So, what is generally used to refill liquid foundation? Will liquid foundation oxidize and deteriorate after refilling? For this, you can read the detailed introduction provided by this website.

Will liquid foundation go bad if it is stored in a refill bottle?

Repackaging foundation into bottles can reduce the oxidation of liquid foundation. The original liquid foundation is used up slowly and needs to be opened every time it is used. Each time it is opened, it will oxidize once. If the liquid foundation is repacked, the unused liquid foundation can be sealed and stored to reduce oxidation.

The repackaging of liquid foundation is actually risky, and there are strict requirements on the hygiene of the repackaging container and the operation of the repackaging process.

What to use to pack liquid foundation

Step 1: Open the cosmetics, open the sub-bottle, and pour the cosmetics into the sub-bottle

Step 2: If the tube mouth is small and it is not easy to pour in, the bottle set usually comes with a funnel, which can be used to slowly pour in.

Step 3: Cosmetics should be poured into the sub-bottles according to their categories. For example, toner or spray should be poured into the spray sub-bottle, lotion or essence should be poured into the wide-mouth sub-bottle, shower gel and lotion should be poured into the duckbill press bottle, cream, makeup remover and other pastes should be poured into the round bottle of cream. The cream sub-bottle usually has a small spoon, which can be used to shovel the cream into the sub-bottle little by little.

Step 4: If you can't tell what to pour into what, you often buy a set of sub-bottles with oil labels on them.

How to clean the dispensing bottle for the first time

I believe that many girls will rinse the refilling bottles with clean water, wipe the bottle dry, and then start to add cosmetics into the bottles. They always fill them up to 70% or 80%, fearing that they will not be enough outside. In fact, this practice can easily turn your refilling bottles into a playground for bacteria, because simply treating the refilling bottles with clean water and then sealing and filling the cosmetics can easily cause a large number of bacteria to multiply and breed. And if there happen to be pathogenic bacteria, it is easy to cause local infection when you have acne or small scratches on your skin.

The operation method is very simple. Ladies only need to prepare warm water (remember not too hot, because most of the sub-bottles are made of plastic) and a hair dryer. First, quickly and repeatedly rinse the sub-bottle with warm water. After about 10-15 times, take out the hair dryer, adjust it to the cold wind mode and start to blow hard on the inner wall of the sub-bottle (don't turn on the hot wind, you know about plastic). The wind can be strong, so that the wind and water flow speed can create a sterile environment in the bottle as much as possible.

How to disinfect newly purchased refill bottles

Basically, they are clean, so there is no problem. If you insist that it is dirty or has been opened, you can ask the clerk to give you a brand new one. After all, if the clerk sees that the packaged product has been opened, in theory, the customer is required to pay for it (especially cosmetics). However, most domestic consumers have the mentality of opening the package to see if they buy defective products; and the mentality of "I have never seen it before, so I open it to see what it is."

Indeed, many things have such hidden dangers, so if it is not a completely sealed product, it is recommended that you go home and wipe it with clean water or alcohol before using it. PP refill bottles and other PP portable small boxes are recommended to be processed before use. Do not immerse them directly in boiling water.
