In these new views can hypothetically register the speciality of cosmetology, which is called nutricosmetics. The term - nutricosmetics - has an evolutionary character and its range changes with the progress of knowledge in cosmetology and food science and human nutrition. The modern cosmetology can be considered at three levels of the biodiversity of the world around us, i.e. ecosystemic, species and genetic. In this paper a hypothetical evolution of nutricosmetcs is proposed that extends beyond classical historical knowledge about the development of cosmetology. The evolution of nutricosmetics is based on genetic knowledge of the environment, focusing on the creation of the human species. It was emphasized the role of food and nutrition in the formation of the physical and mental human nature. Besides, it was noted that cosmetology developed not only by changes in the environment but also with the development of nutrigenomics. It was also found that nutricosmetics is a consequence of the development of nutrigenomics. The scientific progress in the field of cosmetology has created a personalized cosmetology. Finally, an integrated model of nutricosmetic beauty parlor was proposed, that creates an interdisciplinary team of experts in cosmetics, dermatology, nutrition and wellness. The aim of this nutricosmetic beauty parlor is not only the cosmetic changes but also promotion of a healthy lifestyle. Key words: nutricosmetics, prohealth cosmetology, food evolution, cosmetology, epigenetics, nutrigenomics |
