Since having a baby in 2005, I have become keenly aware of all the unnecessary chemical exposure we have in the normal course of our lives. I have made many changes to my family's diet, methods for cleaning, laundering, etc. One area that is of particular interest to me is moving toward all natural cosmetic solutions. I have found several things that work well for me and I am considering trying to make and sell a small line of natural bath and beauty products.
I'd like to know before investing significant time and money how many people are out there that are also interested in this and would want to try my products. Most of the things I use on myself and my child are comprised of essential oils in a base as well as mixed with edible household ingredients for cosmetic/beauty purposes (hair and skin cleansing and moisture, makeup remover, skin exfoliation, bath perfumes/soaks).
Who else is interest in this kind of alternative to standard bath/beauty solutions? Feedback appreciated.
Feedback on All Natural Cosmetic/Beauty Products?
I love natural products, but they tend to be quite expensive. If you could pull off natural AND affordable, you'd likely do well.

Is cosmetic breast , pectoral, calf, chin, buttock silicone/saline implantation right?
Just wondering were we are going with this cosmetic/plastic surgery thing. Are we using surgery to alter pyhsical appearance and thus our perceived body image, and is this not more do psychological rather than physical issues?

If you're a guy, you'll just end up looking like a tranny.
Reply:In some cases, it is used to alter and not for any genuine health concerns
Reply:No
Reply:I think its nearly all to do with psychological issues. Personally I'd never have cosmetic surgery, but don't have anything against it if it works for the person involved. Is it better for a woman to be depressed about a flat chest or to be happy with implants? If she feels more self confident with implants then fine.
At the end of the day its largely to do with self confidence in how you look - which is psychological rather than physiological.
Reply:I think it should be banned except for restorative purposes.
The people who advocate it don't want to see that e.g. a flat chest is not the problem, but a low self esteem and a resulting need to conform with the "ideals" that are the fashion of the day.
It's just another ploy to make lots of money with people's, especially women's, feelings of inadequacy, which then are projected onto a feature of their body. After a while they find out it did not really make them any happier, and go for the next operation.
Reply:i don't think it's right at all.
god made us like this and we shouldn't alter the way we were born.
for some cases, for example, chad michael-murray broke his nose and they couldn't get his nose to how it was before, so his nose was altered in the surgery.
and also scars from fires i think is fine.
but just because u think your ugly or have small boobs then it's just silly.
Reply:Not all at once
Reply:I do think it's definitely more psychological. It is also a lot more common in Western countries, where there is so much pressure from the media to look a certain way to be socially acceptable. There is also the message that, if you are fat/ugly/hairy, etc., then you must also be ugly on the inside. I have extremely low self-esteem, and had eating disorders for many years because I thought if I was too fat then people would think I was a bad person. I was wearing age 10-11 clothes when I was 22, and I'm not particularly short (!). So I can understand why there is such a high demand for it, and I don't think it's wrong, depending on your motives. But I would suggest that, to anyone considering it, ask yourself, will really change the way you feel about yourself? And, as for the people you hope you might make yourself more appealing to, are they really worth it if they care so much about the way you look?
Plastic surgery, as opposed to cosmetic surgery, is a different matter, and the two should not be confused. Plastic surgery tries to remedy the physical results of disease or injury, whereas cosmetic surgery, depending on your opinion, can enhance the way you look and give you more confidence, or change your appearance in response to psychological problems.
I can see a disturbing future where the 'beautiful' people become more and more 'perfect', and the normal people seem uglier and uglier by comparison...

How advance is cosmetic surgery?
Is it possible now days using cosmetic surgery to change the tone or color of the skin , erase acne scars , or make someone short change the height ???
how far can someone change using cosmetic surgery ...??
How advance is cosmetic surgery?
Why would you want to do that sort of extreme change? I had plastic surgery done...which was a skin graft, as a part of a skin cancer surgery I had on my sholder...mind you this was not done for cosmetic reasons....so consider this, skin tone, acne scars ect. is no big deal when one considers the real necessities people have plastic surgery for
Reply:Looking at Michael Jackson, do YOU think cosmetic surgery is really advanced?
Reply:Well look at Michael Jackson, he changed his skin color. I believe that yes cosmetic surgery can remove acne scars, but no it cannot really change height. You can REALLY change the way you look with cosmetic surgery

Can you wear cosmetic lens with a different base curve?
I wear normal contacts with 8.5 base curve and want cosmetic lens with 8.6. Is this dangerous? Also i wear 14.5 diameter and the cosmetic ones are 14.0. Is this alright too? Heres a link to the contacts i want: http://www.circlelens2u.com/145_Crystal-...
Can you wear cosmetic lens with a different base curve?
The difference in the base curve and diameter shouldn't be a problem. The measurements are well within tolerance.
The problem is that colored lenses don't always fit the way they should, even if all the measurements are identical.
There is probably only a 75 % chance that they will fit right and stay centered on your eyes.
The clear center on those lenses appear quite large though, so it may work out fine, even if they slip a bit too much.
You realize they are conventional lenses, which means you will have to do protein removal steps also in the cleaning process.
Good luck....and if you do get them, at the first signs of discomfort or redness, take them off and ditch them.
Reply:Yes, not a problem at all

Heres another with cosmetic surgery?
I had a Q bout cosmetic surgery right or wrong, someone left me an answer saying it leaves scars, I want to no what she thinks if you already have scars from previous ops, non cosmetic, does she still think its wrong?x
Heres another with cosmetic surgery?
I answered your question about having cosmetic surgery.
Yes there will be scars. My scars are on my face. Because of the location of the lesions that were removed, my doctor was able to hide my scars in the folds of my nose. No one notices them. I know where to look for them and I can't always see them.
I have a more noticeable scar on my forehead at the corner of my left eye where I had stitches as a child. I've been using mederma on that and the surgery scars and they are fading.
as for scarring, I have very fair skin and I don't scar easily or very noticeably unless it is a very bad wound or poorly done suture.
Scars are something to consider when you are thinking about a breast augmentation. Once you select a surgeon, talk to him/her about how they cut the breast to insert the implant. Different doctors have different techniques, but usually they cut around the nipple and then down under the breast and around back towards the arm (my cousin had a breast augmentation--she had hers done at the teaching hospital in Galveston, the head of the department did her surgery) He/she will have a book showcasing their work of before and after pictures for you to see. Follow the doctor's instructions EXACTLY for your after surgery care.
If you decide that right now the scarring is not worth the final appearance, then it's alright to postpone it for now.
Good Luck.

we are not yet in the state of your imagination
Reply:You can add inches to someone short-- by breaking their leg bones and moving them apart slowly so they grow back together. Commonly done with dwarfs.You can erase acne to some extent, but not perfectly, and you can change skin tone too, but only a tiny bit, I think.

Yes there are, just check with your cosmetic surgeon as he or she will have a list of those who will give personal loans to those wanting to have cosmetic surgery and they are also some cosmetic surgeons who do some sort of in house payment plan between you and them.
