Cosmetics

Cosmetics are a category of health and beauty products that are used to care for the face and body, or used to accentuate or change a person's appearance.

 Though cosmetics are commonly thought of as only makeup used to alter a person's appearance, cosmetics can also refer to a number of products used to care for the skin and the body, as well as those used to add fragrance to it.

 There are a large number of cosmetics available under these various categories, each designed for different purposes and featuring different characteristics.

Botulinum toxin (Botox)

Botulinum toxin (Botox)is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and related species.

 

It prevents the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from axon endings at the neuromuscular junction, thus causing flaccid paralysis.

The toxin causes the disease botulism. The toxin is also used commercially for medical and cosmetic purposes.

Exfoliants

Exfoliation involves the removal of the oldest dead skin cells on the skin's outermost surface.

 Exfoliation is involved in all facials, during microdermabrasion or chemical peels. 

Exfoliation can be achieved by mechanical or chemical means.

Mechanical Exfoliants

We all know As old school as it sounds, this method involves physically scrubbing the dead skin off your face.

 The means can be as elementary as a washcloth or soft brush. A product uses a gritty, granular substance, suspended in a cream, lotion, or gel, that manually scrubs off the surface layer. 

Granules such as oatmeal, polyethylene beads, salt, sugar, calcium carbonate, dimethicone polymers, or tiny crystal particles are used as gentle buffing tools. Do-it-yourself microdermabrasion kits use a "resurfacing tool" (sounds scary, but it's just a slightly abrasive sponge or soft-bristle brush) to massage a cream with aluminum oxide or mineral crystals onto the skin.

 If you have a tendency toward sensitivity or rosacea, too much abrasive scrubbing can irritate your skin. It is better to stick with a super-gentle lactic acid exfoliant and use it only once or twice a month at most.

Chemical exfoliants

Chemical exfoliants are acids that get rid of dead skin cells. 

• They come in various concentrations. Weaker formulas can be bought over the counter, while stronger ones are usually applied by a dermatologist in the form of a chemical peel.

Laser resurfacing

Laser resurfacing is a laser surgery technique that disassociates molecular bonds. 

It is used for the treatment of 

• wrinkles, 

• solar lentigenes,

•  sun damage,

•  scarring (acne scars and surgical scars), 

• stretch marks, 

• actinic keratosis, and telangiectasias.

 It can be combined with liposuction to help tighten and smooth over the new contours after removal of excess fat.

•  Resurfacing can be ablative, which vaporizes tissue and creates wounds, or non-ablative which keeps the skin intact. When compared to a chemical peel, dermabrasion or other forms of treatment, a laser allows the surgeon to customize the surgery not only for each patient but also to each area of the face.
