Cosmetics covers more than just makeup. It includes those things you use to make your skin soft, clear up skin problems, and things you use on your hair. Most of us only need a few basic items - bath soap, body lotion, shampoo, conditioner. Others may have more problems with dry skin, oily skin, chapped skin, or other problems that only skinceuticals can alleviate.

For instance, my feet tend to be extremely dry which means I have to use rich creams on them to even stay comfortable. But I can use something as simple as pure cocoa butter on the remainder of my skin and it works just fine. I like to steer clear of anything that contains alcohol since it seems to further dry out my skin. Read your lotion labels to learn if they contain alcohol.
