"The Story of Cosmetics"
Day 17:
This video is a continuation of "The Story of Stuff" that I blogged about in Day 16. This video goes in depth about cosmetics, their effects on your body, and their effects on your self-image.
"These are super toxic- both in their ingredients and in the message they send about what beauty is." Annie Leonard is referring to hair relaxers and skin whitening creams.
Many of the ingredients that you lather on your body everyday are extremely toxic. They can be carcinogens or neurotoxins.
They also send a harmful message to their users: that they have to be faithfully dependent on these products to be beautiful.
My goal for you today is to watch this video. If you are interested, do a little research on the products and chemicals you put on your body daily.
You will be extremely surprised as to what a label pleasing to the eye can so easily cover up.
