The shelves of countless cosmetic stores are full of various brightly colored jars and tubes, forcing girls and women to spend hours wandering along the showcases, choosing all kinds of creams, shampoos, balms, powders and mascara. Television advertising and "waste paper" in mailboxes also constantly attack the female half of humanity, juggling discounts, offering to try out a new product or promoting another cosmetic brand. Under such an onslaught is not easy to resist. But are these cosmetic novelties so safe?
The insidious enemy of beauty
More and more often women turn to specialists, complaining that a cosmetic product does not suit them. Skin flaking, irregular redness and itching occur. As a rule, the cause is trivial: allergic dermatitis. And provoke it with substances included in the composition of cosmetics.
- Fragrances. These are aromatic substances that give a pleasant odor to the product (mostly synthetic).
- Preservatives. Components of chemical origin that prolong the "life" of cosmetics.
- Dyes. The brighter the product, the more dyes it contains and the greater the chances of "earning" an allergic reaction.
It should be remembered that absolutely hypoallergenic cosmetics, alas, there is no such thing as hypoallergenic cosmetics. Even if a cosmetic product is 99.9 percent natural, there is no guarantee that one of them will not be allergic. For example, honey and active essential oils can also cause skin rashes. However, by choosing a cosmetic with a neutral smell and color and a relatively short shelf life, you have a better chance of avoiding allergies and causing problems.
Already arisen skin problems due to cosmetics, which sings ode to advertising waste paper taking antihistamines will help to solve. Also do not refuse to consult a dermatologist. He will help to understand the causes of allergies and recommend a safe cosmetic product.
