The emerging field of Nanotechnology could revolutionize cosmetics by radically subverting our notion of what is natural. NanoLift explores the possibility of a physical Photoshop. A grid of tiny magnetic nano particles injected into the skin could be used to physically adjust and change the human face. A nano tattoo, developed by Heather Clark of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Northeastern University, could be injected into the skin to provide an instant snapshot of the body's inner workings. Furthermore, current research could lead to potential nano-sized colorants, which could redefine future coloring techniques and even prevent greying of the hair. Grown from your own skin cells, Skin Paper by Vanessa Harden and Tommaso Lanza could be developed into a book to be used for testing cosmetics on potential nano skin.
