Can makeup be applied on the day of the physical examination

It is generally not recommended to wear makeup on the day of the physical examination. The chemical components in cosmetics may interfere with the accuracy of some physical examination items. For example, liquid foundation and concealer may affect the results of skin examinations, eyeliner and eye black may interfere with eye examinations, and lipstick may interfere with oral examinations. The metal components in cosmetic products may also affect the imaging quality of imaging examinations. For examination items that require skin contact, such as electrocardiograms, ultrasound examinations, etc., cosmetics may cause poor contact between electrodes or probes. Some cosmetic spice ingredients may cause allergic reactions and interfere with allergen testing results. If makeup is necessary due to special reasons, it is recommended to use light makeup with simple ingredients and inform medical staff in advance. Before the examination, makeup remover can be carried and specific areas of makeup can be removed under the guidance of medical staff. After the inspection is completed, reapply makeup.

Before the physical examination, attention should be paid to keeping the face clean and avoiding the use of skincare products containing irritating ingredients such as alcohol and spices. It is recommended to wear loose clothing for easy examination and bring past physical examination reports for doctors' reference. On the morning of the physical examination, fasting for 8-12 hours is recommended, but moderate consumption of plain water is acceptable. After completing all the examination items, eat and apply makeup to ensure the accuracy of the examination results.
