by Roura DermSurgery

There’s no doubt that beauty is big business, here and around the world. The magazine The Economist says it’s currently a $ 160-billion-a-year industry worldwide,spanning every product and service from make-up, skin and hair care and fragrances to cosmetic surgery, health clubs and diet pills.

All this spending isn’t done in in vain, as being good-looking “confers enormous genetic and social advantages,” The Economist adds. Among others things, attractive people are deemed to be more intelligent and better in bed; surveys say the beautiful ones earn more and are more likely to marry. Charles Darwin, he of the evolutionary theory, underscored this when he wrote in his autobiography that the human species has a “universal passion for adorment,” often involving “wonderfully great suffering.”
