Hygienic lipstick

Hygienic lipstick is included in the basic set of skin care products. In summer, this is protection for the whole family from the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation, in winter - the prevention of "chapped" lips.

Tender lips without signs of peeling make any face more attractive. Their well-groomed appearance is as natural as clean hair and fresh clothes, so hygienic lipstick is necessary not only for women in a cosmetic bag, but also for men and children.

The skin on the lips is thin and sensitive. It has no sebaceous glands, is unable to produce melanin for natural UV protection, and is more susceptible to the natural aging process without additional care. There are many ways to restore softness and moisture to the delicate cover, but the most convenient and effective of them is to use a good hygienic lipstick.

Hygienic lipsticks and balms for women's lips differ from the universal product by the presence of additional components: fragrances, coloring pigment or glitters - substances that increase blood flow and increase the volume of the lips. Also, hygienic lipstick can act as a base for decorative cosmetics. It will protect the skin from overdrying, ultraviolet radiation and persistent color eating.

Lipsticks with shea butter, cocoa, jojoba and panthenol are very popular.

A characteristic feature of women's funds is the beautiful design of the container. Classic stick packaging can be decorated with patterns, decorative elements on the lid or have an unusual shape.

Flat round jars with drawings and plastic containers are common, repeating in miniature the shape of chocolates, hearts, fruits, flowers.

Men are often finicky when it comes to taking care of their skin. The word "lipstick", even if it is bought at a pharmacy, causes a dismissive attitude among the majority. However, their lips are subject to exactly the same harmful effects as women's (with the exception of decorative cosmetics) and also need care.

Children's skin requires a special approach in the choice of cosmetic products. She is very delicate and vulnerable, so adult products are not suitable for her. Hygienic lipstick for children should be hypoallergenic, without fragrances, silicones and parabens. You should also exclude products with minerals, potent components and preservatives in the composition.

Cases of children's lipsticks correspond to the interests of the target audience. Often they depict favorite cartoon characters, bright pictures. Lipstick manufacturers also care about taste, releasing products with fruit and candy flavors, and sweeteners. Food flavorings are not dangerous, but for children it is better to choose a colorless version.

The composition of hygienic lipstick provides its medicinal and cosmetic properties. The basic components are:

• Beeswax. This is a natural base for the manufacture of lipsticks, which gives density, hardness, the ability to retain shape after hardening. Upon contact with the skin, the wax heats up easily, becomes soft, due to which the product is easily applied to the lips.
• Vegetable oils. As part of hygienic lipsticks and lip balms, oils rich in components that provide nutrition, softening and moisturizing are used.
• Extracts of medicinal plants - auxiliary components that enhance the effect of oils. Aloe vera has an antiseptic effect, softens and heals, calendula relieves inflammation, chamomile protects against the aggressive effects of frost and wind.
• vitamins. Retinol, tocopherol, ascorbic acid - the key to the beauty and youth of the skin of the lips.Vitamins of group B stimulate the production of collagen, deeply nourish and saturate with moisture;
• Fatty acid. Provide velvety and softness of the skin, slow down the aging process:
• Thermal water. Thermal hygienic lipstick protects and "overhauls" the skin, relieves irritation, gives a feeling of comfort and moisture.
