Makeup ??

Question

I didn't know that some makeup could apparently be harmful! 
What are ingredients or things I should avoid in makeup? or products in general that I should stay away from ?
This includes foundation, concealer, contour/highlight cream, eyeshadow, mascara and makeup remover wipes
 
Please help! I don't know what I can wear and what I can't and I'm a junior in highschool getting acne again from the pregnancy hormones so I definitely will be wearing makeup

Answer

Unfortunately many cosmetics contain ingredients that are pretty dangerous- for pregnant and non-pregnant people! You can learn a lot at the Environmental Working Group: Skin Deep site: ewg.org/skindeep

Not all potentially harmful ingredients have been shown 100% to cause health problems. Sometimes it's a matter or correlation. Ultimately, you have to decide which ingredients you are or are not willing to risk using. Some people avoid nearly all man made ingredients in their hygiene and cosmetic products, others are comfortable with some risk.  Figure out what works for you

Answer

My doctor told me not to stress about it, just don't wear too much. I know you want to wear makeup because of the acne, but try to wear as little as possible and wash your face when you're home for the day. Don't use too many products made for acne because they'll just dry your skin out causing it to produce more oil. Never go to bed with your makeup on!

Answer

Stay away from make up that contains lead. It's harmful!

Answer

I just avoid make up with salcilic acid

Answer

Try and stay away from anything that contains parabens - they are in a lot of Skincare, shampoo, body wash etc, and found in high quantities in fetal tissue in a recent study. They disrupt the endocrine system so best avoided :)
