Beauty is
an eternal part of us. Everyone longs to look beautiful and pretty.
But what do
you really know about your beauty products? Ourvanity Magazine found some remarkable answers and here they
are:
We all
know that make-up can significantly change our appearance, highlight the pretty
traits and hide those that we don’t want to be seen. However, make-up can be
potentially dangerous, since it is mostly made from chemicals.
So as you
can guess, there can be lots of make-up side effects from allergic reactions to
serious skin conditions. Do you know about the side effects some make-up
products can be responsible for?
Well, if
not, here is the list of possible make-up side effects, from not so serious conditions
to frightening severe cases.
Acne
Acne or
little blackheads that appear on the oily face can be also caused by several
ingredients used in make-up. Certain liquid or creamy make-up products clog the
pores and usually those products can’t be removed so easily. When pores are
clogged with make-up it attracts dirt and oil – this is what essentially a
blackhead. If not treated, the blackheads can become blemishes that are in fact
a bacterial infection. The best solution to this problem is to find make-up
products that can be easily washed away.
Allergic
reactions
Well,
allergic reactions are quite common types of make-up side effects. The
allergies can be seen through rashes, acne, dryness and itching of skin that
manifests itself right after the make-up is applied. The allergic reactions can
be identified by a doctor by going through a ‘patch test’. Best thing is to
avoid the products to which you are allergic.
Cancer
Cancer is
of course one of the severest side effects that can be caused by make-up. Even
though there is huge trend for using ‘natural’ make-up ingredients, not all of
them have been clinically tested. If you notice that the make-up products that
you use contain chemicals like amorphous hydrated silica this should be
alarming. This chemical is known to contain small amount of crystalline quartz
that has been linked to cancer.
