SKIN PROBLEMS: NAIL POLISH AND MAKE-UP

Allergies Add comments

Believe it or not, nail polish can be the reason your skin is breaking out randomly despite sticking to the programs, drinking sufficiently and doing the breathing and mental relaxation exercises. Nail polish contains many toxic chemicals, formaldehyde being the principal one. When we are busy concentrating we tend to hold our chin or put our fingers somewhere else near our mouth. The heat from our breath causes a liquefying and vaporising of the chemicals in the nail polish and when we touch the other areas of our face, as we frequently do while concentrating at work or studies, these liquefied chemicals cause a localised inflammation of the skin. Because face touching is such a subconscious thing, I recommend no nail polish until the skin is completely healed.

It goes without, saying that you must be very careful with make-up, foundations and skin care ranges; also mascara and eyeshadow. Some people are so sensitive they have to stop using them completely during the period of treatment. Touching the eyes, as so many people do when concentrating, can cause mascara to run or to adhere to the finger. Touching the face with the mascara can cause the skin to flare up at the point of contact. Touching the eyes with vaporised nail polish can cause conjunctivitis in the eye touched (bloodshot, itching and weeping). All these symptoms occur at a time when all the other symptoms of allergy are disappearing in response to the program.
