Is this product OK to use?
Wednesday, December 16, 2009 | Posted by Admin | No CommentsThere’s one question we always get asked: Is this product OK to use? So many products, diets and lifestyles are the next big thing. Books, magazines and TV – even private therapists – try to give us the next easy fix by telling us how to live our lives. We’ve grown to accept this.
Guerrilla Beauty is not about telling you whether a product is “OK to use,” until the next fad comes along!
The mission of Guerrilla Beauty is to educate and enlighten all you wonderful, beautiful, intelligent and talented women. And you are all wonderful! We live in this crazy world where there is still a low proportion of young women studying sciences. Where the useful science (like how to make face cream and jam) is only on the higher-level paper of the Triple-Science GCSE syllabus – which only a minority of teenagers will ever study!
Each of us needs to decide what constitutes “OK to use.” What’s OK for one person may not be the same for another! Do you want to avoid sinister-sounding chemicals and allergens? Do you want to minimise your carbon footprint? Or minimise your impact on the planet (the two are not the same!). Are you concerned about animal, or even human, cruelty? Do you want to support your local community, farming and industry? Or do you just want to save some money and reduce the time you spend in front of the mirror?
Enjoy your winter holidays and have a think about this – we’ll be back in the New Year with ideas on to how to acheive these goals. Just remember: you are in control and you decide what’s OK for you.
