Dressing table hygiene corner - cosmetics packaging

When it comes to hygienic corners, people tend to think of the bottom of the bed and the corner of the wall, but they ignore the glamorous dressing table. The cosmetics in bottles and jars have been exposed for a long time and become a gathering place for dust and bacteria.

Many families install the dressing table in the bathroom and combine it with the washbasin. In this regard, Li Hongzhu, a researcher at Tianjin Pharmaceutical Research Institute, said in an interview with the reporter of Life Times that the bathroom is poorly ventilated and relatively moist, and it is easy to breed bacteria. The hot and humid environment will not only accelerate the deterioration of cosmetics, but also the bacteria will take the opportunity to enter, which is not good for health. If the dressing table is in the bedroom, large and small bottles, especially the mouth of the bottle, become a gathering place for dust. It can be said that the dirtiest place on the dressing table is the outer packaging of all kinds of cosmetics we use every day.

So how can we clean the dressing table? Li Hongzhu suggested that first of all, the indoors should be ventilated frequently, and the cosmetics should be placed as little as possible on the dressing table; the large-packaged cosmetics should be packed into small bottles, which can be used for short-term use, and the rest should be stored in a dry and cool place; The cosmetics, combs and other items on the table should be rubbed frequently, and the countertops should be cleaned regularly. If necessary, disinfect with alcohol; when using cosmetics, tighten the lid to avoid deterioration of the water; Such as lipstick, eye shadow, etc., can be stored in a sealed box.
