How to Go Green: Women's Personal Care
[by Team TreeHugger]
Personal care is a big subject, but basically we can take it to mean the caring for our general appearance: cleansing and cosmetics, haircare, skincare, makeup, hair removal and, of course, that time of the month most women deal with. We are bombarded daily with the coaxing of the worldwide cosmetics industry as it tries to sell us products which guarantee to make us look younger, thinner, and more gorgeous.
Sadly, these products are not regulated to a level that would make most people feel very safe. Many of these products contain ingredients with dubious implications (many of which are petroleum derived), as well as potentially toxic agents that are not even included on the label. There are, however, easy and affordable alternatives available to every consumer.
This guide aims to give you some general information, to point you in the right direction and inspire you to make a few small changes in your own routine. If we are going to invest so much time and money in our personal care and appearance, doesn't it makes sense to do so in a productive way that doesn't harm ourselves or our environment? Read on for more tips.
