Is Your Makeup Killing You?




They say beauty is only skin deep. But the cosmetic products many women use to look their best every day could actually be causing damage far beyond that. Research suggests that many trusted makeup and personal care products may contain potentially harmful chemicals. The average woman uses 10 beauty products a day, exposing her to 126 chemical ingredients, many of which are linked to health risks such as diabetes, cancer, or reproductive harm. 

Hopefully this is an we opener for most people that didn't realise the damaging effects of the chemicals in some
beauty products. Even more so in fact than the chemicals on food we eat- through putting toxic chemicals directly into your skin it is far more damaging to your organs than eating them as these are then absorbed directly into your bloodstream minus the enzymes we use to break these down when consuming.
On average we absorb 5lbs of toxic chemicals into our blood stream.
Most 'mineral' products only need to contain just 1% of mineral to claim they're 'mineral makeup' therefore it's so it's important to do your own research. 


Simplify your beauty routine. The fewer makeup products and lotions you use, the lower your health risk from cosmetic ingredients. Use fewer products — and know what is in the cosmetics you do use.
