Did you see "Beauty Addicts: How Toxic Are You?" [49 mins long] on
Channel 4 TV last week?

If not, you can still view it free online for another 3 weeks, by
going to http://www.channel4.com/4od/index.html and downloading the
C4 "On Demand" free software which allows you to view past C4
programmes (free for 30 days after broadcasting). The downloading and
registering process is a bit protracted and tedious and you have to
survive a couple of video adverts before seeing the programme you
want, but at the end of the day a very useful free service.

A quicker option is to browse the programme info and additional
background resources at:

Basically this documentary reveals that "Every year we splash out
£6.4 billion on beauty products, but do we ever stop to think about
what's in them or what they could be doing to us? The beauty industry
spends £600 million a year marketing its products as pure, simple,
organic and natural, but what's the truth behind the hype? Presenter
Sarah Beeny meets two beauty-obsessed sisters who spend £1,000 a
month on their beauty regime, but they have no idea how many
chemicals are in their favourite products or whether these could be
damaging their health." - The documentary reveals the awful truth!
Sarah has the girls tested, and with the help of two experts, is able
to reveal the chemicals being stored in their bodies and then shows
them how to detox by removing chemicals from their lives. Then Sarah
meets two young mums to see whether the chemicals in the products
they use are being passed on to their babies, before taking to the
streets to find out whether parents really know what's in the special
baby products they are buying.

INNER BEAUTY
============
Inner beauty is not "phased" by physical defects, illness, ageing or
death. It survives all things and can be enjoyed by ourselves (=
enjoying "YOURSELF")- even when others are not appreciating us.
Unlike "prettiness", "attractiveness" or "physical perfection", Inner
Beauty does not attract undesirable attention. Quite the opposite in
fact! - Inner beauty attracts "more of the same" via the
universe's "Law of Attraction" i.e. people and experiences that
create an uplifting spiral of love, peace of mind and joy in our life.
