People are selling fake Jeffree Star Lipsticks and it could be seriously dangerous
It might seem like a bargain to shop the pricey celeb beauty lines elsewhere, but buying imitation cosmetics could have a very dangerous outcome. Dermatologist, Dr. Christine Choi Kim, says that counterfeit beauty products sometimes contain ingredients that should never be applied to your skin.
“Dangerous ingredients such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and cyanide have been found in counterfeit cosmetics,” she told Seventeen.com “There is no way to know what ingredients are used… Some may be completely harmless (just not genuine) and some could be potentially harmful.”
As if that wasn’t terrifying enough, toxic add-ins aren’t the only thing you need to worry about. Dr. Choi Kim says that bacteria can also grow in knock-off beauty supplies. “Some fake products contain toxic ingredients that may cause mild to severe skin reactions, while other fake products may not contain toxic ingredients but may be diluted with water or contaminated by bacteria… You can have allergic and irritant reactions, infections from products contaminated with bacteria, and chemical burn-type reactions.”
