Recently, women have gotten used to pampering their faces with heavy makeups either for events or to work. Some women do this every day while some do this occasionally.
As much as every woman comes out looking beautiful, some medical experts have come out to reveal some of the dangers attached to excessive makeup. They revealed that heavy-makeovers could lead to skin cancer, irritation, fertility and other diseases.
According to a dermatologist, Mr Alex Adeniyi, he disclosed that these diseases may occur due to the chemical contents in most make-up products. He added that it will expose the skin to germs and harmful toxins.

Adeniyi said: “Chemicals found in lipsticks, eye pencils, mascara and kajal among others, can cause serious health problems. Women who apply make-up on their skins must always clean their faces before going to bed, to remove all traces of chemicals from their skins. This must be done, especially, at night to avert any skin irritation or disease.”
Another dermatologist Mrs Tobi Davis disclosed that as much as women are trying to beautify and cover up acnes on their faces, makeups may cause more skin problems.
She said: “Lipsticks, kajal sticks, eye-shadows are known to contain carcinogenic and neurotoxin chemicals that can have adverse effects on the skin. This can lead users to developing high blood pressure, allergies, behavioral abnormalities, and reduction in fertility. Some chemical preservatives used in many cosmetics are hazardous to the human biological and physiological systems."

Davis further added that in trying to conceal all the patches on your faces, women will only end up looking older and adding more damages to the face.
She also advised that women should clean off all the chemicals applied on their faces before going to bed. Davis added that women should use natural facial treatment like cucumber, tomatoes, honey and eggs.
