The average woman uses 16 cosmetic products a day, they found years ago in a survey conducted by the American cosmetic store SkinStore. The question is, why do we even buy the rest of the accessories if we only accumulate them in the cosmetic bag and rarely use them?
The selection of cosmetic products in stores is so diverse that we have become incapable of separating the wheat from the weeds. Alluring packaging and dreamy advertisements invite us to buy, so we do it again and again it is hard to resist the temptation and we bring home products that really they have no use value.
Because not all cosmetic products are equally useful and we want to help you with savings, we found 5+ useless beauty products that we throw money away, and we'd better stop buying them.
5+ cosmetic products we really DON'T NEED:
1. Sun cream with a protection factor of 50
A cream with a higher protection factor seems to protect the skin better, but it only gives us the feeling that we can spend longer in the sun than necessary. Dermatologists say it is recommended to choose a sunscreen with a protection factor between 15 and 30.
2. Night creams
Night creams are not completely useless, as they contain components that do not work during the day due to the sun's rays, but nevertheless, dermatologists say that the prices of special night creams are completely unjustified, and you also do not need them if you take proper care of your skin during the day .
3. Masks and creams for blackheads
Blackheads accumulate due to bacteria and oil on the skin. Masks and creams for blackheads only remove surface dirt, but also damage the protective layer on the skin, say dermatologists. According to them, it is better to buy a good cleansing gel.
4. Women's shaving creams
Foams and gels soften the hair and moisturize the skin for a smoother shave. The contents of women's and men's products are almost identical - the difference is in the smell, packaging and price. If the smell is not important to you, use men's foams and gels. Otherwise, shower gel or hair conditioner work just as well.
5. Neck cream
The skin on the neck is thin and sensitive, so it needs regular moisturizing. But that doesn't mean you have to buy special neck creams. The day cream you use will have the same effect, dermatologists assure.
6. Matte wipes for oily skin
Matte wipes that absorb oily skin can be really effective, but according to dermatologists, you won't get the same effect with regular wipes.
7. Top coat
The durability of the nail polish depends on the polish itself, which means that the base coat and top coat do not play as important a role as it might seem. You can't expect to achieve the same effect as a beautician in a salon - they say it's better to buy a quality nail polish that will last longer.
