The beauty industry has an intense influence on us, convincing us that if there is cellulite, then personal life can come to naught, and if the hair is faded and dull, then we need to urgently take action by buying expensive products, and it is they who will help us with this ... As a result, we we succumb to the hypnosis of promises of an instant return of youth with the help of some "miraculous" means and hurry to buy it.

And when a person gets sick, he often asks himself - what did I do wrong? Most of us do not see the connection between our disease and our environment. And among women, many do not ask the question - what cosmetics have I been using all this time? But when the disease is obvious, the question is about medicines, which are usually overly expensive, but health is more expensive ...

And so that precious time is not wasted in the pursuit of youth and beauty, and at the same time you remain young and healthy for many years, take a more serious approach to your lifestyle and the products and means that you buy.



Most often, doctors convince us that many diseases arise from the effects of bacteria, due to their contact with humans. However, we must remember that our health is sometimes lost from exposure to various chemicals that work to ensure that our hair became shinyand the skin is smooth and elastic.

Toxins build up in the body over time. In 2003, the European Union passed a law prohibiting the use of chemicals that can cause cell mutation, cancer or birth defects. The law requires cosmetics manufacturers to create alternative versions of their products that are free of carcinogens and toxins.

And we need to know what ingredients are included in our favorite remedy, and in case of suspicion, buy others that at least will not add problems to our body. Therefore, when buying cosmetics, you need to learn several rules, taking into account the ingredients in the composition of the product, what you pay for in the cosmetics store, how much these products can harm your health.




1. Don't buy cosmetics based on promotional promises or endorsements from notorious stars. If the stars advertise something, it does not mean that they use it, no matter what they say in their interviews. Examine the label and learn all about the suggested ingredients to determine the degree of danger. Become an ingredient expert.

2. Do not believe that if the product is called "natural", it does not contain preservatives - parabens and formaldehydes, synthetic fragrances and other toxic substances.

3. Remember, quality ingredients are not cheap. There are many lines of natural cosmetics that work just as well as expensive ones. The components indicated on the label are often purchased by manufacturers from the same source. Most of the ingredients are far from always exclusive, and many manufacturers grow future ingredients on their own plantations. But the difference in the cost of funds may depend on the concentration of various juices and extracts, vitamins and oils, then such cosmetic products are more expensive.

4. Don't compare your skin or hair to celebrities. All celebrities - ordinary girls and women who have flaws and complexes, and their ideal hair and skin is the result of the work of good makeup artists and computer graphics.

5. Do not believe in the existence of miraculous cosmetics. There are no remedies that can instantly heal your defects and shortcomings, which you also acquired over the years, excluding congenital ones. There are many effective active ingredients that can help improve the condition of your skin or hair.



6. Do not think that if the composition of the product is made by a famous doctor or chemist, stylist or star, then this is a special quality. Check the ingredients and their concentration over and over again.

7. Do not be faithful to the same cosmetic line just because you liked, for example, an anti-aging cream in it. If you feel like your skin needs a softer exfoliation, get a cleansing cream from a different line.

8. Ask for samples of products and try them on your skin.

9. Choose reliable packaging.

10. Don't believe that you need a moisturizer for your hands, and another for your body, that you need a cream for your face, and another for your neck and décolleté, that you need sunscreen for summer, and another for winter. Everything is not so difficult, and so much is not needed. It is the beauty industry that encourages us to buy more and more different products.

And the last thing - some women have radiant skin, but not because they use special means, but because their soul glows.
