Toxic Beauty
What it is
Join us at the Physicians’ Gallery as two speakers - Dr Barbara Lasic and Dr Fabiola Creed – explore two aspects of the dangerous history of cosmetic enhancements.
Barbara will talk about the use of make-up that contained toxic ingredients and Fabiola will talk about the once thought to be ‘healthy’ sunbed trend.
