The cosmetics industry generates approximately $30 billion annually. The industry is pretty much recession proof, and with products at all ends of the price spectrum, there is something out there for everyone. Statistics such as these show that a good percentage of women are wearing cosmetics, but are the really necessary? Why are women wearing them? The answer to that question is simple. Wearing makeup helps us to feel more confident.

Using cosmetics to enhance what’s already there can help women to feel confident, vibrant, and sexy. Let’s face it. Even though there are people out there who were born with natural beauty, nobody is perfect. Even Gisele Bundchen wakes up with under eye circles from time to time. Makeup can help people accentuate the features that they like about themselves and hide the ones that they don’t. A good concealer can mask the darkest of under eye circles and make a person look rested and rejuvenated. A person with beautiful eyes can really make them sparkle with expertly applied eyeshadow.  If covered correctly, the worst of blemishes can be covered up. Makeup helps to enhance natural features and make a person look the best that they can. 

So why does makeup get such a bad rap? Probably because it is so easy to do incorrectly. No matter who you are, if you are a girl who wears makeup, there was a point in your life in which you decided that the clown look was the way to go. This usually happens when you are trying to accentuate every last feature. Using products such as highlighters and contouring powder can help to define cheekbones and make eyes look bigger, but when you use too much, you end up looking more like you belong on stage.

Besides helping women to feel better about themselves, makeup can also help to protect skin from damage. Now days, products such as moisturizers and foundations contain sunblock in them. We all know the links of sun exposure to skin cancer, but over exposure to the sun can also cause dark spots and wrinkles. Even the person who wears no makeup would benefit from a good moisturizer with an SPF to help protect them from the sun and keep them looking young and fresh.

Makeup is not a necessity, but it can go a long way toward helping a woman look her best. And when people look their best, they feel great. Confidence is always sexy, so if there is a way to make yourself feel more confident in your own skin, embrace it.

When it comes to skin care, most people focus on the importance of washing the skin.  And indeed, washing is very important for sloughing off oil, dirt, and dead skin.  But what sometimes gets left out of the equation is how important it is to dry skin thoroughly. 

Wet skin can actually cause acne.  One of the reasons for acne is bacteria living on the skin and clogging pores.  A wet environment fosters the growth of bacteria.  This is especially dangerous on areas like the back, where sometimes people get dressed before they are completely dry.  The wet skin trapped in clothes, especially in non-natural fibers like polyester or rayon, can not breathe and dry properly.  The skin then becomes a breeding ground for acne-causing bacteria.

In fact, if you have problems with acne on your back of the variety that are small, clustered blemishes, it is likely that at least some of it is caused by skin that hasn’t been dried properly.  This can lead to confusion; it may seem as though the acne is persistent despite regular or even increased cleaning.  But if every time the area was cleaned it wasn’t dried properly, those extra cleanings may actually be making the problem worse.

The good news is that this problem is very easy to correct.  Simply make sure to rinse all soap off of your skin before you’re done with your shower or wash, and to dry your skin thoroughly.  One danger that might not be so obvious to those who shower and dress without thinking is wet hair.  For women especially, wet hair can get your back and chest wet even after you’ve already dried them once.  This can be misleading, because you might believe you have dried your skin thoroughly only to have it dampened by the water clinging to your hair.  One way to resolve this problem is to dry and style your hair before you get dressed.  That way you will be able to give your skin one last towel-off before you put your clothes on. 

The importance of washing skin thoroughly is well-known.  But the fact is that drying skin thoroughly is just as important, even though its importance is often overlooked.  If you have problem acne, especially on your back, make sure that you are drying your skin thoroughly every time you shower, bathe, or wash.
