Cosmetics
have become a necessity for our women and even some men. A particular budget is
assigned monthly to these needs. Every
producers tends to produce the best or finest product but the truth be told
that it is quite difficult to make a product beneficial to its customers
without considering its profit. Quality hence, is compromised most times
and as a result giving birth to some chronic diseases or illness. Don’t get me
wrong, these cosmetics actually serve its purpose but do have harmful effects
alongside. As discussed in my previous article, I shall shed more light on the
harmful effects.
DAMAGE TO NAILS
Regular nail
polishing, painting, manicure and pedicure though very hygienic but are
damaging to the nails. The nails become fragile and the quality reduces. Extra
care needs to be taken when trying to keep long nails. The nail natural colour starts looking pale and thin.
DAMAGE TO EYES
Ladies are
quite familiar with eye shadow, mascara, kajal and other forms of eye makeup which
can harm the eyes badly. Ladies who wear
lenses may harm their eyes and could result to eye infections and thinning of
eyelashes. Mascara could cause
blindness because it contains pseudomonas aeruginosa which is a harmful bacteria.
HAIR PROBLEMS
Lots of
compliments are usually attached to the style, color of the hair but the
effects of the use of shampoos, hair colors, conditioners, gels and serums may
be harmful to your tresses. These cosmetics affect the hair quality and
quantity. Common signs include thinning
of hair, hair fall, redness in scalp or even excessive dandruff. Long term use of hair sprays could result to
skin damage and permanent discoloration of the hair colour.
DAMAGE TO SEX ORGANS
Research has
proved that cosmetic containing asbestos like talcum powder when in direct contact with organs can even affect
the menstrual cycle leading to other imbalances. Shower creams and gels during
bath may prove to be harmful. We definitely feel they did the cleaning but
once they get inside, they affect the private severely. There could be vaginal infections, danger to the prostate or ovary if
the cosmetics are of low quality and flawed.
CANCER AND OTHER CHRONIC DISEASES
Cosmetics
have been known to cause lots of chronic diseases such as cancer and many
others. Many cosmetics products contain chemicals like zinc oxide, barium
sulphate, BHA etc are very harmful for the body and may result in organ
failures like the liver and kidney. Lipstick
contains aluminium which may cause long term anaemia and even glucose intolerance.
Advise to guys and ladies who love kissing. If lipstick is swallowed mistakenly
or goes in with the food, it could result to respiratory diseases. Research has also shown that cosmetics like
body moisturisers can cause trouble to endocrine system and also disturb the
thyroid content of the body.
