The word is applied to preparations used for improving the appearance of the skin, or for emphasising the features of the face or the shape of the finger-tips. Jars and bottles for containing cosmetics and implements for applying them have been found among the remains of all the ancient civilisations. Face powder, made of powdered rice or semolina, or of chemical compounds, has been widely used for giving a matt surface to the skin, and recently pastes mixed with gum have been used for the same purpose.

Kohl is used for shading the eyelids in order to make the eyes appear bigger; henna for staining hair, finger-tips and toes. Rouge powder or paste is used by women for colouring the cheeks, and at some periods has also been worn by men. The second decade of the 20th century, which saw the widespread emancipation of women, saw also a great increase in the use of cosmetics, especially sticks of rouge-paste—lipsticks—for reddening the lips, and varnish for reddening the finger-nails and toe-nails. Cosmetics have always been used by actors and actresses to give a different character to the face, or to counteract the effect of strong lights, which deaden the look of the skin, and to help the features and facial expression to be visible from a dis­tance.

Cosmetics are also used in an attempt to clean the skin and keep it flexible and unwrinkled. The skin is well supplied with blood vessels, from which it derives its nutrition. It is impervious to most compounds and there is no evidence that cosmetics applied to its surface 'feed' the skin. However, application of emollient creams and moisturisers helps prevent premature ageing of the skin in that they minimise water loss. Loss of intrinsic water from the skin either through exposure to wind, sun, or high temperature and low humidity will accelerate ageing and the formation of wrinkles. The wide use of lipsticks has led to a decrease in cracked and chapped lips. In some people, certain cosmetics, such as hair preparations and depilatories may cause a severe skin irritation. Hence before using a new cosmetic it should always be tested on a small area of the arm.
