Exposure of cosmetic myths

Many cosmetic products are sold very well, thanks to the myths supported by the manufacturing companies. We see and hear the same thing in advertisements, in stores and on TV, so everyone thinks it's true. But in reality, the beauty industry specifically supports some myths, because it is so beneficial, for example, we often hear about rejuvenating agents and how effective are natural ingredients. Let's look at these myths closer.


Myth number 1: If the product is expensive, then it's good

Fact: Both bad and good products are part of the funds of any price category - both expensive and cheap. There are many expensive cosmetics, which include only water and wax, and there are also inexpensive products that have a composition of the order better. Therefore, if you have expensive cosmetics, this does not mean that it is more useful than in cosmetics, which costs less. Also, if you have purchased a cheap product, this does not mean that it will harm you. Everything depends not on the price of cosmetics, but on its composition.

Myth # 2: Cosmetic products should be selected by age

Fact: People of the same age have different types of skin, so any make-up needs to be chosen by type of skin, not by age. Oily, combination, dry, normal, sun damaged skin, allergy, eczema - what does this have to do with age? Many young women and girls have combined skin, and many women of the age too. There is no documented research that shows that mature skin does not need the same as the young one. Often the jars, which are written "for mature skin" - it's just moisturizing aids and nothing more.

Myth # 3: During the day and night, the skin has different needs

Fact : For the skin to look great, it needs antioxidants, basic ingredients and communicating ingredients to maintain health. Therefore, the only difference between day and night cosmetic products should be the presence of a sunscreen component for use in the daytime.

Myth number 4: With age, pimples in women are

Fact: Many women after 35, 45 and even 55 may suffer from acne, as well as adolescents. If the age of advancement you did not have acne, this does not mean that they will never appear. Often, men have acne still in adolescence, when hormones cease to play, and women live with hormonal fluctuations for most of their life (this is the reason why acne often jumps during menstruation).

Myth # 5: A quality product can be in any package

Fact: First of all, pay attention to the packaging - it's very important! Vitamins, antioxidants and other effective substances simply can not carry air, not to mention that when you take the cream with your fingers, you let the bacteria in there. Therefore, when buying, please pay attention to the packaging.

Myth # 6: With prolonged use of one cosmetic means, the skin gets used, so it needs to be changed from time to time.

Fact: Your skin gets used to the cosmetology, as well as the body to a healthy diet. If a tomato and an orange are now useful for your body, then in 15 years they will be for vampolezny, even if you will eat them every day. It also happens with your skin - you can use your favorite cosmetics as much as you want. Also use sunscreen creams to preserve the results you have achieved.

Myth # 7: Natural components are better than synthetic ones

Fact: There are many natural ingredients that are very useful for the skin, but there are also a lot of natural ingredients that are harmful to it, because they cause irritation. Because of the irritation, the skin produces less collagen, it begins to harden itself and, as a result, grows old. Natural ingredients that irritate the skin may contain menthol, camphor, lime, essential oils, lemon, ylang ylang, lavender and many more. There are many synthetic ingredients that perfectly impact the skin. Many manufacturers use both natural and synthetic ingredients, the effectiveness and utility of which is proven.

Myth # 8: There are cosmetic products that can remove wrinkles

Fact: Unfortunately, there is not such an unhealthy product that can prevent the appearance of wrinkles or remove them. Even the most expensive means are not capable of this. There is only one way to avoid skin aging - every day use sunscreen before you get sunburn. Of course, there are products that can improve the skin, make it more elastic and elastic. These include moisturizing moisturizers with antioxidants, sunscreens, retinoids, exfoliates and many others. But remember that the money that promises you to get rid of wrinkles, will never do it. Think yourself, if creams and really could clean the wrinkles, then every month would not release new funds, and all the grandmother would be young and beautiful.

Myth # 9: For sensitive skin, you need "hypoallergenic" products

Fact: There are no medical rules and standards for which the product can really be considered "hypoallergenic". It's just a marketing move.

Myth # 10: Acne comes from make-up

Fact: Most likely not. There are no studies that prove that makeup or cosmetics are the cause of the appearance of acne, as well as there are no studies that would show which components are problematic. Back in the 1970s, an experiment was carried out on the rabbit's skin to check whether or not there might be an outbreak. The ingredients of 100% concentration were applied to him, but there was no skin loss. Later found that this study has nothing to do with the use of makeup by women. But nevertheless, women still get pimples from some skin care products. Such a reaction can be on some components in the product, which cause irritating agents. What does it mean? Find yourself the optimal version of cosmetic products will need to be trial and error. Experiment and understand what suits your skin, and what causes irritation. There are no medical precautions that could help you in this. The main thing to remember is that Tamgame says "does not cause acne" and "does not clog pores" is not at all true, in the cosmetic industry it means nothing.

Myth # 11: Feeling tingling or chilling is indicative that the cosmetic product really works

Fact: This statement is far from the truth! Tingling is a clear sign of irritation, which will lead to an inflammation of the skin. The products that give such a sensation, when used, can cause you harm: to disrupt the production of elastin and collagen, to disrupt the healing process and to increase the growth of bacteria, which necessarily leads to acne. Remember that peppermint, camphor and menthol are potential irritants. Why are they added to the cosmetic products? To cause local inflammation and thereby reduce it in deeper adjoining tissues. In other words, one inflammation is replaced by another, and this is in any case bad for the skin. Even if the skin does not show irritation, with agents with irritating ingredients, you will harm your skin every day.

The choice is yours, believe in it, or continue to spend time and money on funds that will not bring the desired result. Now you know that you should not blindly believe in all the beautiful advertising that promises the impossible. Eat right, observe strong-shouldered, take care of yourself and then at any age you will look fine.
