Lipsticks Are Toxic, I Wish I Knew It A Lot Sooner

#1 Ages Of The "Doom"

Where Are We Now?

It's undeniable that lipstick has become one of the most important daily essentials for women, to a point where nowadays you can rarely see a lady walking on a street without having their lipstick on.

Somehow, I always struggle to understand how lipstick managed to secretly sneak into ladies' daily routines without being doubted about its potential health risks.

Perhaps this is just another shenanigans set up by the industries. People always give away their "blind trust" so easily, as they believe everything legally sold in the market is considered "safe".

"Medicine" Of Beauty

The idea of coloring one's lips to appear more attractive can date back to Cleopatra time, which was about 20 centuries ago. Lipsticks were considered one of the essential cosmetics for a woman's sex appeal.

"A woman without paint is like food without salt." - Plautus (254-184 B.C.)

Back in 500 B.C., crushed mulberries were used as rouge in Greek whereas Roman women made lipsticks from ochre clays. People simply couldn't resist as they believed it made them look younger and healthier.
