The article points out that over three hundred chemicals have been discovered in humans over the past seventy-two years that were never there before, and explains that we absorb chemicals in through our skin. It lists different problems that can form, including hormonal imbalances, hyper-sensitivity, obesity, and cancer.
We all know that some beauty procedures are bad for you, like tanning, but I never thought that my foundation might be harming me. I certainly hope that makeup brands put more effort into making their lipsticks and lip gloss safe, because the average woman consumes six pounds of lipstick in her lifetime. Now, I'm trying to suggest that we all need to go shopping right now and replace all of your makeup with natural products. That would be a waste of money, especially if you have a lot of a product left. I do think that as I run out of a certain product, I should look into a natural substitute for it.
What do you think about natural vs. synthetic makeup?

I read the "The Ugly Side of Cosmetics".
You have no opinion, no pictures, and your articles are dry. You're just trying to imitate other writers on the blog. You utterly failed, not going to lie.
ReplyDeleteThere may be "over three hundred chemicals have been discovered in humans over the past seventy-two years that were never there before" - but these wont all have come from makeup. Many will have come from things such as radiation - but that would be far too much detail to be discussed, as I only touched on it briefly during my 2nd year at university.
ReplyDeleteI think you could have analysed a bit better for your article and included some better points than saying "look for a natural substitue".
You also mention tanning as a 'procedure' is bad for you - it is if you use sunbeds or don't take necessary precautions when out in the sun, but using fake tan isn't bad for your health.
In general your post needs more background research, sorry but it's just my opinion.
I am sorry to say this, but this post is not that good, and I find it a bit boring. Some pictures would liven it up, also some better research would help as well. Sorry...
ReplyDeleteThe article is a little dry as anon explained before. Even though, you didn't utterly fail.... you see your article was like an advertisement for another article and in the end enhanced with a small advice...you should have filled in a better summary. But you were very lazy to so you just wrote the link not even with a link system!!! But I don't believe 4 consecutive negative comments would make your day, so your style is pretty fine. :)
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't bad but it appeared unappealing and you should of put the link in a clickable link form rather than post the whole link, it looks tacky and lazy even though I know you aren't.
ReplyDeleteYour post wasn't horrible. I actually liked it since before the trial writers, we didn't have any posts at all. Pictures would have been nice and you could have been a lot more in depth. And also, check your facts. "[The} average woman consumes six pounds of lipstick in her lifetime." is an urban myth and actually false.
ReplyDeleteWell I'd like to say that not all tanning procedures are wrong...I have heard recently that tanning beds with UVB rays are healthy and increase the vitamin D in your body and also spray tan that is in beaty salons(it gives a chocolate skin effect and also smells like it).
ReplyDeleteNatural makeup is much better! Not only is it better for you, but it gives a great feeling and looks better! :) And great post Pandora! :) I just love when you post!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your effort but this article bored me. I wanted to give you some constructive advice but I guess a lot of people already did. Although the article was boring you did touch on an interesting topic!
ReplyDeleteThis would have made such a great topic if you had done some more research. Show some personality while writing! (:
ReplyDeleteTerrible post.
