5 fashion mistakes that may cost you your health |

Fashion can often feel like a fairytale, where you get to step onto your own runway and become your own muse. While experimenting with outfits and beauty looks can be fun, many of us unknowingly make fashion and beauty mistakes that could harm our health over time. Let’s take a look at five common fashion and beauty mistakes that you should avoid immediately.
Excessively tight-fitted outfits
Skinny jeans, bodycon dresses, and skin-tight clothing were signature fashion trends of the 2000s that still influence many Gen Z fashion choices today. While the popularity of skinny jeans has waned, form-fitting styles, including tight body shapers designed to accentuate a slim figure, continue to be favored. However, these clothing choices can sometimes restrict blood flow and put pressure on blood vessels, potentially leading to issues like deep vein thrombosis. Additionally, such tight fits can contribute to discomfort, including heartburn or acid reflux.

Coloured contact lenses
Contact lenses are heavily used by people across the globe. However, for a fashionable change, people have also shown interest in wearing colourful contacts that usually create an obstacle in the oxygen supply to the cornea and could lead to issues like hypoxia. Tacky colourful lenses can also lead to redness, blurry vision, swelling, and even corneal damage.
Pointy heels
Many doctors have long advised women to avoid wearing pointy heels on a daily basis, as they can lead to long-term issues with the lower back, neck, and knees, and negatively affect overall posture. Women in their forties, particularly those experiencing the onset of menopause, should be especially cautious. The changes in bone density during this time can make muscles more susceptible to strain, and prolonged wear of high heels can exacerbate these effects, potentially causing discomfort and long-term health issues.
False eyelashes
There are ways to grow your eyelashes naturally, which would require some time, but impatient human beings try to make their eyes look bigger with false lashes, which come with adhesive that often leads to infections or allergies. They also weaken your natural eyelash hair follicles and can scrape off the cornea, which can be painful and a breeding ground for bacteria.

Wearing heavy sequined outfits
Unknown to many, heavy sequined outfits might bring out the glam diva inside you, but they would surely disrupt your endocrine system. Sequins are made of Bisphenol A and Phthalates, which notoriously interfere with your hormonal balance and can cause reproductive and developmental issues as well in the long run.
