Recent study showed that on average, women expose their face and body to 515 chemicals every day in form of beauty products. Beauty products contain dozens of chemicals and some of these chemicals could be harmful also.

The survey showed that women use up to 13 products each day and most of these products have more than 20 ingredients. Some chemicals present in these products could lead to cancer, hormone problems, skin conditions and allergies.

Study showed that perfumes were the biggest culprit as it has 250 components on an average. Some perfumes can have nearly 400 chemicals. Lipstick has on average has 33 ingredients, body lotion 32, mascara 29, and hand moisturizer, 11.

Charlotte Smith of Bionsen told, "Beauty regimes have changed dramatically from a simple 'wash & go' to daily fake tan applications, regular manicures, false lashes and hair extensions. The new 'wonder treatments' contain more chemicals to be able to achieve better results, which means that women are more at risk.”

Study also indicated that women aged 18 to 25 in the North West carry highest amount of chemicals and the women aged 36 to 44 in the South carry the least chemicals.
