Apparently I am very ignorant when it comes the potential health dangers of cosmetics:(
I used to be a make-up artist when I was younger and I still enjoy painting on a face when I'm stepping out
My SIL has just sent me a barrage of emails about the carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) in moisturisers, make-up and perfumes. There is all this information about lead in lipsticks, chromium and iron in eye shadows, parabens in moisturiser and some other dangerous stuff in anti-perspirants. All of these ingredients can apparently cause cancer and/or infertility.
What do you girls make of this? Do you think we should be concerned about what's in our make-up and toiletries? Will you stop using make-up and your favourite moisturiser after hearing about this?
I am personally scared now! I don't want to stop using make-up or my anti-frizz shampoo, but I am going to feel a lot less safe putting them on my body now.
Am I worrying over nothing? More importantly, are you worried?

AIBU to panic about my personal care and grooming products now?
