What it is

A lecture exploring the dangerous history of cosmetic trends

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.

Free for students (student card required), under 18s (ID card required), accompanying carers and RCPE Fellows or Members.
