Why pay with your life?

Every year ladies spend over thousands of dollars on skincare and facials. However not realizing how important it is to get really good quality makeup. Some thinks that by spending on good quality skincare will make up for all the damage makeup does to their skin, but the fact is yet to defer.

I wanted to name this title, fake or counterfeit makeup at first. But noticing the many numerous makeup cosmetic brands hitting the market, i think it is more important to know the ingredients than just identifying by brands. I cannot guarantee to say that all big brands in the market or commonly seen or used brands are of good quality.

Below are 5 different types of toxic ingredients found in low quality or counterfeit makeup that might cost your life:
1) Lead, is considered as an ancient poison that leads to headaches, nauseas, abdominal pains and lethargy. Serious cases may lead to coma and seizures.

2) Arsenic, is listed as Class 1 carcinogen and is commonly used in pesticides and can potentially lead to bowel diseases, cancer, weakened immune system and weak liver function.

3) Copper, can cause irritation in nose and throat when inhaled. Exposure to high doses can cause diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, liver and kidney damage and even death.

4) Mercury, is one of the most poisonous substance ever known. it can potentially harm the central nervous system and other harmful causes includes mood changes, insomnia, irritability, loss of appetite, tremors and short-term memory loss.

5) Cadmium, is toxic even in low levels. Exposure can cause heart and lung irritations, breathing problems, fluid build-up in lungs and softening of bones that may eventually lead to fractures.

Some of these ingredients are often used to substitute the other expensive ones that gives the same outlook effects of the makeup, but leaving long lasting damage to our skin and even our body.
