Summary

The book "Nanocosmetics and nanomedicines: new approaches for skin care#xE2;#xAC; contains a summary of the most important nanocarriers for skin delivery. Although #xE2;#xAC;Snanocosmetics#xE2;#xAC; is a subject widely commented in the academy and the beauty industry, a book covering the skin care treatments using nanotechnological approaches with cosmetics and nanomedicines is still missing, therefore the need for this publication. This book is divided in three parts: The first one (Part A) is devoted to a brief review on the main topics related to the skin delivery and to the introduction of the subject #xE2;#xAC;Snanocosmetics#xE2;#xAC;. The second part (Part B) presents different types of nanocarriers applied as skin delivery systems for cosmetics or drugs. The last part (Part C) shows a wide range of applications of nanotechnology on the skin care area as well as on dermatocosmetic and dermatological fields.
