Is your lipstick the reason for delay in period

News India Live, Digital Desk: Effect on Hormonal Balance: Many questions are often raised about the relationship between women health and cosmetic products. One such question is whether the bad or harmful lipstick can affect the menstrual cycle of women? According to health experts, the quality of lipstick does not cause period delay, but harmful chemicals present in some cosmetic products can spoil the hormonal balance, which may cause irregularity in the period. It is important to understand which products are unsafe and when they should be thrown away.

Cosmetic products and hormonal health:
Experts say that the delay or irregularity of the period is mainly associated with hormonal imbalance. Although bad or expired lipstick is less likely to have a direct effect on the period (this may cause problems like skin infection or allergies), some cosmetic products may contain endocrine disorganization chemicals (endocrine disintegrating chemicals) that interfere with the body’s hormonal systems. These chemicals can mimic, block or change the body’s natural hormones, which can affect various physical processes including the menstrual cycle.

When to throw away your lipstick (or any cosmetic product)?
According to a doctor, any cosmetic product including lipstick should be thrown immediately if it shows two main signs:

Smell or bad odor: If your lipstick causes strange or chemical odor, it means that bacteria have flourished in it or its elements have deteriorated. In this case, using it can cause skin infection or allergies.

Changes in texture or color: Lipstick texture has changed, it has become sticky, has rash in it, or its color has changed, so it is also an indication that the product has deteriorated. Applying poor texture lipstick can damage the lips and also deteriorate. Additionally, always check the expiry date on the packaging of the product and never use it after that date.

It is important to note that it is very important to store makeup products with cleanliness and keep changing them from time to time. Products like lipstick, kajal, mascara are directly exposed to the skin, so it is essential for both skin and overall health to take care of their purity and freshness.
