Lipstick Safety Alert: Women and lipstick, it is a relationship that is hard to describe in words. The right shade can transform your entire personality—sometimes it gives you a soft and classy look, and sometimes a bold and boss-like look. This is why even women who do not wear much makeup do not like to step out of the house without a good lipstick.
But have you ever considered that the lipstick you love so much could also be hazardous to your health? Yes, it is true. Today we will tell you why you should not use some lipsticks and will also talk about the health problems associated with them.
Why can a lipstick cheaper than ₹500 be dangerous?
Nowadays, the prices of everything are increasing, and makeup products are also not exempt from this trend. A good branded lipstick can cost more than ₹500. Most people do not want to spend a lot of money and hence often buy inexpensive lipsticks from local markets or small shops.
But do you know what is in such cheap lipsticks? There is no guarantee. These lipsticks often use low-quality chemicals and cheap colours. No matter how good this lipstick looks, it neither lasts long nor is it safe for your lips.

These can darken your lips, make them dry and most dangerously, the chemicals present in them can also cause serious diseases like cancer. So, the next time you buy a cheap lipstick to save money, think twice. Your health is more important than the beauty of your lips.
While buying lipstick, make sure to check these two chemicals
Do you know that some lipsticks contain such harmful chemicals that can harm our bodies from the inside? Mumbai’s renowned orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Manan Vora, has stated in a video that we should check the label of two special chemicals before purchasing a lipstick. These chemicals are:
Parabens
Phthalates
Both of these chemicals are added to increase the shelf life of lipstick and to maintain the correct formula. But they are not good for our bodies. According to Dr. Vora, these chemicals act like the estrogen hormone in our body, which can cause a hormonal imbalance. This can also cause delay in periods, fatigue and other health problems. The next time you buy lipstick, look for these two names on the label and avoid purchasing lipstick made from them.
Is it only applying lipstick that causes problems?
As important as it is to check the right things while buying lipstick, it is equally important to use it in the right way.
Please do not sleep with lipstick on: It is important to clean the lipstick of the day properly before sleeping at night. Staying on the lips overnight with chemicals can increase dryness and darkening.
Moisturise your lips: Always apply a good lip balm or petroleum jelly before and after applying lipstick to keep your lips soft and hydrated.
If you make a smart purchase and use your lipstick correctly, you will not only look beautiful but also maintain the health of your lips.
