10 Cosmetic Items You Spend Money On

According to a survey by the SkinStore online store, women use around 16 cosmetics daily. And this is not surprising: practically every day new “irreplaceable” products appear on the market that, sooner or later, are part of our makeup bag. However, not all advertised products deserve a place on it.

O awesome.club proposes to check your toiletry bag to find articles whose benefit is uncertain or in general does not exist.

In recent years, coconut oil has become one of the most popular natural cosmetics. It is often used in conjunction with a moisturizing cream or to purify the skin. However, it is not a universal product suitable for everyone. It can clog pores and cause acne in some people. If you have oily skin, it is better to use another product for face care.

The mist for the face promises skin hydration, but not everything is so simple. Dry skin not only needs moisture, but also the substances they contain. Without them, the liquid simply evaporates from the surface of the skin. The more mist you put on your face, the more moisture will evaporate. That’s why it can not only be useless, but harmful: in its composition there is nothing but water, odorants and dyes, and the latter can cause allergies in people with sensitive skin. If you like cosmetics in the form of a mist, choose those that contain glycerin, propylene glycol, hyaluronic acid and aloe vera extract.

With a desire to save money, some people do a chemical peel at home, but this is one of the procedures that is best left in the hands of professionals. These products are designed to remove the top layer of skin and a small mistake in their use can cause major damage.

As in the case of chemical peels for face care, it is best to go to a professional cosmetologist. Such instruments in the wrong hands will be ineffective at best, and at worst will leave red spots and scars.

Such a mirror can facilitate face care, and enhance all our imperfections. Because of this, it may seem that there are more problems with our skin than we actually have. Therefore, it is better to use a regular mirror with good lighting.

No matter how much they write on the labels and we want to believe in the miraculous properties of anti-cellulite creams, they just don’t work. In addition, cellulite is a natural anatomical peculiarity, common in many people. Its appearance does not depend on weight gain and loss, in this case what influences are hormones and genetics.

Unfortunately, stretch mark creams are also useless. They simply hydrate the skin and because of that it looks better. For those who use it, it may seem that stretch marks have become less visible. But in order to moisturize the skin, it is not necessary to buy such expensive cosmetics: this task can be perfectly fulfilled by usual moisturizing creams and oils, such as cocoa oil.

Often, cuticle creams, in their composition, are very different from regular creams, as it is just a method to force people to buy one more product. If you don’t want to overpay for a nice cuticle care container, use regular oils or moisturizers.

Often, the lip scrub is presented as a simple balm with exfoliating particles at a high price. In addition, the skin on the lips is soft and this product exfoliates both dead skin and normal skin. In the end, the lips become drier and crack more. Therefore, for lip care, it is better to choose those balms that do not contain alcohol.

This is another product that could be considered a waste of money. Some can straighten the ends temporarily and create an illusion of no split ends. But it is not possible to return the former appearance of the tips. The best method to eliminate damaged or split ends is to cut them off.
