The human skin is exposed to an extraordinary hostile environment over the course of a lifetime. Whereas there are multiple product types that consumers may select to help preserve and protect the skin.  At a minimum, cleansing, moisturisation, and protection against solar ultraviolet radiation are elements of any strategy designed for skin health.

 

To achieve the greatest benefit from these skin protection treatments, products must be carefully formulated, chosen, and used, since poorly designed or misused products may exacerbate symptoms associated with unhealthy skin.
