargain.

Gold-plated jewelry: It is a kind of jewelry that needs to be coated with a layer of gold on the surface of other metal jewelry under the
electroplating technique. The color is so similar with the real gold jewelry that difficult to identify when they are new. However, gold-
plated jewelry are light in weight, hard in texture, color-changed for long time and there is no marks after biting. Some jewelry with bad
electroplating will look red or white.

Leaf-gilding jewelry: They are wrapped with 24K or 22K gold foil on the surf of other metal jewelry (If the foil's K number is too low, it
will have poor flexibility.) This kind of jewelry is bright and difficult to fade so that they are more similar with real gold jewelry. But we could distinguish them from a closer look, like depression part or back, etc where the foils are irregularity. For example, if there is a broken connector, we could see this section the jewelry with yellow outside and white inner. Besides, leaf-gilding jewelry are also lighter in weight and harder than gold jewelry, so there will be not easy to leave marks after biting and bend.

Copper Jewelry: This kind of jewelry is yellow inclining to red, shiny dark, soft texture and light weight.

Copper alloy jewelry: Its color is white, and it will be fade after long time wearing. (This kind of jewelry may make people's skin change
black)

No matter which kind of jewelry, gold-plated, copper jewelry or others, they are generally not sign as well as the gold jewelry, or the sign is different from gold jewelry's sign, such as some may engrave with letters "GK" which means "gold-plated". So we customers should adopt to identify jewelry from these marks.

How to Design the Environmental Decoration?

 

In order to meet the need of health aim, more and more people start to pay attention to the environmental home decoration in modern time. But when we mentioned the decoration, some people think that it will be environmental decoration if they choose environmental friendly decorated materials. In fact, environmental materials do not equal to environmental decoration, it is only one part of green home decoration.

So how can we make environmental decoration for our new house?

Generally speaking, to create a health and environmental home should consider in four points: the reasonable design; environmentally decorated materials; artificial environment, such as rational natural lighting, ventilation, air conditioning and humidity, etc.; the indoor ornaments' selection and display.

Reasonable design

This point should be first considered in environmental design. For our personal house, we need a space that suit for us to live. Therefore, create some closely linked but independent interior spaces are necessary. Besides, the proportion of each room and the choice of geometry should be fit for people's visual and living habits. To make a comfortable and health living environment in the limit space that satisfy the house owner's taste is one environmental decoration.

Environmental materials

When people choose the home decorated materials, they must pay attention to select the materials which are in line with national standard. What's more, people should not go for luxury decoration blindly, because some luxurious in appearance decorative materials, like some granite, probable have the elements which are harm for our body. So pay more attention on environmental materials as much as possible and check out the related proved data for reducing pollution before buying.

Reasonable natural light and ventilation design

People should try to not block the natural light and ventilation when design house; and if the natural light is insufficient, artificial lighting should be played a role; if ventilation is inadequate, it should add the mechanical ventilation (such as air purifier or smoke machines) especial for the kitchen, bathroom or other places where are easier to pollute.

Skillfully placed flowers

Flowers could not only decorate room, but have good effect on controlling harmful gases. Chlorophytum, aloe, ivy, camellia, pomegranate, daisy, jasmine, lemon, etc. are all good for decorating house and making environmental space for people.

Choose the environmental ornaments to decorate house which will not harm for people's health, like wheat stalk picture, straw plaiting (all from nature material) in Chinese handicraft store.
