Health Effects of Cosmetics

  1. Most cosmetic products have chemicals that are harmful to the body when used excessively or over a long period of time.

  2. Prolonged use of hair products may lead to hair loss, itching, dandruff and thinning of hair.

  3. Heavy eye makeup may lead to eye infections.

  4. Extensive application of nail polish makes nails fragile, thin and they lose their natural colour.

  5. Some cosmetics can cause cracks and wrinkles on the skin, which cause infections.

  6. Lipstick dries the moisture out of the lips. Some lipsticks contain oils and chemicals that can damage the lips.

  7. Cosmetics such as deodorants and antiperspirants can cause redness, irritation and itching.

  8. Prolonged use of make ups may lead to dizziness, fatigue and contribute to ageing of the skin. These substances dry out natural oils, vitamins and minerals in the human skin causing the skin to lose its moisture and texture. Skin develops wrinkles and dry patches.
