Soaking up any wetness from your body. gymnists in particular use it on their hands so they can use equipment properly. some dancers use it on their feet before they put on their shoes. mothers used to use it on babies when they were changing them to absorb moisture, but now that idea is bad because they babies were inhaling it...you can basically use it for anytime you want to soak up moisture.

It's used in facial make-up to give a non-oily matte finish, but not by professionals. Besides, there are body talcs used for a fresh, de-odourising feel.

The talk powder,is used for greasy skin.It absorbes the exces sebum from the face or scalp,because the hole skin of our body produces sebum,or "grease"to protect itself from drying or bacterias.It may also be used against exces sweating.People who sweat too much,use sprays or creams wich contain talc,again,because it absorbes the "water" produced by our body.

aside from soaking up oil, it's also helpful if you put in on your legs before putting on vinyl pants.
