If you look at the history of mankind, you will learn that
there have been skincare regimens in order for them to achieve the beautiful
skin they want. In the 1600s up to 1800s time, pale white skin is considered to
be fashion. In order to make the skin of the men and women like this, they need
to bleach their skin with mixtures such as lead and vinegar. This process is
considered to be dangerous since there is a huge chance that the skin will
absorb the arsenic and poison the major organs and blood of the person.
Today, there are many people still abusing the skin in order
to gain the tan color by exposing it to UV rays. As we all know, the skin is
the biggest organ in our body and it is composed of 16 percent total body
weight. There are many functions being performed by the skin such as regulating
temperature, protecting our body and provide the sense of touch. One of the
major roles of the skin is to protect us from the ultraviolet rays. There are
instances where we use sun block in order to aid the skin from absorbing the UV
rays without even thinking that it can cause skin cancer and wrinkles.
