Alarm about family's use of certain cosmetics? (8)

I believe the answer is:

skincare

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'use of certain cosmetics?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'alarm about family's' is the wordplay.
'alarm' becomes 'scare' (I've seen this before).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'family' becomes 'kin' (synonyms).
'scare' going around 'kin' is 'SKINCARE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
