Recent findings link frequent use of beauty products to increased asthma risk, possibly due to hormone-disrupting chemicals.
Women who frequently use beauty and skin care products face a 19 percent higher risk of developing asthma later in life, according to a recent study that tracked nearly 40,000 American women for more than a decade.
The research, published in Environment International, adds to growing concerns about hormone-disrupting chemicals commonly found in everyday personal care items—from lipstick and blush to cuticle cream and artificial nails.
