Every woman wants to be beautiful. Cosmetic manufacturers know this. They do everything to make this wish come true.
Indeed, a few decades ago, girls did not even dream of such an abundance of cosmetics. Now you can buy anything, but the question arises, is it necessary?
Are “miraculous” remedies so effective, or is it just a marketing ploy? If it were that simple, then all the women in the world would be beautiful.
But how can a cream get rid of extra pounds or restore youth? Compelled to upset you – no. Most cosmetics have no effect, but are very expensive.
The promises made by manufacturers are nothing more than marketing tricks, you should not believe them and buy up half the store in pursuit of beauty.
Below are 10 of the most useless beauty products that are made to bleed money out of us.
10 Remedy for split ends
Advertising beauties with thick and long hair promise that a magical remedy will save you from split ends. Girls believe advertising and rush to the store.
It should be noted that the remedy for split ends is an expensive pleasure, but ineffective. It is not able to repair split ends, it only glues them together so that the hair does not appear damaged.
There is only one way out – a haircut. Of course, you can use preventive measures, but this also does not make much sense. It is better to spend this money on taking care of your health. If you eat well and provide your body with the necessary vitamins, your hair will look perfect.
9. Leg shaving cream
Useless tool, the price of which is usually unreasonably high. Indeed, shaving cream does an excellent job of softening the hair follicles and making the razor glide easier.
Here are just a shower gel and even ordinary soap have the same effect. Of course, shaving cream is much more pleasant to apply, but it’s up to you to decide whether it’s worth overpaying for this dubious pleasure.
By the way, hair conditioner does an excellent job with this task. So you can not spend extra money, but use the tool that has already firmly established itself on the shelf of your bathroom.
8. Lip balm
Manufacturers promise that the lip balm will make them soft and tender, and also give a delicious aroma.
Many girls regularly use such products and note that they have a good effect and really moisturize their lips.
In fact, most hygienic lipsticks and lip balms contain alcohol, which dries out the delicate skin of the lips, forcing women to constantly use these products. Stop using lip balms and your lips will do just fine on their own.
If you can’t do without lip balm, choose one with natural ingredients that won’t be addictive.
7. Neck cream
Every woman knows that the neck gives away a woman’s age. None of them wants to look old, so a neck cream is a great solution. So, at least, the manufacturers promise.
Yes, the skin of the neck needs care and hydration, but this cream is nothing more than an extra waste. Your face cream can do a good job of moisturizing.
Dermatologists even recommend using one cream for the skin of the face, neck and chest.
When buying a cream, pay attention to the composition, choose one that will protect against ultraviolet rays.
6. Face tonic
There are no questions about the need to use a tonic for the face in women. This tool is in the cosmetic bag of every girl.
Actually, it’s not needed either. The task of a facial tonic is to restore the balance of the skin, cleanse and moisturize it. If you choose the right skin cleanser, you won’t need to use it.
Purchase a good cleanser, cream or one that is alcohol and lye free. They, as a rule, cleanse the skin well, additional cleansing with a tonic is not required.
5. Anti-aging shampoos and hair products
The most effective method to get women to buy the product is fear. Women are very afraid of growing old and are ready to buy up all the means that promise to prolong youth. Anti-aging shampoo from this series.
Hair aging is an irreversible process, no means will help you in the fight against old age. Choose a good remedy that suits you and pay more attention to taking care of your body. Drink vitamins, eat healthy foods, then your hair will look much better, and no anti-aging shampoos will be needed.
4. Foot cream
The stores offer a huge selection of products that are ready to compete for the beauty of your legs. Unfortunately they are completely useless.
If you want your feet to be beautiful, take a foot bath with sea salt a couple of times a week, then treat them with a pumice stone.
A miraculous foot cream can replace a regular body cream. Not only will you save money, but space as well. There are no fundamental differences in the composition of foot cream and body cream, why would you clutter up your bathroom?
3. Eye Cream
This tool is in the cosmetic bag of every woman who takes care of herself at least a little. Still, the skin around the eyes is thin and delicate, wrinkles appear early in this area. Manufacturers of creams around the eyes promise that the product will cope with blue, “bags” and wrinkles.
If you have dark circles under your eyes, the cream will not help you. Perhaps you have health problems, you eat poorly, do not get enough sleep. Do not forget to monitor your health, then you will not have such problems.
Of course, do not ignore the procedure for moisturizing the skin around the eyes. For this purpose, use a regular face cream that you use constantly. The compositions of these creams are absolutely identical, and creams for the skin around the eyes are very expensive.
2. Night face cream
Night face cream is not only useless, but also harmful. At night, the skin is restored. If you regularly apply the cream before going to bed, the skin stops taking care of itself. The sebaceous glands produce less moisture as it is no longer needed.
The cream does a great job of moisturizing. There is an addiction. Women apply the product every night, thinking that it helps them cope with dryness, in fact, it provokes its appearance.
Give your skin a rest, don’t use a night cream, it’s just not necessary.
1. Anti-cellulite cream
Perhaps this is the most popular remedy for women. The closer the bathing season, the greater the revenue from manufacturers of anti-cellulite products.
If an “orange peel” appears, the cream will not help. A number of complex procedures are needed, first of all, it is proper nutrition and physical activity.
If you eat buns and lie on the couch, don’t expect any effect. At first glance, it may seem that the appearance of the skin has improved. These products contain caffeine, which has a positive effect on blood circulation. The cream also moisturizes the skin, so it looks a little better. A regular body cream will cope with this task. The effect will be the same, and you will save a decent amount.
