Personal care products are used on external body parts, including skin, hair, nails and external genitalia for grooming, hygiene and aesthetic enhancement. Personal care items have become a daily necessity of life.
Although most chemicals found in personal care products are generally safe, some could pose long-term risks if exposed to excessive usage – these substances include perfumes, dyes and preservatives.
Skin care
Skin care is an integral component of staying healthy. The industry provides a vast arsenal of products designed to clean, soothe, restore, reinforce and protect the skin. Some are classified as medicinal while others can be classified cosmetics; as with haircare regimens, trial-and-error is required when finding what works for you in regards to skin care routine. Make sure to use gentle cleansers in both morning and evening, but avoid overcleansing; excessive cleansing strips your skin of its natural oils which protect it against infections while stripping it dryness makes bacteria infections more likely.
Before mass marketing of skin care products, women would create their own preparations using recipes passed down from their mothers or sourced from women’s magazines. Patent medicines and beauty preparations of the 1800s promised to remove freckles and ruddiness, lighten or conceal discolored areas, soothe irritated skin and reverse sun damage.

Makeup
Many personal care products – like shampoo, shaving cream, deodorant and body wash — contain ingredients which could pose health risks when they accumulate in your body, yet an antiquated law from 1938 gives the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) limited authority to oversee how safe these products are.
Most toiletries are intended to improve health, well-being and appearance by cleansing skin, hair, nails, lips, external genital areas and external anal areas; in addition to promoting basic hygiene. Cosmetics on the other hand aim to enhance these aspects; usually using brushes, sponges or other applicators on facial features or body parts such as exfoliating gels/scrubs containing sea salt/sugar/nut shell/rice bran exfoliators which scrub dead skin off before being rinsed away afterwards.
