The harm of long-term use of lipstick

Lipstick is not only a woman's favorite but also a necessity in women's lives. Almost every woman has at least one lipstick that she likes. However, long-term use of lipstick can also cause great harm to our bodies, especially dark-colored lipsticks that contain very high levels of pigments. Some flavored lipsticks will have a greater impact on our bodies, and the carcinogenicity rate of lipstick is also very high.

1. Sweet-smelling lipsticks contain saccharin, which has been proven to cause cancer if used excessively.

2. Artificial pigments in lipstick may turn into mutagens and induce cancer under ultraviolet light.

3. Preservatives and antioxidants BHA. These substances have been proven to be quasi-carcinogens. For example, preservatives (paraben) can cause breast tumors.

4. The main ingredients of lipstick are lanolin, wax and dyes. Due to the complex composition of lanolin, it can easily cause allergic reactions, such as chapped and peeling lip mucosa, and sometimes itchy or slight pain in the lips.

5. The lanolin in lipstick has strong adsorption capacity and can adsorb dust, bacteria, viruses and some heavy metal ions in the air onto the lip mucosa. When people drink water or eat food, they can bring lipstick and the harmful substances on it into their mouths, allowing them to directly enter the body and affect health.

6. The coal tar dyes used in all lipsticks are terrible carcinogens, and the amount of this substance contained in lipsticks has far exceeded the amount allowed in food. After applying lipstick, it is inevitable that you will inadvertently lick the lipstick off and enter your body while drinking tea, eating, or talking. Then these carcinogens will naturally enter your body and affect your health.

7. According to relevant foreign data, among young female cancer patients, 18.2% of the causes are related to lipstick application. Lipstick contains high amounts of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. Lead is cumulative. Long-term inhalation into the human body can lead to chronic lead poisoning, causing anemia, abdominal pain, acute gastric failure, and cerebral neuropathy.

1. Avoid wearing lipstick for a long time

Makeup should definitely be light rather than heavy. Even if it is light makeup, do not wear lipstick for a long time. Although lipstick can make your lips look moist in the short term, long-term use will cause the lip skin to become dry, chapped, swollen, and itchy... If these conditions have already occurred, using a lip balm containing honey to care for them is a good way.

2. Be sure to remove your makeup thoroughly before going to bed

The skin around the lips and eyes is very fragile and easily becomes allergic due to irritation. In addition, lipstick, like eye shadow, is a cosmetic with the most pigments and must be cleaned with a special makeup remover with relatively strong cleaning power. Otherwise, it will cause the deposition of harmful substances such as lanolin, causing lip lines and darkening of lip color. After removing makeup, you should use lip balm to protect your lips for about 10 minutes.

3. Don’t apply directly on your lips

It is best to apply a layer of colorless lip balm on your lips before using lipstick to ensure that your lips are fully moisturized before using lipstick. This can not only make the lips shiny, but also reduce the adverse stimulation of lipstick to the lips.

There’s nothing wrong with loving to wear lipstick, but you need a tube of safe and healthy lip balm to help you minimize the damage caused by lipstick.

4: Wipe off lipstick before drinking water or eating

Wipe off the lipstick on your lips before drinking water or eating to avoid ingesting the lipstick along with the food.

1. You can save the trouble of applying lipstick every day. Your lips will still be rosy and beautiful no matter after meals or swimming.

2. You no longer have to suffer from the poison of lipstick and avoid the side effects it brings to your body.

3. Professional tattoo artists can outline the lip shape that best suits your face shape and temperament, making your facial features more delicate and adding infinite charm to you
