The 21st century woman uses as many as 515 chemicals every day. Her humble nail varnish contains up to 31 chemicals and her perfume, a whopping 400. Soaps, creams, lotions, gels, mousse, colours, sprays, foams, oils, serums - she uses up to nine on an average day and 15 or more on a vanity affair.

Is this the ultimate wrestling contest? The incredible battle of strength between wild horses and man
- The annual Rapa das Bestas festival in Spain is not for the faint-hearted, as it pits man against horse in an incredible wrestling match.
The 400-year old tradition of Rapa das Bestas, which translates as ‘cropping the beasts’, sees locals attempt to wrestle wild horses to the ground, before cropping their manes.
The horses come from the mountains of Galicia, in the northwestern region of Spain, and are rounded up so that the locals can clip their manes and tails and brand the foals.
