Many cosmetic formulations that contain substances designed to penetrate the skin more rapidly than natural ingredients such as water are also potential sensitizers.

Penetration-enhancing substances have the ability to significantly alter the lipid barrier function of a layer of the skin, and may even cause irritation.
The use of products containing these substances may also lead to allergic reactions on individuals with susceptible skins!!

So check out the list of ingredients before buying!!

Yes you're right the chemicals can have nasty effects on the skin in the long run..you better stay away from them and opt for the natural products which contain vegetables and fruits and will benefit the skin in the long run!!

i don't like buying the products that contain a lot of chemicals or those products that cannot be trusted coz they seem cheap..and the list of ingredients doesn't look appealing too!!
I always look at the list of ingredients before buying a new product ..just to be on the safe side!!

Yes indeed all cosmetic have got both good and side effects!! Well if you listen to all these gossips you might refuse to use all and everything!!! It’s just like fast food!! Each and everyone say that it’s bad for health but they won't stop eating then for all that!! So it's the same when it comes to cosmetics!! Some will say its bad and others not!! So it's all up to you consequently!!

This is quiet difficult to know which ingredient to use and which one to avoid..
There is so many ingredients in a product that you will waste hours reading them..Just buy brand name which is common and which has a good reputation.

Good one Megan, i always take my time before buying a make up or a face and

body cream, i make sure that it does not contain chemicals ingredients or even

alcohol. I also do a wrist test everytime i buy a product which i would suggest

everyone to do the same.

I’ll bear this in mind before buying any products. But sometime the vendor dupes you with his/her sweet talk and I end up buying the product.

These ingredients are none other than chemical elements which naturally are not advisable for our skin! And sometimes Alcohol in products should also be avoided!

Megan dear I haven’t understand anything that you have posted. Please post the information in a simpler way. I do realize that you were talking sense but it is clear enough for me.
