What to do if lipstick melts in summer

Lipstick is a must-have item for women. Lipstick is divided into colored and colorless. Some people choose colored lipstick to brighten their lips and keep them moisturized. However, many women will encounter the phenomenon of lipstick melting when exposed to heat, especially in summer. When the weather is hot, the lipstick will melt more severely after just a few uses, and it will be consumed very quickly. Sometimes it is also troublesome to apply. So what should we do?

1. Do you know how to store lipstick in summer?

1. Store in a cool place

Generally, the temperature is higher in summer and the air humidity is higher. Lipstick may have some moisture problems, or the high temperature may cause some deterioration, etc. Therefore, lipstick should generally be stored in a cool place. When you go out in the summer, you can bring less lipstick with you. You can usually just leave it at home or at work, because there is air conditioning indoors so you don't have to worry about the temperature being too high. Also, don't place it where it is easily exposed to the sun.

2. Refrigeration is also possible

How to store lipstick in summer without melting

Many people say that lipstick cannot be put in the refrigerator, saying that the temperature in the refrigerator is too low, and taking it out may easily change the ingredients. However, lipsticks that are not often used can be placed in the refrigerator. Because they are not used for a long time, they are generally not taken out. You can wait until the temperature is lower in autumn before taking them out and using them. The temperature in the refrigerator is not too low, so it doesn’t matter.

3. Generally no deterioration

We have mentioned many ways to preserve lipstick above, but in fact, lipstick is not that easy to deteriorate. Generally, lipstick can "withstand" normal temperatures throughout the year. Therefore, generally no special measures are taken to prevent deterioration. It is rare for lipstick to deteriorate unless it is expired. Many people say that their lipstick will produce water beads, but in fact this situation rarely happens. So don’t worry about your lipstick in summer!

2. Will lipstick melt in summer? It is possible.

In summer, lipstick may melt a little. This is because the temperature is often higher in summer, and the main ingredients of lipstick are wax, oil, softener, etc., so lipstick is prone to melting. However, lipsticks generally undergo high-temperature testing, which means that as long as the temperature is not too high or the lipstick is not directly placed in the sun, there will generally be no obvious melting.

3. What should I do if my lipstick melts in summer?

1. You can remove the melted part and continue to use the remaining part.

2. You can put the melted part into a lipstick tube and then put it in the refrigerator to freeze.

3. If you don’t want to use the above two methods, you can throw it away and buy another one.

4. Melting lipstick can be so useful

1. Use as crayons or paints.

The simplest way to use it is to treat lipstick as a crayon or paint. If you have children at home, you can just throw it to them. They will definitely be very happy. However, if the child is a girl, the mother must pay close attention to her to prevent her from secretly applying it on her lips.

Lipstick can be used as a crayon, and the color is also very good. It can be used directly and simply whether it is drawn on a postcard or paper. You can try it on the coloring book "Secret Garden" which has recently become popular all over the world!

2. Polish your silver.

Silver plates or spoons will develop black rust spots if not taken care of for a period of time, or silver jewelry will become darker and darker after being worn for a period of time. Lipstick is the only thing that can make them bright again!

Simply apply a thin layer of lipstick onto tissue paper and wipe the silver with it to remove the black rust. Then just wash it gently with a sponge soaked in dishwashing liquid and it will be as shiny as new!

3. Stain remover for oil-based pens.

Are you worried about your children's graffiti or the stains from oily pens accidentally? In fact, lipstick can also be used to remove stains from oily pens.

Apply lipstick directly to the area where the oil pen is stained, and use your fingertips to carefully spread the lipstick evenly. After spreading it evenly, wipe it with tissue paper to remove the stains of the oil pen.

4. Colorants for handmade candles.

When making handmade candles, add lipstick and melt it together. The original candle with lipstick color will appear, and the color is also beautiful!

In fact, lipstick also has a shelf life. Unopened lipstick can be kept for three years, but if it has come into contact with the lips, it is best to use it up within three months.

Continuously using deteriorated old lipstick can cause problems such as pigmentation, fine lines and rashes, so it is not recommended. If you have a long-dusted lipstick, please try the above recycling method!
