A During the early years of the 20th century, make-up became fashionable in the United States of America and Europe owing to the influence of ballet and theatre stars such as Mathilde Kschessinska and Sarah Bernhardt. But the most influential new development of all was that of the movie industry in Hollywood.
Skin has many functions, and is far more than a mere decoration for the body. Some of these functions are so important that unless most of the skin is working efficiently, we will die.
This is the reason why second- or third-degree burns are so serious. When the skin is destroyed over a large area, there is no way of controlling the rate at which water is lost to the outside environment, or of regulating the temperature of the body or of controlling infection.
Climate can make a considerable difference to the state of all our skins. Where we live in the world, and whether we are adapted to the local climate there, may also be critical.
The humidity of the air is important to the way we feel and how our skin condition fares. Humidity is largely determined by temperature: this is because the air can hold more water vapour at higher temperatures. In winter the air cannot hold as much water, and on a very cold day there is virtually no moisture in the air at all. This is why we can often see people's breath in frosty weather: as the warm, moist air from the lungs cools down, the water vapour in it turns into tiny liquid drops that form clouds.
Environments that dehydrate the skin can considerably affect the skin condition, and hence its functions. Examples include centrally heated and air-conditioned homes and offices.
Out of doors, sun and wind together may produce very severe drying effects, especially if they are experienced over a long period of time.
It is wise to avoid smoking, if for no other reason than that it damages the appearance of the skin. (There are other, even better, reasons too!) Cigarette smoke and tar deprive the skin of the nutrients and oxygen it needs for good health, ultimately leaving it looking dull and lifeless

Antioxidants
The antioxidants used in cosmetics are derived from certain vitamins, mainly A, C and E, which form part of the body's natural defence and balance system. Antioxidants are thought to protect the skin by attaching themselves to free radicals, minimizing the harm they do to the skin. These additives may help the skin repair systems, but hard scientific evidence for this is limited.
The aim of cleansing is to remove:
-surface dirt
-all make-up
-the top layer of dead skin cells
The way in which any individual chooses to carry out this process is determined by habit, skin feel requirements and activity.
For many generations soaps have been made by the extraction of oils and tallow's from plants and animals and then treating these with alkalis to neutralise the fatty acids they contain.
Facial cleansing should be effective without irritating the skin, and to achieve this it is important to choose the most appropriate products. The following points must be considered when choosing:
