Even as makeup has been doing great jobs on women, the overuse has some negative effects on our skin. It is highly important that we allow our skin breathe and not always clog our skin pores with makeup every time.

Few of the negative effects that can occur while overusing makeup will be explained below

Acne:

This is quite common among ladies. Acne breeds on the face when you refuse to allow some air on your skin, always padding and touching up with makeup. Also, it occurs once cosmetics is not properly cleaned off the face before going to bed. To avoid this, clean thoroughly with a natural face cleanser after washing your face every night.

Premature Aging:

Makeup products are mostly chemicals that also have their side effects. When used for so long, they have a way of leaving their trade mark on the skin  thus resulting into a quick aging effect. When we notice wrinkles on our faces there is a need to stop and check out what may be the cause, it could be some of the skin care products we use.

Skin Discolouration:

When we see some people without makeup we sometimes get that irritating feeling and we are quick to say “no wonder their face is always made up, they have a bad skin” but what we do not know is that their skin was probably much better before they were exposed to the harmful effect of cosmetics products. It gets worse when we use fake skin products.

Dry Skin:

This is not really as common as the others but it is also a challenge for our skin. The use of some cosmetics product can leave the skin permanently dry causing skin cracks.

Cancer:

This is a quite scary right? However it can be avoided. When we reduce the use and avoid going to bed with chemicals on. As earlier stated, cosmetics contain some amount of chemicals which when applied, is absorbed into the skin and can lead to skin cancer overtime. It is therefore advisable to use less of these products with harsh chemicals ,reduce the use of makeup and clean up before going to bed.

These and many others are the negativity that come with the overuse of applying cosmetics. We need to always check the chemical content of these products before purchasing them.  Also, let’s be aware of the dangers involved in the overuse- this should guide how often these cosmetics are applied.

High Cola Intake-

Daily consumption of cola makes one age faster than usual. Research has shown that the combination of caffeine and phosphoric acid in cola will result into a lower bone-mineral density thus causing one to age quickly.

Exposure to Carbon Monoxide-

Exhaust from cars, trucks, trains and buses that we are constantly exposed to poses a threat to our health. They do not only cause breathing problems but also aging and skin issues like eczema, acne and psoriasis which may result into cancer on the long run.

Consuming Inflammatory Foods-

Daily consumption of meals that tend to cause inflammation affect our looks. Constantly eating vegetables, red meats, margarine, oils, white bread, or sugary processed foods do our skin no good as they cause inflammation resulting into wrinkle formation. Eat foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids and alpha-linolenic acid such as flax seeds, flax seed oil, avocados, salmon, and olive oil. Also, meals/product abundant in zinc, selenium, vitamin C and beta carotene help in the body’s production of collagen which  keeps the skin firm, supple and soft.

Smoking and Drinking Alcohol-

According to Huffington post on healthy living, Alcohol is a natural diuretic, as you consume you become dehydrated. This does not only suck away the natural moisture from your skin, drinking excessively causes rosacea outbreaks and exacerbates fine lines, acne, and wrinkles, which instantly makes you look older. Smoking does not only cause heart disease, infertility, bladder cancer, high blood pressure and lung cancer. It also heightens psoriasis, alcohol reduces the skin cell oxygen leading to a pale and uneven colouring. Smoking also leads to a breakdown of collagen which may cause a loose and saggy skin. This makes us age even in our youth.

Lack of Sleep/Stress-

The recommended amount of sleep per night should be between seven to nine hours. Not doing this may have a huge negative impact on ones health. However, long straight sleeps on one side of the face may cause wrinkles and fine lines. Sleeping on your back may be one fine way to avoid fine lines and wrinkles. Worry, anxiety and stress cause aging faster than anything.  Stress will age the brain, increase blood pressure and will make one loose sleep resulting in a more older look.

Daily Exercise-

Routine workouts and exercise makes one strong, firm and healthy. It eliminates excess fats which may make the skin saggy. Moderate exercise keeps us agile, sharp, alert and ensure we feel young.

Bad Makeup-

Wearing the wrong make up/ using expired and bad products could damage your skin. It is important that we go for quality and not quantity when choosing products for our skin. Take some time to research about the chemicals that has been put together to make the products. Applying bad make up such as heavy foundation and powder tend to settle into the skin causing wrinkles. These products clog our face pores and ruin skin luminosity.  To avoid an aging look it is very important that we go for good quality products.
