About this listen

Hansaji shares 5 harmful makeup products you must stop using and the healthier, natural alternatives that enhance your glow safely. Most people read food labels but ignore what’s inside their beauty products. However, every layer of foundation, lipstick, or sunscreen gets absorbed through the skin and impacts your hormones, brain, and immunity.Key insights:• Lipsticks may contain lead, cadmium, and chromium — switch to beetroot, hibiscus, or pomegranate-based tints.• Compact powders with talc can clog pores and dry skin — use arrowroot or sandalwood powder instead.• Waterproof mascaras contain petroleum polymers — replace with aloe vera and castor oil.• Chemical sunscreens disrupt hormones — opt for natural UV protection with aloe vera, sesame oil, and Vitamin C-rich foods.• Nail polishes often have the toxic trio — go for water-based nail colors and nourish nails with coconut oil and lemon.Hansaji also shares simple daily habits — cleansing before sleep, weekly no-makeup days, and yogic practices for glowing skin. True beauty, she reminds us, begins with balance — in your body, mind, and the choices you make.
