We usually do certain mistakes that produce toxic effects in cosmetics or enhance their toxicity. Some of these important mistakes are:

- Storing cosmetics in inappropriate conditions.
- Mixing ingredients without instructions from chemist.
- Using uncleaned tools like brushes, black head removers etc.
- Inappropriate base to your skin type
We can avoid or manage such damage by following precautions:
- Test application of every new product (on the little area, first)
- Cleansing of tools properly
