Described is a sebum removing method which comprises applying a liquid composition to the skin and holding a water absorptive or oil absorptive material against the surface of the applied skin to remove sebum together with the liquid composition. According to this method, sebum can be removed from the skin effectively and selectively without removing makeup from the made-up face.

Sebum removing method

The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions comprising (A) at least one amide derivative having a specified formula; and (B) at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of (B-1) polyhydric alcohols, (B-2) vegetable extracts and (B-3) organic acids or salts thereof. The compositions can enhance the water-retaining ability of the horny layer and have excellent effects for improving skin roughness and preventing the formation of wrinkles.

Cosmetic composition

Described is a cosmetic composition comprising (A) an amide compound having a melting point of 0 to 50.degree. C. and (B) a hydrophilic surfactant. The cosmetic composition according to the present invention can enhance the water-retaining ability of the stratum corneum and is excellent in skin-roughness lessening effects.

Cosmetic compositions

A detergent composition comprises 10 parts by weight of a phosphoric acid ester of the formula (I) or (II): ##STR1## in which R1, R2 and R3 each are a saturted or unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 8 to 18 carbon atoms, X and Y each are hydrogen, an alkali metal, ammonium or an alkanolamine having 2 to 3 carbon atoms and n, m and L each are zero or an integer of 1 to 10, and (B) 0.05 to 10 parts by weight of an insoluble metal salt of a surface active agent.
