Saed News: Although waterproof cosmetics are highly popular due to their long-lasting effect and are widely used for parties, sports, or humid weather, continuous and improper use of them can cause problems for the skin and even the eyes.
According to SAEDNEWS, the use of makeup among women has become a lifestyle, but the quality of these products is very important so that they do not harm the skin and health. Many people look for hydrating products, unaware that they may actually be harming their bodies with their own hands.
Clogging skin pores
Many waterproof products contain silicones, waxes, and heavy ingredients that may clog pores and lead to:
Acne
Pimples
Skin inflammation
Dryness and skin sensitivity
To increase durability, these products often reduce the skin’s natural oils, which may cause:
Dryness
Flaking
Redness and irritation
Damage to eyelashes and eyelids
Waterproof mascaras, if used frequently or removed improperly, can lead to:
Brittle eyelashes
Eyelash loss
Eyelid irritation and dry eyes
Need for strong removers
Removing waterproof makeup usually requires strong cleansers or excessive rubbing, which can:
Weaken the skin barrier
Cause premature wrinkles
Irritate the skin
Use waterproof products only when necessary
Always remove makeup completely before sleeping
Use gentle oil-based or micellar cleansers
Hydrate the skin after removing makeup
Pay attention to ingredients like parabens, formaldehyde, and strong fragrances
Important note:
Occasional use usually does not cause serious problems, but daily and long-term use of low-quality waterproof cosmetics can damage the skin and eyes.
