'Beauty products such as lipstick, lotion, foundation, mascara add up to 515 chemicals on a woman’s face every day, says a study.' (see link). Is it really worth the risks to appear beautiful?

I don't think so Suby. Besides soap and water I use only the following on my face and body....baby lotion after a shower and hand lotion on my hands during the day each time I wash my hands. That's it. No nothing else at all! Happy Thursday! :)

Appearing beautiful is one thing and living healthy is another. I know of all the dangers and hardly use any cosmetica, maybe 4 times per year overall, just when special occasions call for it.

That is scary, you can get natural cosmetics, i'm glad I don't wear it much! :0)

I think it is. I'd rather live a shorter life and be beautiful then live a longer one and just look normal. Although I've been told i look very pretty without make-up i still prefer to be one step up and wear make-up.

That definitely gave me something to think about!
-
No it's not worth it. That's why I use natural products with no harmful ingredients.
-
It is not worth at all. After all most are looking for natural beauty. But the industry is huge and the market as usual rules the poor people.

It is to me. I don't think I'm a particularly vain person, I don't tan because of the health risks but I'm not going to worry about using makeup. I think the risks must be minimal or we'd be hearing a lot more about it. +5 Suby

Yes it is worth it!!!!

I have always been against makeup. It gives women a certain "phoney" painted look. My wife of 34 years has never worn makeup, and I have no trouble loving her!
-
I have never really used make up. My skin doesn't like it.

No its not worth it. Sure you can look alittle prettier for alittle while, but you still wake up with the same face and see it after you get in the shower...so whats the point. But then again when you turn 50 and did a good 30 years with chemicals eating away at your face...and you look 70...well, is it still worth it.
