Cosmetic and our body
The largest organ of the human
body is the skin It protects our bodies from the
environment, maintains body temperature, excretes waste matter,
gives sensory information to the brain and regulates body
moisture We think about our skin more than any other part
of our bodies, and we manifest that attention by investing our
emotions and about 6 to 20 % of our disposable income into our
skin It is worthy to consider, then, how cosmetic products
affect our skin
Skin care cosmetics treat the surface layer of the skin by
providing better protection against the environment than skin
left untreated Creams treat the skin's surface by
imparting moisture to the skin cells on the outermost layer of
the skin It also forms a thin barrier which traps moisture
underneath, thereby preventing the evaporation of water from the
skin's surface Creams also accelerate the hydration of
skin cells on the outer layer, giving the skin a temporarily
smooth, plump appearance Exfoliants improve
the appearance of the skin by sloughing away flaky skin,
blackheads and some dead skin cells Astringents improve
skin tone and texture by swelling the pore walls so dirt and
debris do not collect within Soaps loosen particles of
dirt and grime by dissolving the greasy residue left on the skin
from natural skin oils, creams and make-up
