The Many Ways Cheap Makeup Is Aging Your Skin

  • Can inhibit your skin from breathing, forcing it to harbor bacteria
  • Lead ingestion by way of cheap lipstick, can cause brain damage and behavior abnormalities
  • Chemical, toxic and infective conjunctivitis, uveitis, glaucoma, dry eye and conjunctival discoloration is also linked to using cheap eyeliner on the inside of your lids
  • Organ failure of kidney and liver
  • Aging

To help avoid these reactions, look for makeup products that are fragrance- and oil-free; these ingredients are typically the most irritating to the skin.

Also, look for makeup labeled hypoallergenic, noncomedogenic, and nonacnegenic. Physicians Formula, Clinique and even Neutrogena, which can be purchased at your local drug store, have some great alternatives at a price tag you can live with. These products won’t cause allergic reactions, acne or clog your pores.

In saying that, should you find yourself developing any kind of reaction after beginning a new beauty routine, it’s probably a good idea to stop using that particular product ASAP!
