Most people underestimate the power of continuity. Compare it with collection coins. Even penny’s can get someone very rich, as long as you collect many of them in a long period of time. The same thing is happening in our bodies. We’re all collecting things. Good, bad, and unfortunately especially in these times: very, very bad things! The cosmetics we use are generally, together with our food, the two most hazardous things affecting our body.
Why wearing unhealthy, chemical cosmetics is destroying us slowly
As stated in the opening of this blog, things can add up very fast resulting in things that can have a huge outcome. Good or bad. Multiple research have indicated that many top-cosmetic brands and products, like lipgloss, lipstick and mascara pose a grave danger to the lifes of those who use them. Just read what Medium’s Kara Cook-Schultz has to say about the dangers of chemical cosmetics.
When we’re licking our lips, drinking our coffee, or eating our breakfast, many of us are ingesting lip products. Americans use lots of lip balms and lipstick, especially in the winter — and the amount ingested is significant: on average, an American woman applies lipstick 2.35 times per day, and some women apply lipstick as much as 14 times per day. The result is that some people are ingesting a pound of lip product every two years.
If there are dangerous chemicals in those lip products, then that usage can have serious consequences for a person’s health.
“Cancer could be lurking in your lipstick… and lip gloss… and your kids’ lip balm… and…”
