Six Weeks Without A Wash!

Nicky Taylor went to extreme measures last night in the BBC3 programme "how dirty can i get" to avoid nasty chemicals such as parabens found in skincare.

After reading the labels of beauty products she used, she worked out she was applying more than 200 different chemicals to her body each day. She adds: "These are said to be safe, but what is not known is the effect that the 'cocktail' of chemicals is having on our bodies. With the incidence of diseases such as breast cancer on the rise, it's difficult not to wonder if these products could partly be to blame. Health campaigners are particularly worried about a group of chemicals called parabens, which are added to cosmetics to prevent them from degrading."

So over the past six weeks, Nicky, 42, cut out her daily skincare routine, and all the products associated with it, out of her life altogether. For 40 days and 40 nights, there was no showering, no hair washing, no teeth cleaning and no deodorant.

She really should have just came to The Natural Beauty Shop instead, hehe! You have to admire her though, it was quite interesting to watch. Including learning that the level of parabens found in the body can be measured in human urine, eek!
