People use many different "beauty products" (products designed to make one more beautiful) to treat skin "blemishes" (unwanted, unattractive marks) and improve the "condition" (state; health) of their skin.

People can buy many different "bar soaps" (a small, rectangular block of soap) and "body washes" (liquid soap) to wash their skin. Many of these have "fragrances" (scents; smells) to make people smell nice. Other soaps are "antibacterial" (with the power to kill bacteria) or are made for "sensitive skin" (skin that is irritated easily).

After washing, many people "apply" (use; put on) "moisturizing" (adding liquid) "lotions" (creams). Lotions are used to "hydrate" (add water to) the skin, making it feel softer and look younger. Many of these lotions also have fragrances. Others have vitamin E or other "substances" (components; parts) that are designed to reduce "wrinkles" (small lines on the skin caused by age) and make skin look younger. Many women, in particular, use special under-eye creams that are supposed to reduce wrinkles.

Sometimes people use special "face masks," which are thick substances put on the skin, creating a "mask" (a cover for the face). When the dry mask is washed off, the skin underneath is cleaner than it was before. Other people use "exfoliating scrubs," which are creams with small, hard pieces that are rubbed against the skin to remove dead skin cells. This is supposed to "reveal" (show) younger, healthier-looking skin.

Finally, many people use "sunscreen" (lotions that prevent sunburns) to protect their skin from "UV" (ultraviolet; light from the sun) damage. Other people want to have the "appearance" (look) of a tan without being exposed to the sun, so they might choose to use a "self-tanner" (a cream that temporarily makes one's skin appear darker).
