“I’d kill to look like her.” A comment that any young girl has (probably) made at some point in her life when referring to someone’s flawless makeup and skin. Every woman want to have that perfect look: the impeccable face, mesmerizing eyes and pouty lips. But what I am trying to tell young girls is that these products will in fact, lead to an early death.
The cosmetic product than can cause the most health damage is lipstick; instead of enhancing women’s beauty, it is reducing their lifespan. This damages the health of women the most because it contains the large amounts of lead and traces of other heavy metal substances.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) claims that the lead in makeup, such as lipstick, is nothing to worry about and is not a safety concern for women. I find this hard to believe as lead is an ingredient in not only lipstick, but other cosmetic products such as foundation and face creams as well.
They are failing to tell us when one uses lipstick once a while or every day over the course of their lifespan, they greatly increase the health risks they will have as they get older, such as a damaged nervous system and tumors in the stomach due to ingested toxins.
Lead is not the only metal poisoning young women who wear lipstick. Other toxic heavy metals such as chromium, cadmium, manganese and aluminum were found when lipstick was chemically tested. Lead is detrimental to the health of a person, as are the other metal materials found in lipstick. A combination of these metals, inconsistent and unchecked, can only lead to greater physical health problems to the women who wear such products consistently.

Your lipstick pigment stays on for long hours during the day and many times we sleep with it too! Such a practice is definitely not the healthiest.

What Happens When Digest These Pigments Are Digested?
Lip formulas tend to be ingested after long hours of application, so the impact of the present toxins increases. Researchers have found that average lipstick or lip gloss use resulted in women exceeding daily intake guidelines for aluminium, cadmium, chromium and manganese. These accumulate in your body over time and cause toxicity.
Also, sleeping with lipstick increases the chances of all the harmful effects mentioned and hence, is to be strictly avoided.
