- Title
Overview: cosmetics and the art of adornment.
- Authors
Draelos, Zoe Diana
- Abstract
Cosmetics were originally designed to color, scent, and adorn the body. They were placed on the skin to create a colorful palate, nothing more, nothing less. However, the availability of new ingredients, an enhanced understanding of skin physiology, and the development of many products designed to impact the stratum corneum has led to the need for cosmetics to be recognized as an important part of dermatology. Cosmetics are now an integral part of skin care, impacting both the treatment of skin disease and the maintenance of the stratum corneum barrier.
