Cosmetics for men. Men, stay beautiful!

Cosmetics actually have a veryancient history. During excavations in Egypt were found samples of the powder, shadow, rouge, whose age is estimated thousands of years. It was found that the makeup was not only used by women, but also by men. And cosmetics were often used in religious rituals or for the treatment or prevention of diseases. Thus, the Egyptian eye shadow, made on the basis of copper and lead sulphide, was thought to protect well from insects and prevent eye diseases.

In ancient Greece there was already a specialty "Cosmet"- a man who helped select the means for skin care, made ointments and put on make-up. And at the excavations of the parking of primitive people, mixtures of fat and dyes resembling modern lipstick were found. At the same time, researchers have no doubt that they could be painted as primitive ladies, and men - before the hunt or religious ritual.

Modern cosmetic products are divided into many categories. Including:

- Caring means;

- medical (contain medicinal products);

- decorative means;

- professional (used mainly in salons);

- individual (used at home);

- funds for the body, face (emulsions, creams, tonics, masks, powder, etc.);

- hygienic;

- hair products (shampoos, conditioners, balms, masks);

- cosmetics to prevent age-related changes.

In recent years, among the drugs for careface, body and hairdo periodically appear cosmetics for men. In addition to the men's shampoos (they differ from women's fragrance and, sometimes, some ingredients) and men's shaving series (shaving foams, after shave lotions) on the shelves you can see men's anti-aging serums, creams and masks, including for the contour eye. A feature of the skin in men is that it undergoes aging at a later age, but it ages quickly and dramatically. Therefore, representatives of the stronger sex can begin to use caring cosmetics in adulthood.

But problems with hair may begin even in adolescence. The reasons for this are more than enough, in particular:

- poor-quality food (lack of protein, vitamins E, C, F, etc.);

- Seasonal factors (absence of a headdress in the winter period of time);

- stressful situations;

- unfavorable ecology;

- chronic infectious diseases (nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, caries, etc.);

- hormonal disorders;

hereditary predisposition.

Any of the above factors or theirthe combination can lead to the fact that the male hairstyle will begin to thin out, and for the return of her former beauty will need measures to eliminate the cause, as well as cosmetics from hair loss. In the market, shampoos based on stem cells of immature grapes, unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins, lipid-based shampoos, proteins, amino acids, and masks to prevent hair loss using the contrast effect of heat and coolness (mainly Japanese production) are offered for this purpose. Ampoules of concentrated substances against prolapse are also sold (with aminexil and other active substances).

In some cases,cosmetic products on the basis of traditional medicine. They can include a yolk mask (one yolk and a tablespoon of vodka mixed, applied to the hair for 40 minutes) and acetic lotion (100 grams of chopped nettle leaves are boiled in half a liter of water, which is added two tablespoons of 6% vinegar. scalp before going to bed for a month). The effectiveness of these products is confirmed by time, and inexpensive ingredients make such lotions and masks available to many.
