 Skin care products are the products used to improve the
appearance & health of skin, formulated for different
types of skin & associated characteristics.
 Skin care products include cleansers, facial masks,
toners, moisturizers, sunscreen, tanning oils &
lotions, skin lighteners, serums & exfoliants.
 The skin products are designed to solve the problems
from dry skin to oily skin counteract the effects of
ageing, fine lines & wrinkles.

TYPES OF SKIN CARE
PRODUCTS
1. COLD/VANISH CREAM
 Face cream is made up of oils, waxes,
emulsifiers & perfumes.
 Vanish cream is made up of steatric acid,
alkali, water & humectants.
 Vanish cream get its name from the fact
that it seemed to disappear when applied
on face.
2. POWDERS
 It includes face powder, baby powder &
talcum powder.
 Talc or hydrated magnesium silicate is
most commonly used component in
powders.
 Other ingredients include : Zinc oxide &
Magnesium oxide for opacity
 Magnesium & Zinc stearates for
adherence.
3. MOISTURIZERS & SUNSCREEN

SKIN TYPES
1. Normal skin
 This type of skin has a fine,
even & smooth surface due
to its ideal balance
between oil & moisture
content .
 Hence it is neither greasy
nor dry.
 Thus, the skin usually
appears clear. This type of
skin needs minimal &
gentle treatment.

2. Dry skin
 Dry skin has a parched
appearance & tends to flake
easily.
 It is prone to wrinkles & lines
due to its inability to retain
moisture, as well as an
inadequate production of sebum
by sebaceous glands.
 Constant protection in the form
of a moisturizer by day & a
moisture-rich cream by night is
essential. Gentle exfoliants
using sugar, rice bran or mild
acids are the most suitable.

3. Oily skin
 This type of skin surface is moderately
greasy, which is caused by the over
secretion of sebum. The excess oil on the
surface of the skin causes dirt & dust from
the environment to adhere to it.
 Oily skin is usually prone to blackheads,
whiteheads, spots & pimples.
 It needs to be cleansed thoroughly every
day, especially in hot or humid weather.
 Moisturizing with an oil-free, water-based
& non-comedogenic moisturizer is
required in addition.
 Exfoliants that contain fruit acids are
particularly helpful, & fine-grained
exfoliants may help to clear blocked
pores, discouraging breakouts &
improving the skin's appearance.

4. Combination skin
 It is a combination of both oily &
dry or normal skin, where certain
areas of the face are oily & the others
dry.
The oily parts are usually found on
a central panel, called the T–Zone,
consisting of the forehead, nose &
chin. The dry areas usually consist of
the cheeks & the areas around the
eyes & mouth.
 In such cases, each part of the
face should be treated according to
its skin type. There are also skin care
products made especially for those
who have combination skin.

5. Sensitive skin
 Sensitive skin has a tendency to
react to many potential triggers with
irritation, redness, stinging or
burning, flaking, lumpiness & rashes.
 The most common causes of
irritation are chemical dyes &
fragrances, soaps, some flower &
spice oils, shaving creams, tanning
lotions or spray tans, changes in
temperature, excessive cleansing or
exfoliating, waxing, threading,
shaving & bleaching.
 Sensitive skin is typically dry, but can
be oily, normal or combination as
well.

GENERAL SKIN CARE ROUTINES
CLEANSING
 Cleansing is the first essential step to any daily
skin care routine.
 Cleansers are generally applied to wet skin over
the face & sometimes also the neck, avoiding the
eyes & lips.
 A mild cleanser should also be used at night if
makeup has been worn to remove any excess dirt
or oil.
 Eg: Water-based cleansers, benzoyl peroxide or
salicylic acid for acne.

CLEANSER

TONERS
 Toners are used after cleansing the skin to
freshen it up and remove any traces of cleanser,
mask or makeup, as well to help restore the
skin's natural pH.

skin type. Toners containing alcohol are quite
astringent, and usually targeted at oily skins.

alcohol-free toners.

MASKS
 Face masks are treatments applied to
the skin for a period of time, then

a dry, cleansed face, avoiding the
eyes & lips.
 Kinds of masks:
 Clay-based masks use kaolin clay
to transport essential oils &
chemicals to the skin & are left on
until completely dry. As the clay
dries, it absorbs excess oil & dirt
from the surface of the skin & may
help to clear blocked pores.

 Peel masks are typically gel-like in
consistency, & contain various
acids or exfoliating agents to help
exfoliate the skin, along with other
ingredients to hydrate, discourage
wrinkles, or treat uneven skin
tone. They are also left on to dry,
& then gently peeled off.
 Sheet masks consist of a fiber
sheet with holes cut out for eyes &
lips & cut to fit the contours of the
face, onto which serums & skin
treatments are brushed in a thin
layer. Sheet masks are quicker,
less messy, & require no
specialized knowledge or
equipment for their use.

the eye area.

Chemical exfoliants may include citric acid (from
citrus fruits), acetic acid (from vinegar), malic acid
(from various fruits), glycolic acid, lactic acid or
salicylic acid.
Abrasive exfoliants include gels, creams or lotions.

MOISTURIZERS
 Moisturizers are creams or lotions that hydrate the skin
and help it to retain moisture. They may also contain
various essential oils, herbal extracts or chemicals.
 Moisturizer helps prevent flaking and dryness, and may
help to delay the formation of wrinkles.
 Moisturizers contain oils like isopropyl palmitate, Stearyl
alcohol, glycerine.
 The skin around the eyes is extremely thin and
sensitive, and is often the first area to show signs of
ageing. Eye creams are typically very light lotions or
gels, and are usually very gentle; some may contain
ingredients such as caffeine or Vitamin K to reduce
puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. Eye creams
or gels should be applied over the entire eye area with
a finger, using a patting motion.

SUNSCREEN
 Sunscreen is a lotion, spray, gel or other topical product that
absorbs or reflects some of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation
on the skin exposed to sunlight and thus helps protect
against sunburn.
 It should be applied 20 minutes before exposure, and should
be re-applied every four hours.
 Depending on the mode of action sunscreens can be classified
into physical sunscreens or chemical sunscreens.
 Physical sunscreens- reflect the sunlight & is used to block
UV rays. Eg-Titanium dioxide & Zinc oxide.
 Chemical sunscreens- absorb the UV light & is used to
intensify UV rays. The ingredients are-
 Avobenzone UVA
 Dioxybenzone UVA, UVB
 Octyl Salicylate UVA, UVB
 Oxybenzene UVA, UVB

 The efficiency of a
sunscreen has been
measured by its Sun
Protection Factor
(spf).

DEODORANTS
 Deodorants are substances applied to the body to
affect body odor (BO) caused by bacterial growth and the
smell associated with bacterial breakdown
