Do You Have Looks to Die For? ? Beauty, Health and Fitness

Natural makeup has been around since the start of time. There is documented evidence that cosmetics have been used since 4,000 BC. However the Romans and Ancient Egyptians created cosmetic products using materials with dangerous properties like mercury and white lead. So in the past 6,000 years has anything changed? Or should we view natural makeup as just a fad?

What has changed in the makeup industry?

Basically nothing! Of course it?s now much easier to buy makeup products and many cosmetic companies would have us believe that all their cosmetics are perfectly healthy. It?s also become very popular to label makeup and skincare products with having ?natural extracts?, ?contains organic ingredients?. But take a look at the ingredient lists on your make up and skincare packaging. Do all the ingredients sound ?natural? and ?organic?? In essence ? not much has really changed in the production of cosmetic and makeup products. Companies are still using dangerous properties in makeup and cosmetics. Did you know that 99% of the skin care and cosmetic products on the market just now have never been evaluated for safety by the US Food & Drug Administration?

Toxins are still used in makeup!

For example lead is still found in some red lipsticks! (So has much really changed in the makeup industry in 6,000 years?) As you know lead is a toxin and can cause serious health problems. But you may say ? ?I only use a tiny amount of this on me, surely the small amount of this can?t cause me any health problems.? Of course that is a valid argument. Let?s use an example to illustrate what happens over years: when you are visiting a museum where classic works of art are on display you will probably be restricted to use a flash to photograph paintings. Why? Because the constant exposure will over the years affect the painting. By the time a woman is 40 she has probably been using makeup for 25 years.
