Question: How cosmetic products Affect your body?

Dr Fazeela: “The hair dyes even the moisturizers or anything which you applied over your body they get absorb in your body and blood. I believe in in-organic products which contains minimal preservatives because it all enters into the body. So that it is a very good question one has to be very careful regarding all sort of organic oils, essential oils. You can use dry oils and try to use them as much as you can instead of putting the artificial creams and the lotions on your body. Yes, you can use (lotions, creams) if required, but if you have to focus on body moisturizing then try to focus on essential oils. You should also make sure that the shampoos which you are using must be sulphate free because sulphate is a breakdown of protein and hair is all about proteins.

1. Lung Cancer

Chemicals present in cosmetics, if inhaled, can damage lung tissues. The chemical ingredients in makeup products cause allergies and infections of the lungs.

2. Skin Cancer

Excessive cosmetic use can lead to skin cancer. Skincare products contain harmful chemicals, including formaldehyde, which increases cancer risk. In addition, parabens, a preservative used in makeup products, is considered one of the primary causes of cancer.

3. Permanent Dark Circles

Experts suggest less use of cosmetics around the eyes. The skin around the eyes is susceptible. It usually shows the effect of chemicals earlier. Cosmetic products are one of the primary causes of dark circles and bags under the eyes. Dark circles can lead to permanent marks under the eyes. People apply more makeup to hide them, which ultimately worsens the condition

4. Clogging of Pores

Some makeup products might help even out your skin’s tone and make it smooth. They work by smoothening your pores and natural blemishes. As a result, your skin does not get enough oxygen, leading to the occurrence of several skin conditions. Excessive use of cosmetics can cause acne. Specialists recommend avoiding oil-based cosmetics. They advise using non-acnegenic makeup that won’t clog your pores.

5. Aging of Your Skin

Makeup products are considered a vital factor that causes the skin’s aging. Excessive use of these products can make your skin look older. Cosmetic products contribute to the development of wrinkles and dry patches. Chemicals used in cosmetics dry out the natural oils and essential vitamins and minerals in your skin. It leads to the loss of natural moisture and texture of your skin.

6. Lead Poisoning

Some lipsticks contain lead and mineral oil that can damage your lips. The mineral oil forms a nonporous shine on the lips. Lead content present in lipstick is safe. But it may have some long-term side effects for the women who apply lipstick many times a day. Lead ingestion may cause:

Brain damage

Behavior abnormalities

Poor muscle coordination

Hearing and vision impairment

Increased blood pressure

7. Skin Allergies

Some makeup products contain alcohol that causes redness, irritation, and itching. It may also lead to pigmentation of the skin. The cosmetics that do not suit your skin type can affect your skin adversely. Some skin types are allergic to fairness creams or sunscreens, which ultimately leads to permanent discoloration.
