Cosmetics that don’t work: an expert opinion
If you buy absolutely all new cosmetics – stop. Perhaps not all of them are effective.
Many girls make purchases spontaneously, and leaving a cosmetic store, they most often face two problems: a bunch of unnecessary products and a negative credit card balance. Most beauty products are really not what you need, and will only take up extra space on the shelf. Julia Angel, beauty blogger, beauty and health expert, business woman, president of Enhel Group Company, shared the secrets of which products will not bring significant benefits to your skin and sometimes even harm you. We advise you to write it down!
Such stripes exist for different parts of the face, where blackheads may be. Looks great – glued on, peeled off, and the skin is clean. Do you think this could be the case in reality? Of course no. Remember the beautician’s procedures? Before touching your face, he steams it, cleanses it and only then, not necessarily after the first procedure, relieves your skin of the hated blackheads. With such strips, and even black masks that have replaced them, you can slightly dry your face and remove the oily layer. In addition, this procedure can harm inflamed areas of the skin and contribute to the further spread of acne. If you want healthy, beautiful skin, you need to adjust your diet and go to a beautician. Have a professional prescribe your treatment regimen.
Oh, if you think that he will save you from the hated kilograms and you will lose weight in an instant, then an unpleasant surprise awaits you. Only hard work on yourself will give you slimness: regular training and proper nutrition. Good anti-cellulite massage also contributes to weight loss.
If they peel off, then such a procedure is unlikely to help you cope with the problem, and may even aggravate it. The skin of the lips is very delicate, and it is not worth trying to remove dry cracked particles even by the most delicate mechanical method. This can be very traumatic. Use oils, watch out for a sufficient level of vitamin intake, then your sponges will always be in their best shape.
Cosmetic companies today supply tons of products that can “stop time”. The special wrinkle-filling boosters, they say, have a powerful anti-age effect that significantly rejuvenates the skin. For some time now, they began to add hyaluronic acid to the composition. However, due to the fact that the hyaluronic acid molecule is quite large and gets stuck in the upper layers of the skin without invasive procedures at home, the product may not work at full capacity. It’s the same story with vitamin C and collagen. Therefore, when choosing boosters, look for high molecular weight hydrogen in the composition, which helps to deliver hyaluronic acid and other beneficial substances to the deep layers of the skin.
The same story as with anti-cellulite cream. It is impossible to keep our hair from splitting for long. Even the most expensive products will be useless, because from time to time you need to cut your hair. If you want to keep the length – find time to visit the hairdresser at least once every 2 months.
Hair / Eyelash / Eyebrow Growth Products
Any product that promises to make your eyelashes long and your eyebrows thick, like Cara Delevingne’s, are ineffective.
In the best case scenario, you will receive an unwanted dose of hormones, which in most cases are included in the composition. But such agents can also cause allergies, skin irritation and even impair vision.
Products with aggressive preservatives
Always look at the makeup of the cosmetics you buy. Such products have an extremely negative effect on your skin, and can destroy cells.
In particular, surfactants – emulsifiers and cleansing components – can have such an effect. They are obtained from three sources:
– vegetable raw materials – natural peas,
– oil and gas – mineral origin,
– synthesis in the laboratory – synthetic origin.
For the production of cosmetics, aggressive surfactants are used. They lead to skin diseases and premature aging, cause dryness, irritation, flaking. I advise you to check the packaging of the following ingredients: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Amnonium Lauryl Sulfate (ALS), Cocamide DEA and many others.
Parabens are often present in cosmetics. These preservatives are found almost everywhere: decorative cosmetics, medicines, food. However, they destroy skin enzymes, disrupt the hormonal balance, on the labels it is noted as methyl-, ethyl-, butyl, metagin, propagin.
