click fraud protection

Everyone praises his own, and his looking for all the benefits, and in another - the shortcomings. If it is determined that it is better - black or white, both sides gather up and head and share as many arguments in defense of his color, that by confusing who to believe. Both sides are persuasive. This is the eternal problem of the usefulness of the information, when there is no third party that has no selfish interest to black or white, so it will be able to objectively weigh the "pros" and "cons."

Below are the 14 cosmetic misconceptions that mislead people and in which, for some reason, eager to embrace. We love and natural cosmetics, and synthetics. Therefore, we have no reason to choose one side and look for all the shortcomings in the other side. We appreciated everything objectively.

Myth №1. Olive oil can replace cream

A favorite myth of all supporters of folk remedies. By the way, you know, that the authors of collections of folk remedies invent recipes with your head? What they see in front of you in the kitchen, then record and mix in their recipes. Such are the cases.

The olive oil containing linoleic and oleic acid. They seem to be "diluted" the lipids of the epidermis and the skin becomes dry over time. Here you have a super-ability of olive oil.

Therefore it is not in vain in creams several components! Yes, there is a cream based on olive oil, but this cream has more components to extinguish the possibility acids "dilute" the top layer of skin lipids.

Do not forget that the benefits of cosmetic oils is only possible after the peel.

Myth №2. Luxury and cheap cosmetics differ only packing

While the world's few manufacturers can boast of their own beauty standards and formulas. Create your own cream base - more expensive than buying it from third parties.

Famous brands at the hearing, such as Givenchy, never does not allow this, they have their own laboratories, and they developing brand makeup base - added to it such ingredients whose origin is in itself unique. Hence, such a cost.

So that not only the packaging and brand value affects the final cost of the cosmetic product.

Myth №3. Cream begin to deteriorate immediately after opening a jar

Preservatives are not just added to the product. Their goal is to increase the shelf life. And at the very cream of the presence of these preservatives are not in any way adversely affected.

Even wide bank, where the higher the contact area of ​​a cream with the air - not the cause of the fact that the cream is rapidly deteriorate.

For sensitive and painful skin smart producer uses as packaging sealed ampoules.

Myth №4. About carcinogenicity parabens

Under understood parabens preservatives in creams. We have already said, why they are needed.

Back in the early 2000's the tabloids, concerned the maximum sales of their newspapers, ran an awareness duck that parabens cause shampoo with a brain tumor. This information is flavored persuasive paragraph about the study conducted by scientists, people believed. It's done: a sensation with shampoos, rumors have spread to all corners of the country, the material is sold out, the profit from the duck got yellow press.

For this duck with parabens caught nimble manufacturers and marketers of cosmetics: they began to add an inscription on the label "without parabens".

A poor doctors are still trying to dispel this parabenofobiyu among people.

Myth №5. Creams containing hormones, dangerous

Office not pass the market cosmetic products with animals without hormones relevant checks and independent laboratory tests. And such cosmetics falls into the category of medical preparations, so will be sold only on prescription.

But the plant hormones are not able to change anything fundamentally in the human body.

Myth №6. Cream powerless before injections

Injections solve the problem immediately, and daily skin care (which is not without cream) can both put indefinitely march to the injection procedure, and make injection effective if after them to look for more skin.

In preparations intended for injection, the molecules weigh less than the creams. Therefore, they are free to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. Creams also work with the epidermis, this is enough.

Well, after peeling the skin is generally permeable, and molecules lifting creams will be easier to work with leather.

Myth №7. All SPF-cream are the same

And here and there! There are two types of filters with an index of SPF: physical and chemical (the trend of the last decade). The cost creams chemical filters within 2 hours after exposure to the sun begins to oxidize and turn into free radicals, which damage the skin.

Therefore, every 2 hours cream should be washed off and re-apply to the skin. Or go to the beautician, he will advise cosmetic combination of chemical and physical filters, because they work on the skin in different ways.

Myth №8. On the moisturizing power of the thermal water

Spray on your face thermal water and wait until it dries. The result: you get dehydrated, not moisturizing. Termalka still evaporates, though present in the composition of its salt.

Apply thermal water is recommended with cream, soaked cloth and a light massage (like hammering gently into the skin).

Myth №9. Summer and winter to completely change the skin care

In urban settings, it is meaningless. Leather always needs moisture, nutrient medium and cleansing, regardless of the time of year.

Myth №10. Moisturizers in the cold much harmful

On the one hand it seems logical to say, moisturized skin in the cold can be covered with ice and damage the skin.

Only many people forget about the fact that our skin is ice-free body. Even in the dead of winter in every way the body will not allow our skin to cool below 32 degrees.

In cold weather good silicone moisturizers, they seal the moisture in the skin.

Myth №11. Natural cosmetics better "chemistry"

Unlike organics, synthetics manufacturers produce such components to the sensitive skin of their customers once again not covered with red spots and inflammation are not formed. Natural remedies imagine this can not afford, so that the allergy-prone organic skin - this is a real hell.

And the shelf life in organic matter less than that of chemistry. And there is Mama Do not Cry!

Do not forget also that the peptides and hyaluronic acid can be synthesized only. And when you think about skin rejuvenation, you will realize that organic is powerless here.

Myth №12. Pro favor oral preparations which contain collagen

Collagen is very well digested, and a maximum of blood that falls from it - it is an amino acid. Do not have time to collagen in its purest form to reach our skin. So all of these supplements with collagen - a ruse marketers.

Myth №13. Prick Botox and hyaluronic acid is better to start from a young age

Yeah of course. This is all done in order to score themselves in the years ahead schedule of visiting a cosmetologist's office. It seems to me, we are ready to seek the cause of juvenile prick Botox and gialuronka, just to increase the demand.

Botox needed for overactive facial expressions, because of which produces a lot of wrinkles in the future. But it is well tighten the skin and at the age of maturity. I do not see much of a difference here.

Hyaluronic acid is also immediately shows the result of rejuvenation, it can be done even when thinner fat and bone tissue (in other words, at least 90 years of injections of beauty - the result will be).

We monitor the activity of our readers. And those who often puts the "thumbs up" and share our materials in social networks - to get nice little presents from the Greek producers of cosmetics. And the Greeks, by the way, the best cosmetics!
