Commercials are powerful. So are advertisements, leaflets, and other marketing techniques making us buy what we do not really need. Not only do we not need some certain things, they cost us huge money!
Just take some time and calculate how much dough you have wasted on unnecessary beauty products this year and you will find out that you could have found better things to invest that money into. Here is the list of products we could easily live without:
1. Split-End Remedies
The more products beauty industry creates the richer it becomes. If you buy serums and shampoos to fix split ends, then you are one of the naive people who still believe that such a remedy really exists. The truth is that split-ends remedies only hide the problem. They do not cure your hair, but smooth the split hair down instead. If you want to solve the problem, first what you should do is to stop or at least limit the use of hairdryers, curling tongs, straighteners and use this kind of equipment only a couple of times a month. Always apply some heat protection product to reduce the harm prior to using a hairdryer. Never brush your hair when it is still wet. Simply comb it with your fingers. If you cannot avoid using hairdryers, then alternate warm and cool air. Finally, regularly go to the hairdresser’s and have your hair trimmed. The frequency should be at least 6-8 weeks or, preferably, even more often. Your hair then might not be too long, but it will look and feel healthy which is far more important.
2. Cellulite Creams
We tend to believe there is a magic wand that will make us beautiful in a wink. One of the myths that we want to dispel is the effectiveness of cellulite cream. Those who have tried this product know that it is not as effective as it claims to be. If it were, then liposuction wouldn’t exist. For now the only two things that really can fight cellulite on your buttocks is active lifestyle and healthy eating habits. Cut down the amount of junk food you buy on your way to work or back home. Eat less fatty and salty snacks and you will see that you are becoming slimmer. And, as we all know, cellulite is nothing but unevenly distributed fat cells. Some might blame it all on their slow metabolism. There is a way out for them as well. It is easy to speed up metabolism by drinking pure water. You can also try different massages, because they stimulate blood circulation and detoxify the entire organism. Apply scrub and rub it gently onto you skin – your dead skin cells will be removed and your skin will look smoother.
