Using expired cosmetics, women are putting their health at risk.
Dangerous cosmetic products can be in the purse of any girl.
And we are not talking about cheap cosmetics, which contain untested substances, and the expiration date of funds, after which it may become hazardous to health.
In London scientists have conducted among women the survey to see, do they have over the shelf life of cosmetic products used in daily life. Experts have got disappointing results, since every fifth representative of the beautiful half of humanity uses in cosmetics, which is long overdue to be trash.
Next, the researchers tested five of expired cosmetic products: lipstick, mascara, blush, concealer and lip gloss. It turned out that these tools contain a number of harmful microorganisms that can cause skin infections. However the most terrible was found out later, when scientists found that in the overdue the cosmetics there are causative agents of meningitis, gastroenteritis, vaginitis bacterial, and infectious diseases of the urinary tract.
Scientists noted that women often don’t even think about the fact that cosmetics have a certain shelf life. However, experts stressed that if you are using cosmetics, you need to look not only at the expiration date, and how long they actually used. For example, unopened mascara can be stored for a year or more, without losing its properties, however, if it was already open, it should be within three months of use. Experts advise women to buy cosmetics in small bottles. In addition, scientists insist that the beautiful half of humanity has always followed his own bag.
