When women use cosmetics, chemicals enter the body through the skin and are absorbed by the body. In contrast, direct consumption of these chemicals may be less harmful to the human body.
If lipstick enters the mouth, its chemical components will be decomposed by enzymes in saliva and gastric juice. But if you put it in your mouth, the chemicals will enter the blood directly.
The appearance of some cancers may be related to people's extensive use of certain cosmetics. At the same time, some cosmetics may also cause irritation to the skin and even accelerate aging.

The Daily Mail reported that the dermatologist McLenna Alexis-Amen Necas of Yale University School of Medicine warned that using Halloween cosmetics may lead to acne and skin allergies, and may even lead to life-threatening chronic diseases, because they contain many cancer-related toxins.
Mclenna said that these cosmetics often have low quality and long storage period, and the content of preservatives such as parabens is higher than that of ordinary cosmetics.
She pointed out that Halloween cosmetics also contain phthalates, which can be detected in some people who need long-term makeup.
According to the website of the Breast Cancer Foundation, parabens are widely used for the preservation of beauty products. Phthalates exist in some plastics and beauty products, both of which are related to breast cancer, especially the latter will disturb the hormone secretion of human body, resulting in infertility and neonatal defects.
Mclenna also pointed out that dyes used in Halloween cosmetics, especially red and blue dyes, contain some substances that are easy to cause skin allergies and dermatitis.
However, McLennan suggested that iron fans still have some ways to reduce the harm of Halloween cosmetics, such as shortening the time of "makeup" on the skin as much as possible, not "makeup", completely removing makeup after the holiday, and never sleeping with makeup.
