Role of Cosmetic Products in Skin Protection

I. Role of Cosmetic Products in Skin Protection

A. Protection Against UV Radiation

• Sunscreens safeguard against premature skin aging and skin cancer.

B. Control of Bacterial Proliferation

• Creams and lotions with bactericidal properties help reduce excessive bacteria, particularly for oily skin and acne formation.

C. Moisture Retention

• Moisturizing ingredients create an invisible barrier to minimize moisture loss and dehydration.

D. Internal Organ Protection

• Skin protects internal organs from oxygen exposure; without it, organs would oxidize rapidly, similar to a peeled banana or apple.
