Quite a lot of ladies love makeup cannot do without it before stepping out for the day.
This is understandable. However, there is need for caution as using makeup every day can harm the skin in many ways.
Some of these skin-unfriendly components used in everyday makeup products can even cause irritation, itchiness and sometimes even untimely ageing.
How? Many daily makeup products contain harsh chemicals that can disrupt functions of the protective barrier of the skin, making it easier for pathogens to enter the skin. Using makeup regularly can cause various side effects, impacting the health and natural glow of the skin.
However, this does not mean that ladies cannot use makeup at all if they follow a few healthy makeup habits and choose skin-friendly products.
Side Effects of Wearing Makeup Regularly
If you are experiencing one or more of the side effects listed below, it is time to do something about it.
1. Clogged Pores
If you are applying makeup on a regular basis and leaving it on your skin for a long time, there are chances that your skin pores get clogged. This does not let your skin breathe, making it prone to acne, bumps and other facial skin problems. You may notice bumps around your eyes as well.
2. Untimely Aging
One of the important things that you do to maintain your skin’s health is protecting it from sun damage. When you forget to apply sunscreen before applying makeup, you expose your skin to sun damage. Leaving makeup on for a longer period along with sun damage can result in premature ageing signs like wrinkles, fine lines and age spots. Also, when you don’t remove your makeup before you sleep, it can get into your pores and cause wrinkles.
3. Dry or Oily Skin
Makeup products that do not suit your skin type can make your skin drier or oilier. People with dry skin may experience extreme dryness if they use makeup that’s not meant for their skin type. Similarly, those with oily skin may experience too much of oil production than usual after using the wrong products.
4. Breakouts
Breakouts may occur due to hormonal imbalance, certain medications, improper diet etc. But regular usage of makeup can add to your woes and trigger more frequent breakouts. Skin experts agree that those with acne-prone skin should limit their makeup usage. Applying less makeup can improve your skin’s health and reduce blackheads too.
