What damage can regular make up cause to your skin

Constant use of makeup does have a telling effect on our skin. It is important to use makeup carefully according to your skin type. It is also important to remove all makeup before you hit the bed each night.

Few ways makeup can damage your skin are:

1. Makeup causes acne, nine out of ten times if not removed properly every night.

2. In some people, regular use of makeup also triggers reactions and allergies.

3. Regular use of makeup also leads to cancer and other chronic diseases.

4. Using low quality of makeup wrinkles the skin and you start looking much older than what you actually are.

Caution: If your skin is sensitive, always check with your dermatologist for any issues or advice before you buy and apply any beauty product.
