Scratch and sniff beneath the surface: Beauty is skin deep, but chemicals go deeper

We've all heard people say, "You are what you eat." So how come people don't say, "You are what you bathe in"?

Of course, looking fly and feeling fabulous are great. Here comes the caveat: as long as they don't cause more harm than good. PLEASE look at the Environmental Working Group's profiles for tested beauty products and their index of concern by clicking on the title link. Fellas, this means you, too. Unless you don't bathe, brush teeth, scent or moisturize. But then, if you did none of those things, your index of concern would be higher hygiene-wise!

The more we choose wisely, the more we influence what others dictate can go on and in our bodies. Be a fly and fabulous vigilante!
