 There are a small number of potential dangers concerning the use of cosmetics. One of them is the use of old mascara. Some mascara contains an ingredient that breaks down to produce formaldehyde. The formaldehyde averts the growth of bacteria. Aged mascara, conversely, may no longer be producing formaldehyde, allowing bacteria to multiply. Blindness is one possible result if the bacteria-laden mascara gets into the eye. Consequently, purchasers of mascara should consider buying only the smaller sized containers of mascara to force the purchaser to buy new mascara more often.
Another danger includes flammable hairspray, sharing cosmetics with others possible spreading disease and the application of cosmetics while driving, among other dangers. There is a very famous case of the dangers of cosmetics. Buddy Ibsen was originally cast as the "Tin Man" in the “The Wizard of Oz”. Aluminum dust was used for "tin" makeup. As the result of an allergic reaction, he was hospitalized and almost died, and Jack Haley replaced him in the movie, only this time the aluminum dust was added to a paste. There is also criticism to the function of cosmetics, if not used in drama, one does not need the look of faultlessness and should accept one's physical features as they are.
The most common harm from cosmetics is from scratching the eye with a mascara stick. Eye infections can result if the scratches go untouched. These infections can lead to ulcers on the cornea (clear covering of the eye), loss of lashes, or even blindness. To act carefully, never try to apply mascara while riding in a car, bus, train or plane. To share make-up with somebody can also lead to serious problems. Cosmetic brushes and sponges lift up bacteria from the skin. And if you wet brushes with saliva, the problem can deteriorate. Washing your hands before using make-up will help avert this problem. Sleeping with eye make-up on can cause problems as well. If mascara flakes into your eyes while you sleep, you might wake up with itching, bloodshot eyes, infections or eye scratches. So be certain to get rid of all make-up before going to bed. Cosmetic products that come in aerosol containers also can be a danger. For instance, it is risky to use aerosol hairspray near heat, fire or while smoking. Until hairspray is completely dry, it can grasp fire and cause serious blaze. Flames connected with hairsprays have caused injuries and death. Aerosol sprays or powders can be a resource of lung damage as well on condition they are deeply gasped into the lungs.
