Can lipstick still be used if it leaks water? Can lipstick still be used if it leaks water?

Lipstick is the most common cosmetic. Its use is very important. Lipstick is applied directly on the lips and you may ingest it when you drink water or eat food. Therefore, the quality and safety of lipstick is very important.

If the expiration date has not expired, you can continue to use it, but it is not recommended to continue using it. Because lipstick contains a large proportion of wax, oil and other substances, the release of water means that these substances have melted due to heat, and continuing to use it may have certain adverse effects.

It depends on the water conditions and the state in which the lipstick falls. If it falls into ordinary water, it can be used, but this water is limited to clean tap water. If it falls into water with detergent or other substances, it is recommended not to use it. If it just falls into the water, it can be wiped dry or dried before use. Lipstick belongs to lipids, and water and lipids are incompatible, but if it is other substances, it is not necessarily the case. If it is a liquid lipstick, the changes after falling into the water will be different, just like lip gloss. Lip gloss will be diluted when it encounters water. The first thing to be diluted is the color, and then its texture and touch on the mouth will be different. Moreover, liquid lipstick is different from paste lipstick. Paste lipstick contains Vaseline and wax, but liquid lipstick is soluble in water. If it falls into the water in the open state, then this lipstick is almost wasted. If a paste lipstick falls into the water with its mouth open, you can turn it upside down and use your mouth to blow off the water attached to the lipstick. Remember not to use a hair dryer, because the paste lipstick may melt when preheated. The wind force of the hair dryer is very strong, which may first melt it due to the heat, and secondly, break it. You can only put it in a cool and ventilated place and let it dry naturally. Even if the paste lipstick is dried, it is very likely to deteriorate because it has been in contact with water and air. Therefore, after drying, scrape off the discolored part with a knife or cotton swab. If only a small part has changed color, scrape it off, otherwise the remaining lipstick will be contaminated.

1. Lipstick contains a lot of moisturizing ingredients, including a lot of oily ingredients. When the temperature is high, the oil in the lipstick will seep out of the surface of the paste; when the temperature drops, the oil will return to the paste and leave traces on the surface of the paste, commonly known as "sweating" or "hanging beads".

2. Storing and using lipstick at room temperature can effectively reduce the occurrence of this situation. If the lipstick has the phenomenon of "beading", consumers do not need to worry, because this is a normal physical phenomenon and will not affect the quality and effect of the lipstick.

If your moisturizing lipstick becomes dry, you can use a hair dryer at home to heat it, but the temperature should not be too high, just soften it slightly, and it will become moisturizing. If your lipstick is matte or other dry texture, you can only use lip balm as a base to make it more moisturizing, and drink more water before applying it.
