International Beauty Day (09/09)

Beauty is inherent in everything healthy... It is harmony, it is the key to peace; she embodies ideals for man and humanity. If the ideal of beauty and its need are preserved among the people, then there is also a need for health and norms... Thus, the highest development of this people is guaranteed (F.M. Dostoevsky).

The International Committee on Cosmetology and Aesthetics SIDESCO took the initiative to create International Beauty Day, which is celebrated annually on September 9.

The International Committee on Cosmetology and Aesthetics SIDESCO (CIDESCO —Comité International D'Esthétique Et De Cosmétologie), which is considered the main international Beauty Therapy Association in the world, was founded in Brussels in 1946 and has since been formed by thousands of doctors around the world, thanks to the work of 33 departments in many countries.

Since 1957, the CIDESCO qualification has had uniform international standards. More than 220 schools around the world teach according to the organization’s uniform standards with the award of a CIDESCO diploma, which is considered the most prestigious qualification in the field of cosmetology.

The 20th century was revolutionary in the beauty field. Cosmetology, fashion, hairdressing and the art of self-care have stepped forward. New technologies and materials have appeared: design and extension of nails, hair, eyelashes, piercings, SPA, solarium. And with them new professions — plastic surgeon, makeup artist, stylist.

Since 1995, on this day, everything beautiful and beautiful is especially welcomed in the world, which brings aesthetic and moral pleasure. Therefore, in many cities and countries, beauty contests are held everywhere on September 9th.

The first ever beauty pageant was held in Belgium in September 1888, and the first beauty pageant, «Miss World», took place in London in April 1951.

Representatives of the fairer sex with classic parameters of 90-60-90 do not always participate in competitions. The jury identifies individuals endowed with unique beauty, which lies in the originality of their appearance.

In addition to beauty contests, various processions, promotions and festivals are also held on this day, in which people with an appearance that does not meet model standards or is distinguished by originality participate and are encouraged. And on this day, cosmetologists, makeup artists, cosmetics manufacturers and sellers, plastic surgeons, modeling workers and all beauty industry specialists celebrate their professional holiday.
