Today's
editorial starts with the continuation of a debate that
started at a luncheon yesterday...and I quote the attendee:
"What's
the big deal about chemicals anyway? Who gives a rip if
it's toxic, as long as I look good, that's what matters!".
Because it's all connected
and comes back like a boomerang!
Now
the song is right when it sings " the circle of life",
and multi legged frogs in our Nation's lakes prove that
what goes in (or on ) goes through the body and out.
What we put on our skin goes
in. There can be consequences, either good or bad.
The truth about mineral oil
in your lotions is that it dehydrates the skin. No joke! So
the stuff you put on it to make it moist actually makes it
more dry. So guess what, you put more on. Now the bottle is
empty and you need more, so you buy more. So you put more
on and your skin gets more dry. We've been over this haven't
we?
In advertising the best campaign
ever ran that is still running is the word "repeat".
To sell more shampoo, the advertising company put the words
" lather, rinse, repeat". Instant doubling of sales.
Since cosmetics aren't regulated,
there is nothing stopping companies from getting the cheapest
ingredients and using them as they need.
Did you know that animals too
toxic for human or animal consumption are sent to the rendering
plant and made into "cosmetic grade" mineral oil
base for products?
Put that on your eyelid!
The average woman eats 7.8 pounds
of lipstick a year. That's a baby to give you reference and
that's where your lipstick goes when you put it on and then
an hour later it's gone.
Flat cats off the Interstate
and animals euthanized from the shelters end up at the rendering
plant and in our foundation and lipstick.
Now, can you understand why
I was riled up when someone flippantly makes the comment about
what's the big deal about chemicals anyway?
Our three most important and
open membranes, the eyes, the nose and the lips are all exposed
daily to our face wash, lotions, anti-aging treatments, cosmetics,
lip products. Our lymph nodes under our armpits are exposed
to body soap, aluminum and silica filled antiperspirants.
Weird and unexplainable cancers
are happening and it's my opinion because it's a daily routine
to cover our skin with toxic chemicals, and then wash them
down the drain and into our water supply.
If frogs wore shoes around the
Great Lakes, there would be a need for an increase in supply.
Thanks for listening and informing
yourself.
Normally I write to you about a new product, new technique,
cover favorite styles, but today it was just too important
to have a coaching moment for your health.
Thanks for being a part of Makeup
University.
