3. COSMETICS
Cosmetics (colloquially known as makeup or
make-up) are care substances used to enhance
the appearance or odor of the human body.
They are generally mixtures of chemical
compounds, some being derived from natural
sources, many being synthetic
4. HISTORY
Castor oil used by ancient Egypt as a
protective balm.
Skin creams made of beeswax, olive oil, and
rosewater, described by Romans.
Cosmetic use was frowned upon at many
points in Western history. For example, in the
19th century, Queen Victoria publicly declared
makeup improper, vulgar, and acceptable only
for use by actors.
5. ETHICS
During the 20th century, the popularity of cosmetics
increased rapidly. Cosmetics are increasingly used by
girls at a young age, especially in the United States. Due
to the fast-decreasing age of make-up users, many
companies, from high-street brands like Rimmel to
higher-end products like Estee Lauder, cater to this
expanding market by introducing flavored lipsticks and
glosses, cosmetics packaged in glittery, sparkly
packaging and marketing and advertising using
young models.
6. SAFETY
Cosmetic companies successfully resist
regulation by government agencies like the
FDA, and have also lobbied against this
regulation throughout the years.
7. ANIMAL TESTING
Cosmetics testing on animals is particularly
controversial. Such tests involve general
toxicity, eye and skin irritancy, phototoxicity
(toxicity triggered by ultraviolet light) and
mutagenicity.
8. MAKEUP TYPES
• Cosmetics include skin-care creams, lotions,
powders, perfumes, lipsticks, fingernail and
toe nail polish, eye and facial makeup,
towelettes, permanent waves, colored contact
lenses, hair colors, hair sprays and gels,
deodorants, hand sanitizer, baby products, bath
oils, bubble baths, bath salts, butters and many
other types of products.
9. SKIN CARE PRODUCTS
cleansers, facial masks, toners,
moisturizers, sunscreen, tanning oils and
lotions, skin lighteners, serums and exfoliants
10. SKIN TYPES
1. Normal skin
This type of skin has a fine, even and smooth
surface due to its ideal balance between oil and
moisture content and is therefore neither greasy
nor dry.
2. Dry skin
Dry skin has a parched appearance and tends to
flake easily. It is prone to wrinkles and lines due
to its inability to retain moisture, as well as an
inadequate production of sebum by sebaceous
glands.
11. 3. OILY SKIN
• As its name implies, this type of skin surface is
slightly to moderately greasy, which is caused
by the over secretion of sebum.
12. 4. Combination skin
• This is the most common type of skin. As
the name suggests, it is a combination of
both oily and dry or normal skin, where
certain areas of the face are oily and the
others dry.
5. Sensitive skin
Sensitive skin has a tendency to react to
many potential triggers with irritation,
redness, stinging or burning, flaking,
lumpiness and rashes.
