Asides that some ladies look like expensive clowns and smell like bootycall for bees, they also add harmful substances to their skin by the constant usage of the products they use in order to enhance their beauty.

U.S. researchers report that one in eight of the 82,000 ingredients used in personal care products are industrial chemicals, including carcinogens, pesticides, reproductive toxins, and hormone disruptors. Many products include plasticizers (chemicals that keep concrete soft), degreasers (used to get grime off auto parts), and surfactants (they reduce surface tension in water, like in paint and inks). Imagine what that does to your skin.
From great skin to luxurious hair, the beauty products you’re using may contain very harmful chemicals that could ruin your skin and ultimately, your life.
i did some research on your behalf and got some names for you to take note of.
Thank me later.

DEA – affects fetus development

DEA (Diethanolamine), is a substance used to produce ingredients that add foaminess and creaminess to shampoos, body washes, bubble baths and waterless hand cleaners. A DEA offshoot – Cocamide DEA – is an allergen that can be irritating to the skin and associated with contact dermatitis.

The biggest DEA-related concern, according to dermatologists, is its potential harm to fetuses. One animal study done on mice showed that the ingredient could damage the developing brain and memory by blocking the absorption of the B vitamin Choline during infant development. The best substitute is coconut oil.

Parabens – may cause breast cancer

Parabens are a preservative in personal-care products. They prevent the growth of microbial organisms and is found in shampoos, moisturizers, shaving gels, makeup and many other items.

According to dermatologists, The biggest concern is that parabens might mimic the hormone estrogen which has been tied to certain types of breast cancers. One study in 2004 found them in human breast tumors. Researchers aren’t sure how the parabens got into the tumors or whether they caused the tumors to appear. Try using citrus seed extract or antioxidants like vitamin E.

Triclosan – may cause hormone disruption and antibiotic resistance

Triclosan is an antibacterial and antifungal ingredient found in many antibacterial soaps, gels, toothpastes and some cosmetics. Because of increased interest in keeping germ-free, especially during the cold and flu season, many consumers believe a product’s use of triclosan is an added benefit.

A study on a popular toothpaste containing triclosan was effective in preventing gingivitis, but animal studies have tied triclosan to hormone disruption. Dermatologists say the ingredient may even contribute to making bacteria antibiotic-resistant. The FDA is reviewing the safety and effectiveness of this ingredient. Dermatologists say just use regular soap and water.

Parfum/Fragrance – can cause allergic reactions/migranes/asthma

In addition to making products smell desirable, fragrance can even mask or conceal the odor of certain unpleasant-smelling ingredients.
Added fragrance can cause allergic reactions, migraines and asthma symptoms in chemically sensitive people. Over longer periods of time, research has shown some added fragrances may be hormone disruptors because the body cannot eliminate them...

This is rather long!
