nahahoolduse

Nahahoolduse is the Estonian term for skin care, formed from nahk (skin) and hooldus (care). It denotes the activities, products, and routines aimed at maintaining the skin's health and appearance.

Routine basics include cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection. Depending on skin type and concerns, people use exfoliation, serums, and targeted treatments. Skincare can be daily, seasonal, and tailored to conditions like acne, eczema, or aging.

Historical context: skincare practices have existed across cultures; modern skincare emerged with cosmetic science and mass-market products in the 20th century; in Estonia and elsewhere, routines incorporate both traditional botanicals and contemporary formulations.

Professional skincare involves dermatology and esthetic services; the consumer market includes cosmetics and over-the-counter products; ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, retinoids, vitamin C, and sunscreen are common.

Regulation and safety: cosmetics in Estonia and the European Union are regulated to ensure safety and clear labeling; patch testing is often recommended, and individuals should consult a healthcare professional for persistent skin issues or if allergic reactions occur.
