Four fashion elements threat the health of females

1, makeup
Cosmetics contain a variety of chemical substances. The most worrying are preservatives belonging to hydroxyl benzoic acid. Statistics show that 99% of makeup products and 77% of the makeup removal products contain hydroxyl benzoic acid. It can imitate the female hormone estrogen. If women constantly expose to estrogen,it may increase the risk of breast cancer. A study shows that the probability if hydroxyl benzoic acid showing up in breast cancer tissues is as high as 90%. It may also damage male reproductive ability. The essence, pigment cosmetics contain mostly are artificial synthesis substances taking coal tar as raw material. Some of which have carcinogenic effect. Some cosmetics containing hormones also have serious impact on human health. The skin will be temporarily white and smooth. Once you stop applying, your skin will be in worse condition. Eyelid cream and face cream contain talcum powder whose molecules are similar to that of asbestos. If being inhaled, it can cause respiratory problems, asthma and even lung cancer.

2, dyeing hair
Frequent use of hair dye for a long time may cause permanent damage to the human body. Because in the process of hair dyes, large amounts of oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide, sodium sulfite, formaldehyde and sodium bisulfite as reductant etc will cause certain damage to the hair and scalp, leading to scalp pityriasis (dandruff), scalp seborrheic dermatitis and contact dermatitis. Benzene-containing substances and heavy metal salt can also be absorbed by the skin, causing damage to blood, liver and kidney.

3, perming
The main components in perming agent are thioglycolic acid which have strong irritant effect to skin and mucous membrane and para-phenylene diamine, a toxic substance which can result in allergies, dandruffs and hair loss, If they are for long-term use, it can lead to skin cancer, leukemia, bladder cancer and other serious diseases.

4. Whitening and spot removing
Whitening cosmetics are often added with some special composition, such as kojic acid. It can inhibits tyrosinase activity, thus control the pigmentation of the skin. A large amount of kojic can cause vitiligo accompanied by strong irritation. The chemical properties of kojic acid itself are not stable. The pyran in Kojic acid can be carcinogenic.
