Women buying lipstick to test lead content can use rings wisely

　　When women buy lipstick, they often only focus on its color and try it on the back of their hands to see how it blends with their own skin tone.
 
Lead is an element that can enhance the gloss effect. Therefore, most lipsticks and cosmetics contain lead, but the content ratio is different. It is impossible for customers to identify its content with the naked eye.
 
Lead will affect the central nervous system nerve , kidneys, etc., and there is no safety line for lead content, that is, any level of lead content is harmful to the human body. Continuous intake of lead accumulates in the body over time and does not break down.
 
When purchasing lipstick, there is a simple and easy way to identify it, which is to use a platinum ring to test the color. The method is: first apply the lipstick on the back of your hand, and then use your own platinum ring to wipe it back and forth on the lipstick. While wiping, watch the color change of the lipstick on the ring.
 
Since platinum is very sensitive to metal elements in lipstick, if the color of the lipstick stained on the ring turns black, it means it contains lead. The heavier the black, the higher the lead content, so be careful when purchasing.
 
If you don’t have a ring, you can also use necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc., as long as it is white gold jewelry. And the higher the purity of the platinum, the better the test results will be.
 
There is no need to worry about the lead contained in lipstick that will damage your platinum jewelry. If the "poisonous" lipstick is stained, wipe it with a tissue and wash it with water.
 
In addition to testing the "toxicity" when buying lipstick, you should also pay attention when using it. It is best to replace it every three months, and try to use up opened cosmetics within 3 to 6 months. Before applying lipstick, apply a thin layer of lip balm on your lips. When eating, wipe off the lipstick on your lips with water or a napkin.
