First of all, the most important thing when choosing cosmetics is whether the quality is guaranteed. Famous manufacturers and brands are a reference factor, but the key is to see whether their product ingredients contain flavors, preservatives, pigments, animal ingredients, whether they have been dermatologically tested, and also pay attention to whether the product has an inspection certificate and production license to prevent counterfeiting. Second, learn to identify the quality of cosmetics.

① Identify from the appearance: Good cosmetics should be brightly colored, elegant and soft. If the color is found to be dark and dirty, or of varying shades, it means there is a quality problem. If the appearance is turbid, the oil and water are separated or flocs appear, or the paste shrinks and cracks, it cannot be used.

② Identify by smell: The smell of cosmetics can be light or strong, but they are all pure. If it smells pungent or strange, it means it is a counterfeit or spoiled product.

③ Identify by feeling: Take a small amount of cosmetics and gently apply it on the skin. If it can adhere to the skin evenly and tightly and feel smooth and comfortable, it is a cosmetic with a fine texture. If the skin feels rough, sticky, or even itchy and dry after application, it is low-quality cosmetics.

2. Choice of purchase occasion

At present, domestic consumers generally choose to buy cosmetics at cosmetics counters such as supermarkets or department stores. 32% of consumers in developed countries such as Europe and the United States choose to buy cosmetics at drugstores. This is because the cosmetics that can be sold in drugstores have very strict requirements on indicators such as product safety and effectiveness. Only when cosmetics are analyzed and studied like drugs and their safety and efficacy are determined can they be sold in drugstores. Therefore, consumers who buy cosmetics in department stores and always encounter skin allergy problems can go to drugstores to choose cosmetics that are suitable for them.

3. Personal and environmental factors When choosing cosmetics, in addition to the quality of the cosmetics, the user and environmental factors should also be considered.

③Based on skin color: When choosing cosmetics such as lipstick, eye shadow, foundation, nail polish, etc., they must be coordinated with the depth of your skin color. People with fair skin should choose cosmetics with sun protection function.
