Make up for pregnant ladies
There is press coverage today advising pregnant women not to wear make up
Pregnant women warned off make-up - Health News, Health & Wellbeing - The Independent This is because it contains harmful chemicals which are absorbed into the body through the skin. "A 2007 study claimed British women absorb an average of 5lb of cosmetics a year through their skin and mouths" There are toiletries and cosmetics which are safe to use. You can find some here Make Up & Organic Cosmetics | Beauty Products | So Organic Reasons to Choose Aubrey Organic Products - Aubrey Organics UK PS - if it can harm your baby it can also harm you so cut down your poison intake even if you aren't pregnant |

Afraid I am a lost case with this Margaret, however, just spotted a product my friend in Spain uses from Neal's Yard based in Manchester.
She always had a bad skin when in her teens and loves their moisturiser .. she ordered on line, had them sent to my house and I finished up carting 7 pots in my suitcase to her in September. No wonder I was 8 kilos overweight ! ... :D |

Putting a bit of tutti on was about the only thing I could do to make me feel half decent when I was pregnant. |
Re: Make up for pregnant ladies
We are now aware that many toiletries and cosmetics damage health, so I am surprised that people still buy them, - there are unharmful versions on the market.(see links I posted).
More public awareness is needed, AND a ban on their use in the cosmetics industry. At one time we assumed our skin to be a barrier to the world - not so. The latest innovation in cosmetics is nanoparticles which penetrate even further, crossing the the blood brain barrier Use of nanoparticles in cosmetics questioned | Science | The Guardian http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ison-body.html ...... using humans as guinea pigs for untested technology |

I used to class it as a good day if I could be bothered doing my hair when i was heavily pregnant, let alone makeup.
Actually, not a lot has changed lol ;) |
