ABSTRACT
Throughout the ages, various attempts to beautify the skin have evolved. Techniques include the application of animal oils, salt, alabaster, Turkish fire exfoliation, and urine-bathed pumice stones.1
Aging effects on the skin are generally characterized as resulting from both intrinsic as well as extrinsic processes. Intrinsic aging refers to those processes that result purely from the passage of time.2 Extrinsic aging is due primarily to the effects of environmental ultraviolet (UV) radiation.3
