spend monthly on these and the amount of variety is so high
that cosmetics are available for different seasons and
climates as well. The makers claim to have their own RnD
and make one of the finest products for us. We all know that
it is very difficult these days for someone to just make a
product beneficial for its customers; he ought to make a
huge profit out of it. Quality is compromised most of the
times and generally a common man is unable to raise the
voice or submit complain on which action would be taken.
Many times it happens that the ingredients mentioned are
not true and that affects us. So there is an ugly side to these
beauty products as well. I don’t mean to say that they don’t
work; they do work but have harmful effects also along with.
There are many harmful effects of using cosmetics; here I
have listed the top ten of them.
10) UNWANTED DEPENDENCY ON COSMETICS
The common notion among people is that they cannot look
beautiful or handsome if they missed out on a cosmetic or
just ran out of it. This dependency can lead too many
troubles and is nothing less than an addiction for them.
From my personal experience I would like to add that here
are people who can skip occasions or get-togethers if there
cosmetics are not with them or if they can’t do make up.
Well with god’s grace everyone has been given with a good
face and I can’t find myself a reason to be so dependent on
cosmetics. Believe me you can look even better without
them.
9) HEADACHES
Headache is a very common issue after putting up make up
for long periods of time. Generally ladies feel dizziness, tired
and nausea after prolonged exposures to high makeup.
Even men must have felt that during the long wait for
performance in annual function with full make up. even if
the performance was not so tiring but you would feel sleepy
and dizzy, its the effect of makeup. A lot of care is therefore
taken while removing of makeup. Absolutely nothing should
be left behind. It has been found that cosmetics contain
certain ingredients which on exposure to humans directly in
large amount may lead to a state of unconsciousness. So
wear makeup, but make sure its not for just too long and if
you have to spend a large amount of time then prefer light
makeup to avoid headaches.
8) HAIR PROBLEMS
Funky hairstyles are very popular and eye catching. Today’s
youth and children find it very cool and thus make a move
for them. Use of shampoos, conditioners, hair colors, gels
and serums may actually harm your tresses pretty badly.
They look great when used and one may receive many
compliments for the style or even help you get a girl but
these cosmetics keep on affecting the hair quality and
quantity. There can be thinning of hair, redness in scalp, hair
fall or even excessive dandruff. The use of hair sprays is
even more dangerous with sources suggesting that long
term usage may result in scalp skin damage and permanent
discoloration of hair color.
7) DANGER TO REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS
Use of bubble baths or certain oils may affect your
reproductive organs if in direct contact. They can even lead
to infertility. It has been found that any cosmetic containing
asbestos like talcum powder when in direct contact with
organs can even affect the menstrual cycle leading to other
imbalances. Shower gels and shower creams during bath
may also prove to be harmful. We will definitely feel that
they did the cleaning but once after getting inside they may
affect severely. There can be vaginal infections or even
danger or prostate and ovarian cancer if the cosmetics are
flawed and low on quality.
6) AGEING
Yes one may start looking older than heshe actually is. All
the makeup and moisturizers actually do some damage to
your skin and with prolonged use wrinkles and other signs
of ageing may be visible. The cosmetic makers are so smart
that they then release anti- ageing creams and lotions. These
cosmetics then fight the signs of ageing. They are making
money and it is us who have to suffer. Be careful while
choosing your products and make sure if their reviews are
correct and genuine because not all products in market may
be harmful.
5) CANCER AND OTHER CHRONIC DISEASES
With the benefits, cosmetics also bring danger of diseases
like cancer and many other chronic ones. Lipstick contains
aluminum which may cause long term anemia and even
glucose intolerance. Many products contain chemicals like
zinc oxide, BHA, barium sulphate etc. are very harmful for
body and may result in many organ failures like that of
kidney and liver. Further if swallowed even by mistake;
generally the lip cares, lip balms and lipsticks go in with food
can lead to many respiratory diseases also. It has also been
reported that cosmetics like body moisturizers can cause
trouble to endocrine system as well and disturb the thyroid
content of body.
4) DAMAGE TO NAILS
Nail paints, Nail polish, manicures and pedicures all seem
very hygienic but are actually damaging to nails if done very
regularly or frequently. The quality of nails decreases and
they become fragile. Keeping long nails becomes a big issue
after that; extra care has to be taken. The nails become thin
and lose their natural color starting to look pale.
3) HARMFUL FOR EYES
Eye shadow, mascara, kajal and other forms of eye makeup
can harm the eyes of user very badly. Girls who wear lenses
may harm their eyes even more because the chemicals
present affects the lens material and can result in something
very damaging like thinning of eyelashes and eye infections.
Mascara can cause blindness as it contains pseudomonas
aeruginosa which is a very harmful therapy bacteria.
Resistant to heat and cold this bacteria is very difficult to
remove from mascara and often pollutes it despite many
precautionary measures.
2) ALLERGIES
There are different types of allergies possible with excessive
use of cosmetics and at times there side effects even if the
usage is limited. The allergies can be of skin, breathing,
eating, hair etc. Skin allergies may be allergy to certain kind
of lotions or creams. Breathing allergies are damage to nose
and nasal passage due to intake of cosmetics by mistake or
even deliberate. Eating difficulties as it may result in glucose
intolerance as mentioned earlier as well. Hair allergies are
like allergy to usage of shampoos or conditioners or
intolerance of scalp to certain oil. So with the benefits of
cosmetics comes a parcel of never ending list of allergies
you are at risk of. Be careful while choosing your products.
1) SKIN DISEASES AND REACTIONS
Skin diseases and reactions have been a common problem
with use of fairness creams, sunscreens and sunblocks.
There may be a permanent discoloration of skin or severe
damage to skin. Believe me a damage to skin especially on
face may be very torturing. every now and then a person
from the crowd may pop up and ask what happened or
would have loads of advice to give you because his relative
had the same problem. There can be much severe issues
with the skin like skin cancer, presently skin cancer is not
that easily treatable at mostly fatal.
No use make up again O I no you wount hear
