If space is the final frontier, the search for perfect skin gives it a run for its money. The Space Race, in which the Soviet Union and United States competed to make strides in space exploration, lasted roughly from 1957 to 1975. It was during the 1960s that the marketing of skincare products changed from being sold exclusively by chemists and department stores to mass market availability (grocery and convenient stores). It follows that skincare lines have as silly, faux-futuristic sounding names as spacecrafts. See if you can tell the difference between the two types of names with this quiz.
