Quite often I come across requests from people to advise a miracle cream that will help them immediately with all the problems of the facial skin. It doesn't matter if they have acne, dehydrated or oily skin, they want a magic pill in one bottle.
And cellulite? There, women are ready to smear on themselves a bunch of warming creams, scrubs and grind it all with a brush with cactus bristles, absolutely not understanding why this is.
I am generally silent about hair loss! Immediately they begin to stock up on castor oil, smear onion gruel on their hair and perform other dances with a tambourine, ignoring the desire to figure out the very reason for the loss.
Why cream, on the advice of a friend, cannot cope with all the problems at once
Each skin problem has a different cause. Acne can appear for a thousand reasons, sometimes even doctors cannot cope with this problem. People live with it for years and struggle with it every day. The reason may be as in improperly selected facial skin care, unhealthy diet, hormones, intestines, etc.
Now imagine: each of the above reasons (and I listed less than 5% of the entire list) the owner of acne, together with the doctor, should check and gradually reduce the list of possible causes. A month or two did not eat sweet buns, sweets and completely eliminated sugar - this means that the cause of acne is not an excess of glucose with insulin, which needs to convert glucose into energy. The doctor excludes this reason, and continues to identify the causes of rashes further down the list.
Do you think the miracle cream will help you with problems, for example, intestines? No! You need to look not for a cream or ointment on the advice of some blogger, for example, on Instagram or a friend, but go to a specialist to find out the reason and to draw up competent care.
Creams will help, for example, to relieve newly developed inflammation. Or a rash, which many now have in the area of the nasolabial triangle due to wearing masks. But treat acne with them - if you please.
Saturate oily skin once and for all
I do not consider oily skin to be some kind of aesthetic problem that many try to hide by matting.
Oily skin is beautiful (no kidding), it even ages differently, fine wrinkles form much later than dry skin.
Nowadays, shine on the face is relevant, and make-up artists use tonal creams with a natural or wet finish, simultaneously flavoring it with a highlighter.
But for some reason, many owners of oily skin are trying to hide it in all possible ways: matting powder, matting wipes, super persistent tonal creams. Sometimes girls simply forcibly dry out the skin using alcohol lotions, and bring the skin to dehydration (it begins to peel off strongly). What is dehydrated skin, and why it is better not to bring it to such a state - I already wrote, I left a link to the material at the end of the article.
Many are looking for long-lasting foundations that will last for 24 hours without changing the original look. This does not happen, over time, the skin will begin to secrete sebum. Oily skin secretes sebum after 2-3 hours, normal - after 4-6 hours, dry - after 7-8 hours, and this is completely normal, because we are all living people. There are, of course, super-resistant foundations that will stay on the face longer, but you should not use them every day, especially in the summer in the heat.
The best thing you can do for your oily skin is to use moisturizers. Drying the skin, it will begin to secrete even more sebum - this is a protective reaction of the skin. And if oily skin is moisturized, the sebaceous glands will not work so actively on it. Try it and then see for yourself the veracity of my words.
I have cellulite, I will buy a bunch of products and I will sit at them looking
A friend pushed me on this topic, who showed me a set for cellulite from an insta blogger for 3,500 rubles (it is still with a 50% discount) and asked advice if she should buy it. The composition of this set amused me a little, but made me think how some fool people for profit.
Looking ahead, I will say: knowing that a friend should not go in for sports, I advised funds that in total will not be more expensive than 500 rubles, and reconsider the diet. Thus, she saved 3000 rubles and did not receive a bunch of unnecessary trash.
Anti-cellulite products have one peculiarity: they are some of the most dusty things in our house. Because many used the same wrapping once or twice and stopped this useless business.
If you are interested in a detailed story about such kits and my complete analysis of the funds in them, put your thumbs up on the article and I will prepare the material in the near future.
Almost all women have an orange peel, some have itless pronounced, someone is more active. The so-called cellulite is not always the reason for excess weight, nature has endowed us with an orange peel.
I had an article where I broke all the myths about cellulite, told who it was invented and why, how to deal with it and whether it is necessary. I'll leave the link at the end of the article, read it so that you definitely don't have any questions.
Hair falls out, all "castor oil" at my expense
Relatively recently, I published an article on my channel about the causes of hair loss (I will leave the link at the end of the article). In short, there can be a lot of reasons: rare hair washing, improper skin care head, intestinal problems, due to which vitamins are not absorbed in the right amount, how many are not accept.
But there were people who advised castor oil to everyone. Its effectiveness has not been proven, someone persistently recommended everyone to buy "esvicin" and nothing will help except it.
If someone was helped by some means (or he thinks they helped him) - this does not mean at all that you need to indiscriminately advise it to everyone.
Someone may have problems with the intestines, the B vitamins, which are so necessary for our hair, are not absorbed, naturally the bulbs do not receive vitamins in the right amount, which is why the hair begins fall out. Will "Esvitsin" help or, God forbid, castor oil? No!
Another example. You rarely wash your hair. The sebum secreted by the scalp thickens every day. Nutrients are not delivered to the length of the hair; the bulbs under this massive layer of fat weaken and leave the head. Will castor oil help here, which after application you will begin to actively wash out and with it all the weakened bulbs? No, you need to wash your hair and choose the right hair care, or even better, visit a trichologist who will have to treat your poor scalp.
Who said it would be easy? If there is a really serious health problem where hair loss is a beacon, then this problem needs to be looked for and treated.
Dear ones! Each of us is individual. We have different skin, hair and the body as a whole. Someone may not wash at all and he will have the clearest skin, someone may not know what sport is and will not have a hint of orange peel.
If you are approached by a popular shampoo for hair loss, do not recommend it to everyone - this is not a panacea. Just write that this shampoo has helped you personally. Advice on any means should not be taken to an absolute, they should serve as just a guide: if something suited the girl whose problems are as similar as possible to yours - it is worth taking note of the recommended by her means.
If an incomprehensible anonym, who even cannot show himself, advises castor oil, and all other means are just tricks of marketers, then the advice is already elevated to the absolute. And to believe him - to be just the same profit for those telephone scammers who call you from an unfamiliar number.
