Fake Makeup - Disease In The Packaging?

in #health7 years ago

Every so often, some celebrity or expensive brand announce their new makeup products. It is almost impossible to catch up with all of them and not only because of their amount, but also because of the price. And then what happens? The Chinese take things into their own hands, copies start to jump out and spread at a high speed. Their target group? Young naive girls.

Looking at youtubers and other influencers wearing and advertising those products, girls get desire to own them. And after that, as they study and do not have much money, they go to ebay and order fake products. They think the goods were stolen or resold, but even if it's fake, what does it matter? Nothing will happen to me because of one lipstick, eyeshadow or foundation. It's the same color, packaging, it will convince my friends it's the original!

Well, don't be so sure.

It has been discovered that fake makeup contains many harmful substances in huge amounts. For example, tests found that the fake MAC product contained 3702mg/kg of lead - the permitted limit is 10mg/kg. That amound of lead, after some time can cause serious health problems as high blood pressure, cardiac, reproductive and neurological problems.

Fake Kylie Cosmetics lipstick have glue and gasoline as ingredients of which girls had serious problems with swollen lips and even wounds! Then can you imagine how dangerous it is just to use a fake eyeshadow or foundation on regular basis...

There is a reason why we pay more for original products. Of course, some of them are really expensive because we pay for the name, but at that price are included tests for which Chinese will certainly not pay if their product costs five dollars.
You never know what you put on your face.
And because of that, keep away from the fake makeup for your own good! :)
