Starting to calculate how much money we spend on all sorts of cosmetics, we often clutch our heads. Therefore, it is not surprising that many women are thinking about how to save money on cosmetics..

Of course, expired cosmetics should not be used.. But if its expiration date has not yet ended, you can use a few tricks to extend the life of cosmetics..

Sunscreen should be stored in the refrigerator. SPF creams should not be left in the sun for a long time.. If possible, try to store them in a cool place.. Everyone knows that you need to renew such creams every couple of hours, because during this period the SPF filters have time to completely collapse and stop working.. Also, these filters lose their activity and as a result of being exposed to the sun for a long time, being inside the package. Therefore, you should protect your creams from ultraviolet radiation.. Put them in a cold place (preferably in the refrigerator), but do not freeze!

Use cosmetics to the last drop. By squeezing out the last drop of cream from a tube, you will save money on purchasing a new one.. This is especially true on vacation, when it is unprofitable for you to purchase a new package of day or protective cream, since the same remedy is waiting for you at home.. There is a very practical way to do this.. How do you squeeze mayonnaise or toothpaste out of flexible packaging? Some use special devices for this, while others use folk wisdom.. Why not use similar primas for foundation or hand cream? Use what's already there!

Apply lipstick with a brush. This method is the most economical for applying lipstick.. Makeup artists say women usually eat half of their lipstick. Therefore, they recommend using a primer, or applying a little foundation on the lips before applying lipstick directly.. Makeup will become more resistant, so you do not have to constantly tint. In addition, do not use lipstick sponges, which place the product unevenly and uneconomically.. Use only clean brushes!

Reflections on natural cosmetics This advice was posted on his blog by a salon owner and stylist who noticed that conditioners and shampoos retain their properties longer and better in glass containers.. He recommends pouring the contents of large plastic shampoo bottles into glass bottles.. I’ll add on my own that oils placed in plastic also quickly thicken and dry, even harden at the same time.. Therefore, after the purchase, I also pour them into glass containers. Or I store them in the fridge..

Hands off! Our hands are a breeding ground for various bacteria.. If you never touch a cosmetic product with your lips, fingers or a dirty brush, it will be able to remain bacteria-free until the expiration date.. Of course, this rule is not easy to follow.. But it is necessary to try to touch only with a clean brush or clean fingers to your cosmetics.. If you use organic cosmetics, be doubly careful, as these products do not contain preservatives, therefore they are more susceptible to the activity of various bacteria..

Real savings in smaller volumes. When purchasing, for example, washing powder, it is more profitable to use large packages.

In cosmetics, this pattern is not observed, since cosmetics are not stored for a long time.. That is, buying in bulk is not cheaper, since large packages are used much longer than their expiration date.. Therefore, we get an extra product that goes out of use.. Generally, the actual quantity we need is placed in a small package. And some components, such as alpha hydroxy acids, become more powerful over time, which can cause severe allergic reactions if a cream containing these acids is used after its expiration date..

Get the most out of your product. For example, it is better to use a moisturizer immediately after washing or showering, which allows you to use the product much more economically and efficiently, since the skin already has a certain amount of moisture.. It is better not to wipe the face with a towel after washing, but immediately apply a moisturizer, which will be easier to slide, the skin will not move when applied, and water will penetrate the skin along with the cream. The same can be said about hair conditioners and shampoos, which spread better and are more economical when applied to wet, but not damp hair..

Dried varnish can still be saved. If your nail polish thickens, do not rush to throw it away, drop a little nail polish remover or acetone, then the polish will become liquid again.

Store in a cool dry place. All liquid textures should be stored in the refrigerator, where they retain their properties much better.. But not the bathroom! A place where constant temperatures and humidity are observed is not the best place to store cosmetics, since it is capricious and constantly changes its properties depending on the place of storage..

10. Don't pump ink in the air. It is better to screw the brush-brush into the tube where the mascara is located. By simply plugging the tube with a brush, you pump a lot of air into it, which as a result leads to the penetration of bacteria into the tube and to the rapid drying of the product.. Another tip: blot the brush with mascara in a tissue after use, and also before returning it to the tube.. In this way, you can minimize the risk of bacteria growth on the brush..
