Chemicals in make-up are absorbed by the skin and can be harmful to you - and to your baby if you are pregnant.

Body absorbs 5lb of make-up chemicals a year - Telegraph

Extract:

"Women who use make-up on a daily basis are absorbing almost 5lb of chemicals a year into their bodies, it is claimed.

Many use more than 20 different beauty products a day striving to look their best while nine out of 10 apply make-up which is past its use by date.


Dependence on cosmetics and toiletries means that a cocktail of 4lb 6oz of chemicals a year is absorbed into the body through the skin.

Some synthetic compounds involved have been linked to side effects ranging from skin irritation to premature ageing and cancer.

Richard Bence, a biochemist who has spent three years researching conventional products, said: "We really need to start questioning the products we are putting on our skin and not just assume that the chemicals in them are safe."

If a woman is pregnant, any harmful chemicals from make-up, etc is likely to harm her unborn baby too. - See http://www.mindfully.org/Health/2002/Sexy-Baby-Phthalate-Poison.htm
