Do you practice cosmetics safety?
Do you use your cosmetics responsibly? In other words, no sharing and keeping those containers(n.容器) closed tightly when not in use? I hope so -- you never know where that bacterial infection is going to come from.
Sharing cosmetics -- from lipstick(n.口红) to mascara(n.睫毛膏) -- can spread bacteria from person to person very easily. While most women don't share their cosmetics, many do. Unless you know where that lip or face has been, you're putting yourself at risk of infection by opening up your makeup case to someone else.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services suggests these tips:
-Never allow other people to borrow your makeup(n.化妆品), which can spread bacteria and other germs.
-When trying on makeup at a store, always use a new applicator(n.涂抹的工具、涂药器), or ask the salesperson to clean it with alcohol(n.酒精) before using.
- To prevent bacterial growth, keep your makeup closed tightly, and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing makeup to sun and other forms of direct light and heat.
- If you have an eye infection(n.感染), stop using makeup until the irritation(n.发炎) clears. Discard(v.丢弃) any makeup you used when you had the infection.
-Throw away old makeup, and any makeup that turns color or develops an odor(n.气味).
- Try not to inhale(v.吸入) powders or aerosol(n.气态悬浮物，尘粒，喷雾剂) products, which can irritate(v.使发炎，使疼痛) or damage the lungs.
你认真负责地使用化妆品了吗？或者说，没有共用以及不用的时候拧紧瓶盖了吗？我希望你这样做了——因为你从来不知道细菌感染从哪里而来。
共用化妆品——从口红到睫毛膏——人与人之间很容易传播细菌。虽然大多数的人都不会共用化妆品，但是仍有许多人会去这么做。除非你知道她接触过哪里，否则你将会因为随便与别人共用你的化妆品而面临被感染的危险。
美国健康与公共事业卫生部建议方面如下：
- 不要允许其他人借用你的化妆品，这样能传播细菌以及其他的菌种。
- 在店里想要试用化妆品的时候，最好用新的涂抹工具，或者在使用前要求售货员用酒精清洁一下。
- 为了防止细菌滋生，拧紧你的化妆品盖，储存在阴凉、干燥的地方。避免化妆品曝光在太阳光或者其他形式的直射光和热下。
- 如果眼部受到了感染，不要使用化妆品直到皮肤炎症完全消失。当有感染的时候，请停止使用那些化妆品。
- 丢掉过期化妆品和变色或者产生异味的化妆品。
- 避免吸入粉末及喷雾产品，吸入会对肺部造成刺激或者损伤。 |
