Method for simultaneously and permanently reshaping and coloring keratin fibers, particularly human hairs, in a single process in which the keratinic fibers are first waved by means of a foam-type waving agent (M1) and then lightened or colored by means of a foam-type coloring agent (M2). The permanent wave is simultaneously fixed by the oxidizing agent included in the oxidative dyeing agent. The method according to the invention brings about a uniform waving and coloring result and causes little or no damage to the hair.

A method useful for inhibiting moisture loss from skin comprises the step of administering a composition to a subject's skin. The composition comprises a first humectant and a second humectant different from the first humectant. The humectants are useful for increasing moisture content of the subject's skin, specifically the subject's epidermis. The first humectant may comprise a conventional humectant, e.g. glycerol. The second humectant generally comprises certain types of honey. The honey is capable of inhibiting moisture loss from the subject's epidermis and/or moisture loss from the first humectant when the subject is exposed to dry air conditions, e.g. wintertime air having a relative humidity of about 50% or less. Specifically, the second humectant is useful for mitigating adverse effects of the first humectant under certain conditions. Examples of suitable honeys generally include those comprising the flavanone hesperidin, such as orange blossom honey, buckwheat (blossom) honey, or a combination thereof.
