everyday life appropriately through group presentation; and
3) enumerate the importance of the properties of the chemicals
found in cosmetics accurately through jingle.
The Skin
The cutaneous membrane is the
technical term for our skin.
The skin’s primary role is to help
protect the rest of the body’s
tissues and organs from physical
damage such as abrasions, chemical
damage such as detergents, and
biological damage from
microorganisms.
The Skin
Our skin is made of three general
layers. In order from most superficial
to deepest they are the epidermis,
dermis, and hypodermis.
The epidermis has several crucial
functions in the body. These functions
include protection, water retention,
and vitamin D synthesis. The epidermis
provides protection to underlying
tissues from physical damage,
pathogens, and UV light.
Skin Creams and Lotions
A lotion is a low-viscosity topical preparation
intended for application to the skin.
They are meant instead to simply smooth,
moisturize, soften and perhaps perfume the skin.
Other forms such as tanning lotion also exist.
Creams and gels have higher viscosity due to
lower water content.
They are considered pharmaceutical products as
even cosmetic creams are based on techniques
developed by pharmacies. Unmedicated creams
are highly used in a variety of skin conditions.
Moisturizer
Moisturizer or moisturiser is a cosmetic
preparation used for protecting, moisturizing, and
lubricating the skin.
These functions are normally performed by
sebum produced by healthy skin.
