THE HISTORY OF COSMETICS

The first archaeological evidence of cosmetics usage is found in Ancient Egypt around 4000 BC. The Ancient Greeks and Romans also used cosmetics. The Romans and Ancient Egyptians used cosmetics containing mercury and often lead.

In the western world, the advent of cosmetics was in the middle ages, although typically restricted to use within upper classes.

Cosmetic usage was frowned upon at some points in history. For example, in the 1800s, queen Victoria publicly declared makeup improper. It was viewed as vulgar and acceptable only for use by actors.

By the middle of the 20th century, cosmetics were in widespread use in nearly all societies around the world.The cosmetics industry today is a multinational, multi-billion-dollar industry. Of the major firms, the oldest and the largest is L'Oréal, which was founded by Eugene Schueller in 1909 as the French Harmless Hair colouring company. The market was developed in the USA during the 1910s by Elizabeth Arden, Helena Rubinstein, and Max Factor. These firms were joined by Revlon just before World War II and Estée Lauder just after.

SOME MOISTURIZERS FOR WINTER TIME

Not long ago, my face and hands looked terrible in winter time, or even when the weather changed. My skin was so dry and itchy. I sometimes became a victim of painful skin tearing and bleeding. I tried many different kinds of lotion to improve my skin, but it seemed very hard to find which one was the best for me. Then I got a job at Renu Labs which manufactures skincare products. Now my skin is getting better. Maybe some of you will think that I'm exaggering. I would truly like to share some products which work really well for my skin, and hope that you will have similar results.

SkinRenu Advanced Bruise Prevention Formula is my favorite one. By restoring skin lipids and increasing collagen and elastin, your skin tone will begin to improve in only a few weeks. With Soluble Collagen, Carrageenan (Chondrus crispus) Extract, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E), Evening Primose Oil, Wheat Lipids, and Grapefruite Essential Oil, these effective ingredients will help your skin soften, become smoother and most importantly, begin to build up the strength necessary to prevent tearing and bruising. It's very easy to use. Just apply it to your skin every time you feel dry. You can use it on your face, neck, hands or a whole body.

Another good moisturizer is SkinRenu Ultra Antioxidant. With two more additional ingredients: Grape Seed and Olive Extract, this 1.7 oz bottle will not only help moisturize your face in daytime, but also strengthen your skin to prevent UV from the sunshine.

My clients, my friends, especially my mother-in-law, love these moisturizers so much. If you are interested in how to make your skin look and feel better, I think you should try these products. For more further information, you can visit skinrenu.com or contact me at pavideonow@yahoo.com
