Lipstick has become a common cosmetic for modern women in China. Applying a proper layer of lipstick to your lips can make people look particularly charming. However, regular use of lipstick in large quantities will do harm to health.
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 enter the body with food inadvertently. 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. Therefore, lipstick is actually a complex chemical substance, and hidden dangers that people do not pay attention to are hidden behind the bright colors.
Although all kinds of lipsticks on the market must be tested in advance, there is still the danger of allergic reaction to users because of different colors, different base materials and different constitutions. Lip allergy caused by lipstick is a serious and common problem. About 10% of women will have chapped lips, burning, swelling, itching, peeling and slight pain after using it.
The relevant state departments have stipulated the limit of lead, mercury and other toxic substances in lipstick, but this does not mean that lipstick does not contain these ingredients. In addition, it is polluted to varying degrees in the process of production, sale and use. Even if the content of harmful substances is small, it will accumulate after long-term use, causing harm to the body, and some people will be poisoned and even lead to cancer. It should be noted that some inferior lipsticks produced by underground factories are likely to contain a lot of heavy metals (such as lead), making them bright and not easy to fall off. If you often swallow these "heavy metal lipsticks" into your stomach, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.
Therefore, the majority of women in lip beauty, in addition to lipstick should not be applied too much, do not often use continuously, but also pay attention to learning and using knowledge. First of all, allergic women should use lipstick with caution, and severe cases need to go to the hospital in time. 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 no adverse reactions. On the contrary, don't change the brand that suits you at will. If you change other brands or batches of lipsticks, you must try them first, and never use expired or "three noes" products. In addition, lipstick should be for your own use and cannot be shared with others to avoid infection through skin and saliva. Usually, before eating, the lipstick should be wiped clean, and the makeup should be light, not thick. Before going to bed, the makeup must be completely removed and cleaned. In a word, modern women can take good care of their health while being beautiful, which can bring more happiness to life.
