The study aims to evaluate cosmetic use behaviors, safety practices, and the prevalence of adverse effects among female university students.
Cross-sectional survey involving 803 female students from An-Najah National University (June 2023–May 2024).
Data collected included demographics, usage patterns, safety behaviors, and self-reported side effects via a validated questionnaire.
Multivariable logistic regression identified independent predictors of adverse reactions.
31.6% reported skin irritation and 26.1% reported acne as adverse effects.
Daily cosmetic use increased risk of adverse effects (aOR = 2.47, 95% CI 1.52–4.01, p = 0.001).
Failing to remove makeup before sleep significantly increased risk (aOR = 2.16, 95% CI 1.25–3.72, p = 0.006).
