I was in the shower after my dance school, and by chance a woman in the closet next to me did the same position. He carried a basket full to the brim with shampoo, conditioner, liquid soap and shaving cream.

Supported a leg on a chair and began to paint her toenails before a clear starting point, followed by two layers of bright red. Then he opened a third bottle, and painted on a coat dries quickly. For his final, spritzed them with a heavy dose of perfume.

I was spellbound as I Watched this woman routine and tried not to look. "Wow!" I thought to myself. "What many people use this stuff so much?" Iperhaps one third of this amount are thinking about me every day how, But, because I have not really had time to read labels and look what was in the products I put on my skin.

Therefore, environmental groups like Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, Teens for Safe Cosmetics and the Women's Environmental Network (WEN) complain that skin creams, shampoos, perfumes and other cosmetics and perfumery products containing chemicals that man can not wash the body. They claim the chemicals accumulate, a process to collect and gradually increasing the concentration of pollutants in our tissues. There are signs that this could be detrimental. Healthadvocacy groups say that when it comes to chemicals that affect human health and the environment, "prevention is better than cure" should be the guiding principle.
