Cosmetics Safety
Posted: January 5th, 2008 @ 7:40am
Some cosmetic products can cause irritation, rashes or even infections, especially if shared with others.
Here are some suggestions to prevent problems from using cosmetics, courtesy of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services:
- Never allow other people to borrow your makeup, which can spread bacteria and other germs.
- When trying on makeup at a store, always use a new applicator, or ask the salesperson to clean it with alcohol before using.
- To prevent bacterial growth, keep your makeup closed tightly, and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing makeup to sun and other forms of direct light and heat.
- If you have an eye infection, stop using makeup until the irritation clears. Discard any makeup you used when you had the infection.
- Throw away old makeup, and any makeup that turns color or develops an odor.
- Try not to inhale powders or aerosol products, which can irritate or damage the lungs.

What is Laughter Yoga?
Laughter Yoga combines Unconditional Laughter with Yogic Breathing (Pranayama).
Anyone can Laugh for No Reason, without relying on humor, jokes or comedy.
Laughter is simulated as a body exercise in a group; with eye contact and childlike playfulness, it soon turns into real and contagious laughter.
The concept of Laughter Yoga is based on a scientific fact that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter.
One gets the same physiological and psychological benefits.

Yours in Laughter and Light,
