For centuries, makeup has been a tool of self-expression and beauty, but in recent years, there have been discussions about its excessive use and possible negative impact on health, reports Marca.
Is it harmful to wear makeup often
While many people enjoy enhancing their appearance with cosmetics, it's important to consider the risks associated with daily use in large quantities.
Negative effects on the skin
One of the main reasons why excessive use of makeup can be harmful is its effect on the skin. Cosmetic products, especially those containing harsh chemical ingredients, can clog pores and cause problems such as acne, irritation, and skin allergies.
In addition, the constant use of heavy foundations and concealers can lead to dull, dehydrated skin as it prevents the skin from breathing properly. Product buildup can also interfere with the natural process of cell renewal, leading to an unhealthy complexion.
In the long run, excessive makeup use can have more serious consequences.
Some studies have shown that certain ingredients in cosmetic products may be linked to hormonal problems or even cancer. For example, parabens and phthalates are common preservatives found in many cosmetic products and are controversial because of their potential health effects.
