Dr. Ram Kumar Garg*

Abstract

Cosmetics are applied to the body to clean, enhance, make more appealing, or alter appearance. They might contain a wide range of active substances that are extremely dangerous, especially when used over an extended period of time, like steroids, hydroquinone, and mercury. If we consider the frequency of application, the duration of practise, and the area of the body applied, many of these components are unhealthy and pose health hazards. Cosmetics are causing alarming adverse events to its users. There are a number of potential adverse effects of cosmetic use on women’s health. These include skin irritations, allergic reactions, and potentially harmful chemicals being absorbed through the skin. Cosmetics can also harbor bacteria and fungi, which can lead to infections. In some cases, cosmetics may also interfere with the body’s natural hormone production. Several strategies exist to lessen the possibility of negative cosmetic impacts. These include using products that are hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic, avoiding products that contain known irritants or allergens, and using products that are water-based rather than oil-based. It is also important to properly cleanse the skin before and after using cosmetics, and to avoid sharing products with others.
