Abstract

A method for improving skin radiance and luminosity comprising treating with skin with a cosmetic composition comprising a self-tanning ingredient that is present in an amount insufficient to provide a visually perceptible tan on the skin.

Claims

1. A method for improving skin radiance and luminosity comprising treating with skin with a color cosmetic composition comprising a self-tanning ingredient that is present in an amount insufficient to provide a visually perceptible tan on the skin.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the self-tanning ingredient is dihydroxyacetone.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the color cosmetic composition is a color-cosmetic composition containing iron oxide pigments.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the color cosmetic composition is anhydrous.

5. The method of claim 3 wherein the color cosmetic composition is an emulsion.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the color cosmetic composition is a blush, eyeshadow, foundation makeup, eyeliner, lipliner, mascara, lipstick, or lip gloss.

7. The method of claim 5 wherein the color cosmetic composition is a water and oil emulsion foundation makeup composition.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the foundation makeup is a water in oil emulsion.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the self tanning ingredient tans skin by reacting with the amino acids present in skin keratin.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein the amount of self tanning ingredient ranges from about 0.0001 to 3% by weight of the total composition.

11. The method of claim 1 wherein the color cosmetic composition is a water in silicone oil emulsion comprising from about 0.1-85% water, 0.1-75% silicone oil, and from about 0.01-45% pigments, all percentages by weight of the total composition.

12. The method of claim 1 wherein the skin radiance is improved.

13. The method of claim 1 wherein skin luminosity is improved.

14. The method of claim 1 wherein the cosmetic composition is a water in silicone oil emulsion foundation makeup composition comprising, by weight of the total composition, from about 0.01-99% water, from about 0.01-85% silicone oil, and from about 0.001-20% of a polyorganosiloxane-polyoxyalkylene surfactant;

and from about 0.01-50% particulate matter.

15. The method of claim 14 wherein the particulate matter comprises a mixture of pigments and powders.

16. The method of claim 14 wherein the polyorganosiloxane-polyoxyalkylene surfactant comprises dimethicone copolyol, cetyl dimethicone copolyol, or mixtures thereof.

17. The method of claim 14 wherein the composition further comprises one or more humectants.

18. The method of claim 17 wherein the humectants are present ranging from about 0.01-20% by weight of the total composition.

19. The method of claim 1 wherein the cosmetic composition is a skin cream or lotion containing from about 0.01-99% water, 0.01-85% silicone oil, from about 0.01-20% nonionic surfactant, and from about 0.01-20% of one or more skin benefit agents.

20. The method of claim 19 wherein the skin benefit agents are

botanicals.
