Читать книгу The Colors Of A Optimistic World - Logan J. Davisson - Страница 42

Most of us strive for some ideal of beauty, but in the fewest cases we have created this ideal of beauty ourselves, but simply adopted it from the media. Of course, this is not bad as long as we do not harm ourselves psychologically or physically. One of these beauty ideals in our society is to use a fragrant body lotion, to buy a whitening toothpaste or to colour your hair regularly. It also works without these artificial cosmetics. Body lotion, toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant and the like can be conjured up in just a few minutes using natural ingredients found in every kitchen. Instead of the chemically contaminated lotion there is then a high-quality olive oil on the skin. Body care can also be minimalist - and much healthier than the artificial alternatives! Rethinking one's own beauty standards can at best have a positive effect on one's own body image, mood and the stock of cosmetics in the bathroom.
