I use moisturizer every day, am a makeup junkie, and color my hair monthly.
My mother died of breast cancer, and yes, it worries me horribly. But, I decided years ago when my mom was diagnosed that I would get annual checkups, do monthly self-exams, live a healthy life style, (which I've always had) - don't use pesticides on my lawn, try to eat organic or from farmer's market, but as far as makeup and moisturizer and hair dye, I just cannot not use that stuff.
I live in an extremely dry climate, and I'm an entertainer, I have to look good, no? so what does one do -
My girlfriend ONLY used "all natural" stuff on her skin and her makeup, and guess what, she ended up with skin cancer on her nose and cheek, and the doctor told her the vitamin C stuff she was using exacerbates certain kinds of skin cancer.
So, you can't win......
Also, the month of October, I practically have to live under the covers, I really cannot take all the talk about breast cancer during that month, I just want to scream, I just don't want any more reminders.......
(but that's a personal thing) I'm sure all the reminders make women go get mammograms, but, there is such a thing as over-doing it with the message.
