when does your makeup become harmful

I am well aware that beauty products are an inevitable part of our lives. Whether you belong to the male gender or the female one. We both are fond of products those make us outshine more and look beautiful.

But, we are also aware that these products contain heavily loaded chemicals.

Approx 95% of the products that we use daily contain chemical compounds. They are definitely harmful to our skin and health.

Does this mean in-spite of knowing the pros and cons attached with these products? We still are acting blindfolded just to grace a short span of our lives at the cost of our health?

Here I am just trying to pen down 7 products those are at the extreme level of chemical content. Know how you can detect their impurity in the easiest way!

1. Cleaning Detergents and Soaps

Cleansing is a necessary part of our lives. We all want to stay fit and clean without letting the dirt settle on our body. To do that we obviously approach towards soaps those are anti-bacterial. They are too harsh for the skin.

To wash your hands, face and body off impurities. It is not necessary to use harsh soaps. You can even use mild organically made soaps. They contain natural ingredients those help to control your Ph balance.

Our body is created in such a way that it absorbs everything that we feed to it.

This makes us ensure that we consume the least of chemicals. A few those are used in these soaps.

They are sodium cocoyl isethionate, Stearic acid, and Benzoyl Peroxide. After a thorough study on soaps, I realized how much chemical our body takes and is reducing our skin oils.

Harsh soaps are easy to detect. When they make your skin dry, rough and causes inflammation. Understand it is time to change your bar.

2. Expired Makeup

Makeup and cautiousness attached to it

This is a big concern that women ignore most of the times. Since, the makeup that we use costs a good amount. We try to use it minimal so that it lasts long. Sorry to say this is a myth. The longer you keep your makeup after its expired date the more harmful it will get for you. The products already contain a huge dose of chemicals. Giving them a chance to react and create another deadly compound is your loss.

Make sure to keep a track of the expiry date.

-When your makeup color changes and smells different.

-When you have had an infection(skin or eye)

Avoid using makeup beyond that. Your health and life are more important than a few bucks.

3. Razors and Hair Removal Creams

A large section of women uses razor and hair removal creams for basic hygiene. It is much cheaper and easier to use. With no pain and time-saving features, women often use this form of hair removal. Even razors and creams have a limited time or survival. After a certain count of use, razors should be discarded. Using an old razor again and again and keeping it in an exposed area attracts germs. It can cause infections and even skin problems those can cause septic.

Same goes for the creams. Do not store them after their expiry date. They may cause skin allergies and irritation. Try picking mild creams those have more of natural ingredients. For razors try picking disposable ones those you can throw away after one use.
