If the liner makes you cry your eyes if you apply the base for the face will cause pimples and dyeing (coloring) you use to change the color of your hair will cause difficulty breathing, it could all be part of what same: a reaction to the chemicals in the products they are using. Do you have any other alternative?
As we all want to look good and maintain a youthful appearance, the cosmetic industry is brought to market products to improve and beautify every part of our body. There are products for every need, every taste and budget. But all include in their composition a list of ingredients (usually long), from common to rare long names and they are only known to chemical engineers.
They are not only women who wear them, men have joined the list of consumers of beauty products. With the increased use of cosmetics, also increases the number of unwanted reactions caused by the chemicals included in the formulation of these products. Among those who are advised to avoid formaldehyde and keratin present in hair straightening products, hydroquinone, used under medical supervision to resolve problems with the color of the skin, the phthalates are sometimes found in some products such as shampoos and soaps, and parabens present in some deodorants and antiperspirants.
Due to the risk of developing these reactions, new options have emerged, and in recent years have increased the market for cosmetics and personal care products that are known as ecological and / or natural contain no toxic components.
And you, what kind of products are you using? Have you ever had a reaction that did not expect, that instead of embellecerte has worsened to your appearance and your health?
If you have passed or want to be prevented (a), there are several things you can do. One is to verify that the product label includes the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI, its acronym in English), under which manufacturers are required to describe in detail the name of the components used to make them. This way you ensure that you are choosing something of good quality before choosing what to buy.
Another option is to seek a more natural alternative. For example, to avoid using products with keratin hair straightening, which can cause skin reactions and asthma, you can get natural heat ironing. This option provides a less durable and will be repeated more often, but is healthier.
Another danger is also associated with products used for hair has to do with the dyes (dyes). Some studies suggest that the continued use of dark dyes may increase the risk of developing leukemia or lymphoma, especially among women, but other studies say otherwise. Neither has found definitive evidence that the dyes are related to breast cancer. When in doubt, a safer option is to use products made from vegetable dyes. Its effect may last less and not be as intense as with the others, but avoiding unnecessary risks.
Tanning beds, on the other hand, represent a danger to the health of your skin and they emit the same harmful rays of the sun and so increase the chances of developing skin cancer. Alternatively you can use some self-tanning creams that make your skin to color without sun exposure. And when you’re sunbathing or outdoor, remember that you should apply sunscreen, even if you are using a self-tanning product, because they do not protect you from UV rays.
Also check the labels before buying cosmetics, there are other steps you can take to prevent the products you use every day you get hurt:
- Check from time to time the expiration date of the products you have in the toilet. Discard them if they are not in force. In general, run times are: for powders and eye shadows, two years for lipsticks, one year, and mascara, three or four months.
- Do not use mascara which has dried. Do not try to soften it with water or saliva. As it is in direct contact with eyes, can cause an infection.
- Save cosmetics in a cool place to prevent heat causes chemical changes in the formula. For this reason, you should not leave the bag with cosmetics in the car.
- Use each product for their specific function (use the lipstick on the lips, not in the eyes to prevent contamination by bacteria).
- Avoid eyeliners and kohl containing dangerous levels that may include lead.
- Do not share your cosmetics with anyone else, nor brushes hair or eyebrows.
As you review if you have a product for disposal, remember all these recommendations to help you make better choices the next time you go in search of cosmetic or beauty treatment for you. Remember that the base of beauty is health. Take care of it!
