Facial enhancement substances

Cosmetics are substances applied to the body, especially the face, to enhance appearance or alter skin condition.

The category includes makeup like lipstick and foundation, as well as skincare products, lotions, and perfumes.

As an adjective, cosmetic describes something superficial or intended only to improve appearance without addressing underlying issues: The renovations were purely cosmetic.

A cosmetic procedure in medicine improves looks rather than treating disease or injury.
