Cosmetics – A Friend in Need
To begin with cosmetics and natural beauty products are a huge rage not only amongst super models or movie stars but also with ordinary women of all age groups. These cosmetics help to highlight and beautify women’s face and body. You can easily access them in every household, famously across the world. They are basically substances that are used to enhance the appearance of a woman. They are generally a mixture of chemical compounds some being derived from natural sources and others by using synthetic product.
If we trace back its existence from the past then the word cosmetic was derived from Greek word, which meant ‘Technique of dress and ornament’. Different products such as castor oil were used as Lip balm and skin creams where made of olive oil, beeswax and rosewater. Although ancient Greeks used these cosmetics, there were generally frowned upon by the local populace. Queen Victoria publicly declared makeup as improper, vulgar and acceptable only for the use by actors.
