Lesson Content

What are Cosmetics?

Cosmetics are products applied to the body to improve appearance. They can:

1. Highlight facial features (foundation, blush).
2. Express personal style (lipstick, eyeliner, eyeshadow).
3. Protect skin (sunscreen).
4. Conceal imperfections.
5. Create special effects (theater,film).
6. Enhance natural beauty (lip gloss, mascara).
7. Provide therapeutic benefits (medicated creams, lotions).

What are Deodorants?

Deodorants control body odor. They can:

1. Control odor by reducing odor-causing bacteria.
2. absorb sweat (antiperspirant properties).
3. Boost confidence.
4. Provide a pleasant scent.
5. Prevent sweat stains on clothing.
6. Offer long-lasting protection.

Safe Use of Cosmetics and Deodorants

Cosmetics are products used to clean, protect or change appearance. Deodorants reduce body odour; antiperspirants reduce sweating. They do not replace bathing or clean clothes.

Use only age-appropriate, labelled products with adult guidance. Do not share eye or lip products, apply to broken skin or use skin-lightening mixtures with unknown ingredients. Stop and tell an adult if burning, swelling or rash occurs.
