Most makeup products and cosmetics are terribly harsh on your skin and numerous studies report that they are carcinogenic. Moreover, cosmetics and makeup can inhibit your skin from breathing and can harbour bacteria and help external impurities causing skin problems.
Here’s a list of makeup products if used excessively can harm more than healing.
Lipstick
We can believe to think of anyone who doesn’t wear a lipstick. However, this little colour filled stick that does wonders to your lips can actually be harmful. In fact, if your lipstick has lead present, it can pose adverse effects on your health. Excess of lead affects the brain and heart and causes blood tissues to soften which creates hypertension.
Kajal
Most doctors recommend not to use Kohl sticks on your eyes. When Kajal enters your eyeballs, it can cause irritation and in most case eye infection. It also contains carbon that causes organ toxicity.
Nail polish
We all love decorating our nails with all kinds of colours as with last trends on the go, nail arts are taking over like a storm. However while we may think that nail polishes are a major work necessity, science says differently. Dark coloured nail paints like red and black are in fact, harmful if used in large amounts. These dark colours can make your nails yellow if not removed properly due to the acetone content present. Due to this, the harmful chemical can damage the mail strength.
Foundation
Before buying a foundation, it is important that you read the ingredients first. In most products, there is a chemical called Octinoxate which is an unstable compound. If your foundation has this chemical it is possible that your body is feeding on harmful food that has the ability to disrupt your endocrine system and cause thyroid disorder.
Deodorant
Phthalates present in deodorant can disrupt the endocrine system too. They can cause developmental, reproductive, and neurological damage in the body. It is important to check every product that you buy. In fact, these days many brands are leaning towards manufacturing organic makeup products that do not contain any toxic chemicals. Opt for something light that will stay and not damage your skin texture.
