Lipstick is mainly composed of lanolin, wax and dye. Lanolin and wax have strong adsorption, which can adsorb harmful substances such as dust, viruses and bacteria in the air on the oral mucosa and inadvertently enter the body with food. Most of the dyes commonly used in lipstick are non-edible pigments that are harmful to human body. Experts have confirmed through experiments that some inferior dyes also contain carcinogenic chemicals. From this point of view, lipstick is actually a complex chemical substance, and hidden dangers that people do not pay attention to are hidden behind bright colors.
At present, all kinds of lipsticks on the market contain harmful substances with different components, such as heavy metals such as lead and mercury. Although the state has regulations on the content of lipstick, long-term use of lipstick with excessive heavy metal content will also accumulate and cause harm to the human body. Some people will have allergic and toxic reactions, such as chapped lips, burning, swelling, itching, exfoliation of epidermis and mild pain. In severe cases, it can lead to cancer. It should be noted that some inferior lipsticks produced by underground factories are likely to contain a lot of heavy metals to keep their bright colors. If you often swallow these "heavy metal lipsticks" into your stomach, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, when using lipstick and other products, women should pay attention to learning how to use it, except that lipstick cannot be applied too much and cannot be used continuously. First of all, women with allergies should use lipstick with caution. Secondly, it is best to choose a brand-name product with safety guarantee, try it on the lower lip for one day first, and then continue to use it after observing no adverse reactions. Never use lipstick with expired or "three noes" products. In addition, in order to avoid excessive intake of "heavy metals", lipstick should be wiped clean before eating.
Make-up: Visible beauty, invisible harm Make-up is different from ordinary skin care products. If used improperly or frequently, it will also cause harm to the skin. So what problems should we pay attention to?
Foundation is a "sharp weapon" to cover up defects, but it is also one of the culprits leading to pore blockage. Compared with other skin care products, the matrix particles of foundation formula are large and greasy, which is easy to cause pore blockage and acne. Therefore, when purchasing, try to choose products with "acne-free formula". Other oil-free and oil-controlled foundations will be better.
Blush may cause skin allergies. People with bad skin color usually like to use a little blush, which can not only change your face shape, improve your skin color, but even enhance your temperament. However, you may not have thought that while beautifying yourself, you also exposed your skin to unsafe colorants. Because the content of pigment, perfume and preservative in blush is quite high, they are the chief culprit of skin allergy. Therefore, excessive and repeated use should be avoided as much as possible during use.
Many ophthalmologists have given a serious warning: Don't draw eyeliner within the root of eyelashes and too close to the eyeball, otherwise your eyes may be injured by accident, and the tools for drawing eyeliner may be infected by inadvertently touching the eyeball, so pay special attention when drawing eyeliner.
In addition, there are cosmetics such as lip gloss, eye shadow and pearl powder, and their main components are also chemicals. In addition to choosing a more assured brand when buying, you should also have a general understanding of the ingredients of cosmetics. Be wary of photosensitive substances in cosmetics, because it will cause skin inflammation under sunlight. Understand the content of heavy metals such as lead, chromium, molybdenum and cadmium in cosmetics, because if products with excessive heavy metal content are often used, heavy metals can easily accumulate in the body and cause poisoning.
Make-up is mainly used for beauty, and there are few nursing ingredients, so it is impossible to 100% avoid injury. Therefore, make up as little as possible, and remove makeup thoroughly before going to bed at night to reduce the damage to the skin.
The harm that dyeing hair does to you can't be ignored. Nowadays, dyeing hair is very popular. Walking in the street, you will find that many people have dyed their hair, black, yellow, brown, maroon, and even red and green. People can change the color of their hair according to their mood, and fully display their personality with clothing and makeup. Hair dyeing is a manifestation of people's pursuit of beauty, but we can't ignore health while pursuing beauty. So how should we dye our hair scientifically?
The French magazine "60 million consumers" wrote that the properties of many ingredients in hair dyes have not been fully understood, and some ingredients may be harmful to health and even carcinogenic. Research by the American Cancer Society shows that women who use hair dyes may suffer from lymphoma. According to relevant data, the pass rate of hair dye sampling is 75%. Among them, the product quality problems found are: excessive oxidant, large pH deviation and so on. Therefore, when you dye your hair, you should carefully choose the hair dye, and it is best to do a test first. If the test process is neglected or the hair dye is improperly used, it will easily cause contact dermatitis, and local redness and swelling can be seen, sometimes making the hair dull and brittle, and the color turns brown and black and easy to fall off. People with allergies can also have allergies.
In addition, the chemical components in the hair dye will penetrate into the body through the scalp during the hair dyeing process, and long-term hair dyeing will increase the accumulation of these chemical components in the body. Although no research shows the harm of these ingredients, we should pay attention to it, care for the hair after dyeing, and try to reduce the number of dyeing. This is not only a kind of protection for hair, but also a kind of responsibility for your health.
Beware of perfume "killer"-perfume In daily life, many people (both men and women) like to wear perfume, thinking that perfume can add charm to themselves. Perfume manufacturers are also sparing no effort to advertise, so that all kinds of fragrances such as "the breath of spring", "the breeze of summer", "the water of the ocean" and "the fragrance of lemon" fill our lives.
In addition, our daily necessities, such as shampoo, cosmetics, baby skin care products, air fresheners, washing products, etc., also contain essence. However, few people will consider the safety of fragrances such as perfume, and few people will know that there are at least 5000 chemical components that make fragrances. Of these more than 5,000 chemical components, less than 20% have been tested for toxicity. Therefore, they are all toxic and classified as dangerous goods by many countries. Whether other untested ingredients are toxic or not is unknown. If more sophisticated instruments are used, more than 100 components in perfume can be detected indoors (the most commonly used chemical components in perfume are 150), and most of them are toxic.
The chemical components of these fragrances can be absorbed by the human body through the mouth, nose and skin. These components can reach all parts of the body through blood circulation. Sensitive people are prone to headache (especially migraine), sneezing, tears, dyspnea, dizziness, sore throat, chest tightness, hyperactivity (especially children) and other symptoms. Children in particular are more susceptible to fragrance than adults. Unfortunately, almost all baby products on the market have added essence. Parents often wear perfume, especially inferior perfume will pollute the air, leading to children's inattention, learning disabilities, excessive activity, and even severe convulsions and developmental retardation. Women's long-term use of perfume will make the chemical components of perfume accumulate in the body, which will damage the baby's health through breast milk during breastfeeding. These are all hazards recorded through medical observation, and some symptoms are hidden, which are even more harmful because they are not easy to detect. Therefore, the healthiest way is to try to avoid perfume and other daily necessities containing fragrance.
