1. Should I use lipstick for pregnant women?
Makeup is one of the beauty steps of women, helping them become more beautiful and confident. However, during pregnancy, some cosmetic products can affect the health of the fetus, including lipstick. Not only do most lipsticks contain at least some amount of lead, but many brands of lipstick and lip gloss also contain up to eight other metals, a new study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives says. cadmium, aluminum, cobalt, titanium, manganese, chromium, copper and nickel. (Aluminum keeps lipstick color from flowing into wrinkles around the mouth. Titanium oxide is a whitener that can turn reds pink. The rest can be unwanted contaminants.)
The culprit. The worst when it comes to hidden metals is the high lead content, which gives lipstick a nicer, glossier, shimmery color. Lip balms with lighter, more translucent colors are safer. In particular, research shows that many women including pregnant women wear lipstick more than 20 times a day. During that time, these metals will be absorbed into your skin and tissues, and will likely be digested while you are eating and drinking.
According to experts, the amount of lead and other metals in lipstick is quite small, but lead tends to accumulate in the body, and the CDC admits that no level of lead is safe, especially for pregnant women because the mother can pass lead poisoning to her baby during pregnancy. Plus, too much lead in your body can increase your risk of miscarriage or cause you to go into labor early. It can also harm the development of your baby's brain, kidneys, and nervous system, or cause learning or behavioral problems in your child later on.
