My topic I have decided to research is how cosmetics affect our integumentary system (your skin).Did you know the average women spends 450 days applying her make up in a life time, nearly 90 percent of British Columbia’s women use fragrances and over 80 percent wear lipstick Unfortunately, with the overwhelming amount of dangerous chemicals in these products and our Obsession over make up, may be causing damage to our integumentary systems and our health. some examples of effects make-up has on our integumentary systems include Rashes, infections, even a disease called streptococcus which eats away at your skin and deeper. There are worse things that cosmetics can cause especially when they absorb through your skin such as cancer, tumours, allergic reactions even birth effects.
Do you think it’s safe to have these products for the use of everyday beauty?
What do you think are some ways to make cosmetics safer to use?

Your blog is so interesting...
ReplyDeleteI never knew how much time we really spend applying our makeup,but its alot. And it's insane how much damage we do to our skin just to look a certain way.
I think its okay to use these products,because people have been using them so long. But just don't use as much. Don't use as much foundation one day. or whatever.
&& You could use the brands that don't test on animals. they have less chemicals...i think =-)
Wow, I never knew barely any of that.
ReplyDeleteBut what is so bad about perfume?
