One of the best parts of growing up is trying on make-up and skin products! But here is what you don't know. A lot of makeup that you buy from drug stores, although inexpensive, can actually be terrible for your skin and can cause unwanted acne and blemishes!
Here are some ingredients that you can find on your actual makeup product to definitely watch out for:
- synthetic binders, fillers, emulsifiers, thickeners
- cortisone, tar, phosphates
- mineral oil, paraffin, lanolin, petrolatum, PVP/VA copolymer, DEA, TEA, MEA
- alcohols, formaldehyde, acetone
- alpha and beta hydroxy acids
- preservatives, parabens, ureas, propylene glycol
- sodium laurel or laureth sulfate, ammonium laurel or laureth sulfate
I know that's a mess of weird and shocking words but think about it... those ingredients should NEVER go on your face.
If you must, the best thing to buy at your local drug store are eyeshadows, mascaras, eye liners, tweezers, eyelash curlers, and lip sticks but go to the beauty and cosmetic stores like Mac or Sephora to buy foundations, blushes, and BRUSHES! It might be a bit more expensive, but save up to buy one new piece of make-up a month. Soon enough, you will have an entire vanity full of great makeup that is actually healthy for your skin. Here are a few brand names for skin care and cosmetics to use on your face.
