Mahi a very beautiful topic and is amazing that we always think about the beauty first whether its our own or what we see !! As mentioned by you in the topic it is the beauty that we are so concious about !! Millions of dollars pounds and rupees are spent either on beauty products or on plastic surgeries to look Beautiful !! But my dear friend some are not that fortunate that beauty has been given to them by God !! Like Rakhi Sawant has said What God cannot give you a doctor can !! But even sometimes the doctors cannot give you that beauty !! MJ is a great example in front of us !! Inner beauty is what a human being needs !! I fully agree with you that outer beauty is as important as the inner one !! I am so glad that you have brought out this topic and lets here what the others have to say !! This is the research on beauty at the present age !!
Today the cosmetics industry is one of the largest in the United States. In 2004, Americans spent $12.4 billion on cosmetics, an amount of money that is 33% larger than the amount needed each year (in addition to current expenditures) to provide water and sanitation for all people in developing nations, and, ironically, since cosmetics are often advertised as symbols of women's rights and independence, just slightly larger than the amount needed each year (in addition to current expenditures) to provide reproductive healthcare for all women in developing countries.[13]
Women devote an average of 19 minutes per day to treating and altering their faces.[14] The average American adult uses 9 personal care products each day, with 126 unique chemical ingredients.[15] Yet despite the 1938 law, and subsequent amendments, cosmetics are produced, tested, labeled, marketed, and sold with little FDA supervision beyond the banning of 9 ingredients (such as mercury and chloroform) and certain color additives.[12] Cosmetic companies are essentially free to make exaggerated claims regarding their products, and those producing anti-aging creams frequently do, using celebrity and/or physician spokespersons and scientific-sounding names. The toxicity of product ingredients is scrutinized almost exclusively by a self-policing industry safety committee, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) panel. Eighty-nine percent of the 10,500 ingredients used in personal care products have not been evaluated for safety by the CIR nor the FDA.[12] Many products contain ingredients linked to cancer, pregnancy problems, and other important health issues.[15] Because of underfunding and a greater focus on pharmaceuticals, the FDA only steps in when cosmetics and "cosmeceuticals" manufacturers grossly overstep legal bounds; fines are considered by larger manufacturers to be simply a cost of doing business.[12]
Great my dear friend Keep it up !!
