If you've seen any cool beauty products of any kind, I'd love to know about them. Thanks.
Answer
Many beauty & hair products now have LABEL INGREDIENTS and DISCLAIMERS, specially makeup, they are required to put labels so consumers are aware to watch for chemicals: DBP, TITANIUM, MERCURY, HYDROQUINONE, formaldehyde or Toluene solvent, that causes cancer or harm us. In other words, less is MORE.
Women in the study with highest concentrations of these chemicals, called phthalates, in their bodies were more likely to have diabetes than women with lowest concentrations, the researchers said.
Phthalates are found in a variety of products, including nail polish, hair sprays, soaps and shampoos. The findings suggest that phthalates could disrupt blood sugar metabolism, said study researcher Tamarra James-Todd, of Brigham and Women's Hospital's Division of Women's Health.
Phthalates are present in certain medications and medical devices, and its possible women with diabetes have higher phthalate concentrations in their bodies due to the use of these medications or devices, James-Todd said.
James-Todd and colleagues analyzed information from 2,350 women ages 20 to 80 who took part in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 2001 and 2008. As part of the survey, participants underwent physical exams and provided urine samples.

Reporting Bad Reactions From Cosmetics
COSMETICS - UNAPPROVED no ingredient labels:
One color additive of particular concern is kohl. Also known as al-kahl, kajal, or surma, kohl is used in some parts of the world to enhance the appearance of the eyes, but is unapproved for cosmetic use in the United States. Kohl consists of salts of heavy metals, such as antimony and lead. It may be tempting to think that because kohl has been used traditionally as an eye cosmetic in some parts of the world, it must be safe. However, there have been reports linking the use of kohl to lead poisoning in children.*
Lead on Lipstick: According to a 2009 study conducted by the FDA, every one of 22 lipstick samples tested contained lead, ranging from 0.9 ppm to 3.06 ppm. Though the amounts are small, they can have a big impact on the long-term health of women who apply lipstick every day (and sometimes multiple times per day). The agency's weak regulations for cosmetics allow up to 20 ppm lead in cosmetic colorants, but that doesn't account for other potential sources. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetic has found that lead can be a contaminant of petroleum-based ingredients or of minerals, such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
Lead and eight other metals are found in lipsticks and lip glosses commonly sold in the United States, some at levels that could raise potential health concerns, according to a new report.
Researchers measured levels of cadmium, chromium, titanium and other metals in 32 lip products purchased from drugstores and department stores in California.
They detected lead in 75 percent of the products, according to the report. Half of the samples contained lead at concentrations higher than the maximum allowed by the Food and Drug Administration in candy likely to be consumed by small children, the researchers said. 5-2-13

whats a beauty editor?
Gabby
Answer
A beauty editor, also commonly known as a beauty writer, is the person who composes and edits articles and columns on beauty industry trends and ways for women and men to be fashionable and attractive. She may work for a newspaper, magazine or a Web site. Smaller publications often require a beauty editor to also work as a fashion or style editor or incorporate these topics into her beauty writing.
Beauty can be normally be achieved in a variety of ways. A beauty editor commonly varies her topics to include health, exercise and attitude, all of which generally affect a personâs attractiveness. To appeal to a wide audience, her writing typically provides information for various age groups of men and women.

Okay for P.E I have to write summaries on health or fitness articles. I need two of them but I cannot find anything interesting, I mean, how am I supposed to do a summary on "Celebrity fitness routines" like can some give me interesting ones? It would mean alot. Thanks.
Answer
The site in the resource box is on preparation for a figure competition. This is for fit women - NOT a beauty competition. It includes a number of articles which you may be able to summarise.

When do women start looking old?
Kristine R
I'm 24 and though I know every woman is different, I'm wondering about what age in general women start looking old. Like start getting wrinkles, saggy, etc. Is it 30 ish? Ty.
Answer
Well it all depends on how well you maintain your health. What you place into your body shows up on the outside. If you eat healthy, you will look and feel healthy.
When women age before their time, it is normally because they hang out very late at the clubs or other related types of late entertainment. Smoking and drinking brings on the wrinkles (believe it, or not). Wearing too much make up and not taking proper care of your skin is a big no, no.
Depression and worrying alot about personal matters can age you drastically!! Simple things to do to maintain your beauty and health:
Eat right early in life and continue doing so. Exercise, you don't have to become a fanatic, just walk with a friend through the park or something. But move your body otherwise, in time, fat will accumulate and remain in a particular area.
And no, I know lot's of women from ages 25 to 49 in different occupations who look alot younger than women who are in their early 20's. It is a matter of Genetics too! You are too young to worry your pretty little head about things like this...
just eat right, exercise, and wear little make up, because cosmetics actually changes your skin texture, in other words, it can age you! The cosmetic industry will not tell you this, but it is so true, that is why you do not see models wearing make up outside of their working profession!
Hope this bit of info helped you out..

I have a feeling that when it comes to health and beauty women will still find a way to pay for these things. Am I wrong? Any advice?
Answer
It is not advisable, but if you have the funds and really want to do it, go for it.

Is it okay to mention in the resume the beauty website I own?
shyone
My website is all about beauty and woman's health. It contains reviews of cosmetics, astro stuff and many other things that deal with women's personal development including psychology. Usually, I do not say anything about my own personal life over there. But yeah, I do mention my opinions on cosmetics stuff. Is it okay to include address of such site in the resume?
Answer
Only if you make profit on it, or it has a decent amount of followers (over 100 for sure).
If so, then you have a strong attribute to add to your resume! (:
