Excessive use of lipstick can cause serious damage to the lips. In such a situation, if you use lipstick wisely then you can avoid its harm. Let us know what are the disadvantages of lipstick and how to avoid it.
Most of the girls use lipstick on their lips to enhance their beauty. It brightens the face which makes the face look attractive. This is the reason why women like to wear it on most occasions.
If you also like applying lipstick and use it carelessly, then let us tell you that it can damage the skin of the lips very quickly. A research published on Science Direct has revealed that it contains chemicals like heavy lead, chromium and cadmium which are harmful for the skin.
Not only this, the harmful elements present in it can also cause neurological problems. If the chromium present in it enters the stomach, it can cause stomach ulcers, cramps, damage to the kidneys and liver and can even cause death. Some chromium compounds also get absorbed into the skin and cause skin ulcers.
Apart from this, if chromium enters the stomach in large quantities then this heavy metal can also become a threat to the heart and brain. In such a situation, if you use lipstick then it is important to be careful. To avoid such problems, keep some things in mind.
Whenever you buy lipstick, make sure that it is of good quality. Never buy cheap lipstick available in the market which is too bright. In fact, red and dark colors are more likely to contain heavy metals.
If you want to protect your skin from the effects of lipstick, then the best solution is to first apply lip balm or vaseline on your lips. After this apply lipstick. By doing this the skin will absorb less lipstick and will protect the lips from damage.
