Various cosmetics and skin care products are widely available in stores and salons. With these products it is easier for women and men to achieve a healthy, smooth and beautiful skin. However, even though these products are effective, not all of these are safe. Cosmetics are supposed to help women look beautiful, but these products are often so full of harmful synthetic chemicals that they could leave you with unsightly skin conditions. Yes, most makeup products and cosmetics are terribly harsh on your skin and numerous studies report that they are carcinogenic. Moreover, cosmetics and makeup can inhibit your skin from breathing and can harbour bacteria and help external impurities causing skin problems.

Dr. Uma Singh, Skin Cancer, Medical Director of Ozone Ayurvedics gives you a list of 10 cosmetics that can cause significant harm to your skin and body – the list is by no means complete; it is just the tip of the iceberg!
