In the News: FDA will finally start monitoring beauty products



Not so sure what unpronounceable chemicals are lurking in that drugstore mascara that you swipe on each morning before school? Makeup companies have been known to include ingredients that could be potentially harmful to your skin and face, and we’re none the wiser. But hopefully, that’s all about to change, as the U.S. Food & Drug Administration will finally begin to add beauty products to its list of monitored food and medicines.

 

According to Emily Orofino from refinery29.com, Europe has banned over 1,200 substances from beauty products, while the U.S. has limited only a shocking 10. Once the FDA begins to employ restrictions on makeup, the quality of beauty products should greatly improve and be much better for your skin and overall health.

 

Blog it out, babes. Do you think the FDA is a little late on the action?

It would make sense if they started banning earlier, since they're aware that companies use toxic ingredients in beauty and it's highly harmful to all those girls and women who use tons of makeup, so that was a big mistake. But you know what, at least they realized that and made the decision to monitor the products, so good for you U.S!
I live in Canada and I am pretty sure they regulate cosmetics as well. I should find out!

All my besties starting wearing makeup at their 12 bday. I'm almost 12 and really want but I want to at my 13th bday. The thing is my mum wants me to wait till I'm 14 and a half. She keeps asking me if I'm ok with that but I say I am cuz I don't want to get in a fight with her. Any ways to tell her that I want to be a lithe younger and wear makeup without something bad happening?

 

hey! You should tell your mom how you really feel. Don't be confrontational, but let her know that you actually would like to wear makeup soon. Who knows? she might be understandingSmile

So I have the same mascara as all of my friends (greatlash Maybelline) and for them it looks great and never clumps or smudges/flakes and makes their lashes look longer. For me, it clumps up a lot, makes me look like i'm just wearing mascara not looking like i have long lashes, and flakes and smudges so much during the day by time i come home i kinda look like a raccoon. I think i have like an issue with mascara or something, this happens with every mascara I've gotten so far!! What do you think I should use/do?

 

Hey girl! Maybe try a different application process. Ask your friends how they apply mascara, and see if they can teach you. Or, try wiggling the wand back and forth in a sideways motion from the roots of your lashes out, rather than just brushing it on. Hopefully that helps! xx
