First: the side effects of applying makeup
1# The pores are clogged
Using cosmetics on a regular basis and leaving them on for long hours can clog our skin pores. Therefore, the skin is not able to breathe properly which leads to the formation of acne and bumps. This is called clogged pores.
2# premature aging-
Skin in contact with direct sunlight after applying makeup can cause wrinkles. Protecting the skin from sun damage is very important. Those who tend to put on makeup and go out can show signs of premature aging. This can also happen if a person does not wash off makeup before bed. Sleeping with makeup on can also cause wrinkles.
3# Breakouts
Breakouts happen due to a hormonal imbalance, and there are certain medications, improper diet and other conditions that can trigger a hormonal imbalance. Using makeup around this time can lead to more breakouts. Those whose skin is prone to acne should not use makeup regularly. Wearing less makeup can help improve the health of your skin and reduce blackheads.
4# Allergic reactions
Ingredients within makeup products vary from company to company. Some may suit your skin and some may not. Hence, it is always dangerous to switch brands in the case of skin care. There are also harmful chemicals present in the products that increase allergic reactions. This makes the skin itchy and uncomfortable.
5# Color changes
Applying makeup over and over again can seriously damage the skin. Using makeup can damage your skin so that it changes your natural skin tone. Pollution, sunlight, and free radicals all weaken the skin.
6# Eye infections
Make-up is used on the entire face, including your eyes and eyelids. The eyes are very sensitive to any other foreign particle. Since the beauty products contain kinds of chemicals, if you get inside the eyes, there are good chances of getting an eye infection.
7 # Cancer
Well, yes, your makeup can lead to cancer. Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. However, there are not many chances of getting cancer through makeup because most of the good makeup products are skin friendly, but the ingredients can damage the skin somewhere and form a kind of skin cancer if not taken care of.
Second: the differences between some basic products that are applied to the skin
BB, CC and DD creams
  
What character is right for you
Alphabetical formulations—like BB cream, CC cream, and soon DD creams—have joined tinted moisturizers and standard foundation on shelves as potential complexion-improving options. But what do they all do what is the difference between them? And most importantly: which one should you use?

The best way to describe a BB cream is
that it is an all-in-one product for your skin. In one bottle, you get the benefits of two or three different products. This means that you save not only time, but also money.

 CC CREME What is color correction?
The "color correcting" magic of CC cream is less about matching your skin tone exactly and more about camouflaging problem areas. If you are a skincare enthusiast, you may be familiar with color theory and its applications to cosmetics. According to color theory, "correcting" your complexion is less about masking imperfections than it is about neutralizing redness and shading blue and purple shades. Is it good for oily skin? CC cream can work on oily skin - unlike a BB cream (beauty balm), CC cream tends to be less greasy and feels lighter on the skin. Does this mean it will work on your skin? It's hard to know unless you try. Is CC Cream Worth Trying? CC cream certainly isn't the only product you can try to even out your skin tone, when it comes to the health and appearance of your skin, there really is nothing better than drinking plenty of water, getting plenty of rest, and sticking to your skincare routine. Strengthens, moisturizes and protects. The end result of using a CC cream probably won't be much different than continuing to use your favorite foundation. https://WWW.HEALTHLINE.COM/HEALTH/BEAUTY-SKIN-CARE/WHAT-IS-CC-CREAM#BENEFITS THIRD: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLEAN, GREEN AND NATURAL BEAUTY PRODUCTS The movement has, in the past three years, gained momentum in the UK and has been Pushed into the mainstream thanks to A-list celebs Clean, Green, and Natural Beauty Today's consumers are smarter than ever. We are no longer a fan of quick fixes and bright colors We know all that glitters is not gold. Processed and fast foods have been replaced by clean eating. Inexpensive garments made in the workshop in an ethical and sustainable manner. It was only a matter of time that the beauty industry caught on... Ladies, I present to you the clean, green, and natural beauty movement. In essence when a brand claims to be "clean" their products are non-toxic and considered safe to use but they are not necessarily natural or green. Their focus will be on formulating products using ingredients that are proven to be safe. You'd think producing safe formulations wouldn't be a no-brainer, however, you'd be surprised at the number of products available in the mainstream beauty sector that contain toxic and carcinogenic ingredients. The clean cosmetics brand strives to formulate products that are not harmful to your health.

 ​Natural Brand Sourced From Nature These brands use botanical oils, extracts, butters, natural salts, and everything in between (including resins like frankincense). Natural brands really strive to be clean, as they often use carefully chosen natural, non-toxic ingredients (note - not all natural ingredients are safe!) and having one natural ingredient amidst a list of toxic synthetic ingredients doesn't make the brand/product stand out. naturally!

 Green beauty brands will focus on sourcing their ingredients and ensuring that their business practices are environmentally sustainable and socially responsible. Considered the “godmother of green beauty,” Sarita Korin defines it as “a commitment to the earth, to guarding its resources and the medicinal properties of plants, herbs, flowers, etc.” Essentially what this means is that you, as a consumer, have to decide which principles are most important to you when shopping for personal care products. Do you want natural and clean products or is their impact on the planet a more pressing issue? In a perfect world, I would like all three of these options but with limited choices and ever-increasing costs, I'm always striving for clean, natural alternatives and am conscious of trying to choose brands that are socially and environmentally responsible. How do I identify products that contain toxic ingredients? As a general rule, never rely on bold statements plastered on the front of beauty products. The government, our health services and clean eating initiatives have been advising consumers to read the ingredients on the food we buy for some time. Why not adopt this practice with our beauty products? Your first port of call when determining if a product is safe to use is its ingredient list.

INCI The European law governing cosmetics
is very strict and all products must be clearly labeled using the INCI format with ingredients listed in percentage order. The ingredient at the top of the list will make up the largest percentage of the formulation, etc. INCI is an internationally recognized set of systematic names used to identify cosmetic ingredients, often derived from their scientific or Latin roots. So, if a product claims to be enriched with Shea Butter, go to the list of ingredients. If you don't see BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (INCI name for Shea Butter) near the top, it's probably the tenth ingredient out of thirteen on the list. You know that the actual percentage of Shea Butter Shea in the overall composition is relatively low, so the properties of Shea Butter will have little, if any, benefit to the consumer. It can be overwhelming when trying to embrace the ethos of cleaner beauty for the first time, especially when faced with the INCI format's long list of ingredients. The most effective thing is to learn about some of the more toxic ingredients commonly used by conventional brands and scan lists of those ingredients. As consumers we understand that when we see “chemical-free” phrases and claims plastered across products, they are referring to industrial or harmful chemicals, but why can’t brands be accurate? Understanding the misnomer of such a common claim is the first step to identifying truly clean brands. Natural Should Be Better Consumers mistakenly assume that all natural ingredients are safe and better for your skin than synthetic ingredients. It is an accurate measure of balance. Vaseline and mineral oil are perfect examples of harmful natural ingredients. No one can deny the healing properties of nature. Essential oils, botanical butters, and salt crystals are all examples of natural ingredients that have been shown to spiritually uplift, moisturize, protect, rejuvenate skin, and soothe muscles. But nature's gifts are powerful and must be carefully formulated to create safe and effective formulations. There is an abundance of safe, natural ingredients out there that can address a plethora of concerns; Anti-aging, pollution and environmental protection, moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, detoxifying - the list is endless. And since much of what you put on your skin will be absorbed into your bloodstream, a natural formula is a good alternative. But naturally treat with caution. Those who are prone to allergies are more likely to react to natural materials. It's a simple analogy, many of us are allergic to nuts, pollen, and fruits/vegetables. The same principle applies to natural beauty products. Test before you invest Personal preference is always to opt for clean, natural ingredients in my beauty regimen but i have very sensitive skin, i understand that some essential oils do not agree with my skin and so i always do a patch test before committing to any new products. This would be my biggest recommendation for anyone who chooses to switch to natural formulations. Test before you invest! Don't be fooled by AQUA (WATER) A LITTLE JOB FOR YOU... DRAW YOUR FAVORITE MOISTURIZER / BODY LOTION. What is the first ingredient? Is it aqua (water)? Although water is completely natural and harmless, it is one of the cheapest and most widely used ingredients in personal body care. Let me share this with you, water plays a minimal role in providing true hydration when applied to your skin. Yes, by all means, drink the stuff up — in fact it's a must for healthy skin. But the water in the formulations has no actual purpose other than to enhance the formula! True hydration is best found in the form of oils, and yes that is expensive! GREENWASHING - WHAT EXACTLY? The GREENWASHING Index defines GREENWASHING as "when a company or organization spends more time and money claiming to be 'green' through advertising and marketing than actually implementing business practices that reduce environmental impact."

When recommending and choosing makeup, steer towards mineral-based brands
Makeup wipes are okay as a first step in cleansing your skin, but they should never replace water and facial cleanser for cleansing your skin
