3種有毒的化妝品

Long have women and men sought after an ethereal glow and eternally young skin. Many have professed a willingness to die for it and many actually ‘have’ in the search for a miracle cosmetic. Throughout the ages we have unknowingly slathered our complexions in a nefarious barrage of deadly chemicals and taken lethal doses of beauty medications. Here are some of the most shocking and scandalous cosmetic disasters through the centuries. Check out the 3 poisonousbeauty products once used –

男性和女性一直以來都在追求柔美的亮澤光感和永葆年輕的肌膚。很多人坦誠願意爲之獻出生命，還有很多人在尋找能帶來奇蹟的化妝品。多年來，不知不覺之中，我們爲了增亮膚色而使用了大量致命的化學物質和美容藥物。這裏是一些幾個世紀以來最令人震驚的化妝品災難。讓我們看一下過去用過的3種有毒化妝品。

Based Eye Paint

1.含鉛眼線刷

In the Egyptian Era, women and men alike longed for a dramatic accentuated eye. They achieved this sought-after-look by meticulously tracing a thick line of lead based eye paint around the entire eye. Over time the poisonous concoction would most certainly cause severe eye irritation. Yet, this eye paint also had the potential to bring on mental degeneration and even death if one were so vain to use it every day.

在埃及時代，人們都渴求一雙引人注目的深邃眼眸。因此，他們細緻地用含鉛眼線刷在眼部周圍畫上粗粗的線條。經常使用這種有毒的調和物一定會對眼部產生刺激性危害。而且，如果一個人每天都虛榮地塗抹這種眼部塗料，它也會帶來潛在的心理退化甚至是死亡。

Laced Face Cream

2.含鉛面霜

In the Roman Era lead laced face creams were all the rage for fixing any and every complexion ailment. One of the most poisonous beauty products of all time, lead cream masks also became wildly popular in this era. Unfortunately, the ingredients in the cream couldn’t have been good for the skin. It was the crushed lead they had used to create the white color in the creams that caused it to be poisonous. The ingredients in the face cream without the lead powder were basic. The elements the creams contained, such as animal fats (similar to modern day lanolin) and starches, where actually healthy for the skin. Yet over time the lead laced cream would take its toll on the user causing unsightly facial sores and lead poisoning.

在羅馬時代，含鉛面霜被狂熱地用來調理面部。毒性最強的化妝品之一——含鉛面膜也在這一時期大爲流行。不幸的是，面霜裏的成分對肌膚沒有益處。那些用於美白的鉛粉是有毒性的。在面霜中，除了鉛粉，其他成分都是基礎性成分。比如動物脂肪（與現代的羊毛脂相似）和凝膠，都是對肌膚十分有益的。長時間使用含鉛面霜會對人產生危害，導致臉部潰瘍甚至鉛中毒。

Lipstick or Lead Lipstick?

3.紅色脣膏還是鉛脣膏？

This is the one that hits closest to home. Believe it or not many red lipsticks today still have a deadly secret. It’s one of the most poisonous beauty products that was used and is still used today. In 2007 hundreds of our favorite red hues were pulled off of the market for containing high levels of lead. The lead in the lip hues are measured by parts per million, which may make this seem like a mute fact. But in actuality the consumption of the minuscule amounts of lead overtime builds up in the human body creating a plethora of health issues. Hopefully, after the find in 2007 the FDA has stepped up and is heavily regulating and testing to ensure our safety.

這是很普遍的化妝品。信不信由你，現在的紅色脣膏仍有一個致命的祕密。它是一直以來最有毒性的化妝品之一。2007年，我們最喜愛的紅色脣膏因爲含鉛量過高被退出市場。紅色脣膏的鉛含量爲百萬分之幾，看起來好像頗有爭議。實際上，極小量的鉛元素在人體內日積月累也會誘發很多健康隱患。有希望的是，在2007年的結果公開後，美國食品及藥物管理局有關部門介入，通過加強管理和監測來確保我們的健康安全。
