For many, makeup is no longer a special occasion necessity but has gradually become a daily essential. Yet behind heavy makeup lies a threat to skin health. Beware Pigment Deposition Leading to Dark Spots When Applying Makeup The pursuit of beauty is a natural inclination for women. While the saying "clothes make the man" once prevailed, "beauty through makeup" now dominates.For many young women today, makeup has become a daily habit. On one hand, a beautiful makeup look enhances one's image; on the other, it can conceal facial imperfections like dark spots and acne. Little do they realize that prolonged use of heavy makeup actually causes chronic damage to skin health.
Most cosmetics on the market contain metallic components.Long-term use of products high in chemical metals like lead and mercury, or those with added fragrances, can easily trigger dark spots on the skin. Furthermore, when skin is constantly covered by heavy makeup, it struggles to breathe properly. Combined with many people not thoroughly removing their makeup, pigments and harmful substances from cosmetics can linger on the skin's surface or even seep in, leading to pigment accumulation. Dark spots will inevitably "pop up" sooner or later.
How can makeup enthusiasts avoid dark spot troubles?
While makeup harms skin, some cannot completely abandon it. Are there methods to minimize damage and prevent dark spots?
First, opt for light makeup daily.
Second, avoid low-quality, unbranded "knockoff" cosmetics.
Third, prioritize thorough makeup removal over application.For heavy makeup, opt for cleansing oil. Designed on the "oil dissolves oil" principle, it effortlessly blends with facial makeup and oil residues. Through water-emulsification, it thoroughly dissolves and removes stubborn makeup. Those with light makeup or sensitive skin should use cleansing liquids or milks. Fourth, prioritize post-cleansing skincare.
