Every woman wants to be beautiful. They are doing everything to make this wish come true.
Indeed, several decades ago, girls did not even dream of such an abundance of cosmetics. Now you can buy anything, but the question arises whether it is necessary?
Are “miraculous” funds effective or is it just a marketing ploy? If everything was so simple, then all the women in the world would become beauties.
But can a cream relieve extra pounds or restore youth? Forced to upset you - no. Most cosmetics have no effect, but they are very expensive.
The promises that manufacturers make are nothing more than marketing tricks; you should not believe them and buy up a half-store in pursuit of beauty.
Below are the 10 most useless cosmetics that are made to pump money out of us.
10. Remedy for split ends of hair
Advertising beauties with thick and long hair promise that a magical tool will save you from split ends. Girls believe in advertising and rush to the store.
It should be noted that the remedy for split ends is not cheap, but ineffective. It is not able to restore split ends, it only glues them so that the hair does not seem damaged.
There is only one way out - a haircut. Of course, you can use funds for prevention, but this also does not make much sense. Better 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. Foot shaving cream
A useless remedy, the price of which is usually unreasonably high. Indeed, shaving cream does its job well - it softens the hair follicles and makes the razor glide easier.
Here are just shower gel and even ordinary soap have the same effect. Of course, applying shaving cream is a lot nicer, but whether you should pay extra for this dubious pleasure, decide for yourself.
By the way, hair conditioner copes with this task perfectly. So you can not spend extra money, but use the tool that is already firmly established on the shelf of your bathroom.
8. Lip balm
Manufacturers promise that lip balm will make them soft and delicate, as well as give a delicious aroma.
Many girls regularly use such remedies and note that they have a good effect and really moisturize their lips.
In fact, most hygienic lipsticks and lip balms contain alcohol that dries the delicate skin of the lips, forcing women to constantly use these products. Stop using lip balms, and the lips themselves will perfectly cope with hydration.
If you can not do without hygienic lipstick, choose a product with natural ingredients that will not cause addiction.
7. Neck cream
Every woman knows that the neck indicates the age of the woman. None of them wants to seem old, so 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 well with the moisturizing function.
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 the one that will protect against ultraviolet rays.
6. Face tonic
The need to use facial tonic for women does not even raise questions. This remedy is in every girl’s cosmetic bag.
In fact, it is also not needed. The tasks of face tonic are to restore skin balance, cleanse and moisturize it. If you choose the right skin cleanser, you won’t need to use it.
Get a good cleanser, cream or one that does not contain alcohol and alkali. They, as a rule, cleanse the skin well, additional cleansing with tonic is not required.
5. Anti-aging shampoos and hair products
The most effective way to get women to buy a remedy is fear. Women are very afraid of aging and are ready to buy up all the funds that promise to prolong their 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 product that suits you and pay more attention to caring for 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 have a huge selection of tools that are ready to compete for the beauty of your legs. Unfortunately, they are absolutely useless.
If you want your legs to be beautiful, do 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. You will not only save money, but also a place. There are no fundamental differences in the composition of foot cream and body cream, why do you need to litter your bathroom?
3. Eye cream
This remedy is in the makeup bag of every woman who at least takes care of herself. 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 the 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. Use for this purpose 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 cream for the face is not only useless, but also harmful. At night, the skin is restored. If you regularly apply the cream before bedtime, the skin ceases to take care of itself. The sebaceous glands produce less moisture since it is no longer needed.
Cream perfectly copes with the moisturizing function. There is a dependency. 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, do not use a night cream, this is simply not necessary.
1. Anti-cellulite cream
Perhaps this is the most popular remedy for women. The closer the swimming season, the greater the revenue from manufacturers of anti-cellulite products.
If an “orange peel” has appeared, the cream will not help. A number of complex procedures are needed, first of all, proper nutrition and physical activity.
If you eat buns and lie on the couch, do not expect any effect. At first glance, it may seem that the appearance of the skin has improved. Such products contain caffeine, which positively affects 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.
