Everyone wants to look beautiful, younger and free from blemish. We are always worried about how our skin looks to us and to others and this is how many of us define their self image. Cosmetic is any product which when applied gives a temporary superficial change that enhances the facial features and appearance.

The epidermis, dermis and hypodermis layers make the skin. Epidermis is the outer most layers and as we grow old, it gradually thins. This process accelerates when exposed to ultraviolet rays. Though some of the cosmetics helps temporary thickening of this layer but no permanent solution to this natural process is found yet.
