Thank you everyone for your respond. :) Hello, I would like to say thank you to all, who made corrections of my notes and gave me good advice how to write in here. Yesterday I complained a little bit, but now again I am encouraged :). I will try to make my notes as short as its possible. However still I would like to write about cosmetics, because this is my life. Of course I have another hobby such as belly dance, tennis, piano or cooking, but cosmetics are on the top right now, because I can feel this is my future. That would be wonderful to do things at your work that you really enjoy. That's why I would like to practice my English in this direction. Maybe someday I will find the job that I have always dreamed about. Thank you :) and have a nice day.

Why do I make cosmetics on my own? I started to make cosmetics on my own, because many products on the market didn`t face my requirements. However it doesn’t mean I am so demanding - I am not as much as my skin. I was suffering for alergy. Actually I am not sure if it was allergy, because I didn’t do any alergy tests. Anyway I always had problems with the complextion. Those weren’t serious problems as acne, but there were places with dry skin, some spots, redness, closed comedones, from time to time irritations. All those symptoms pointed that there is something wrong, and my skin isn’t in homeostasis. There was no natural balance. When I have noticed even little spot, sudennly I tried to do everything to “kill it”. I used harsh and invasive cosmetics containing high concentration of acids (for example: salicylic acid – its good exfoliant, but don’t use it everyday in high concentration), alkohol that dries out my skin, strong surfactants and others. Moreover I did everything to mat my face and I didn’t let the sebum to sefcretion. That was the reason of comedons. Now I am aware that all of symptomps were caused by me. It has started for adolescence till not so far ago. The things were changed when I stoped using comercial cosmetics. I didn’t suppose that improper skin care such as using bad matched cosmetics plays so important role. I saw a cream in the advertisement: nice package, few tempted words such natural, non-comedogenic, moistouraisng and matting – I thought that must be cream for me. But there is nothing more misleading. Not all products on the market are for us, and it doesn’t depends on price, but on needs of our body. Withouth alergy tests I am able to say that cosmetics contein plenty ingredients that we don’t really need, and in many cases they iritate skin, sometimes it leads to serious problems. Thats why I can’t use all available cosmetics. From time, when I have started to use 100% natural products (100% because I make them by myself) I have noticed the difference. My skin is soft, hydrated, has healthy color and there is no comedons. I would like to encourage you to making your own products. Its healthy, you know exactly what inside is and much more there is a lot of fun and satisfaction. Later on I will put some recipes and I will do my best to make my notes more proffesional. Thank you for corrections. :)

Cosmetics - an introduction. I don't know any woman who doesn't like using cosmetics. There are plenty of choices on the market and we can easily buy a personal care products all over the world. It seems that nowadays we are crazy over them, however cosmetics exist from ages. What is the point in aplication of cosmetics? Do we really know what is inside of that cute package, and how does it interact with our skin? What ingredients are good for us and what are harmful? I would like to introduce you a main ideas of usage cosmetics, knowledge about ingredients, row materials, cosmetic chemistry, skin proporties and generally wide range of cosmetic science. Probably most of you know how it works, but I would like to invite you to fallow my notes, ask a questions and discuss. I will try to update as much as I can. I count on your attention, any questions will be a motivation for me. :)
