Abstract:
Cosmetic use is increasingly common among female college students, influenced by sociocultural and peer factors. Therefore, it is of interest to assessed knowledge, attitudes, behaviours and health implications related to cosmetic use among 382 female arts college students at Chrompet, Chennai, India. Most participants began using cosmetics after age 15, primarily for skincare, with social media being the main influence. Common adverse effects reported were hair damage, skin itching, and colour change. The need for educational interventions and regulatory measures to promote safe cosmetic practices is needed.
