Etymology

The term 'skincare' has its roots in the combination of the words 'skin' and 'care.' The word 'skin' comes from the Old Norse word 'skinn' which means 'hide' or 'covering,' while 'care' originates from the Old English 'caru,' which refers to 'sorrow' or 'anxiety' but also carries the connotation of 'to take care of.' The rising popularity of skincare dates back to ancient civilizations, where oils, creams, and herbal remedies were utilized for skin health. In the 20th century, the beauty industry began to formalize and commercialize skincare products, leading to the development of a wide variety of solutions tailored to different skin concerns. Today, skincare has evolved into a multibillion-dollar global industry with an emphasis on self-care and wellness.
