10 Useless Beauty Items You Waste Your Money On

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!

5. Suntan Lotion

How many hours a day do you stay in the sun? If you like sunbathing or spending most of your time outside, then you probably have suntan lotion. But be honest and think if you really need it. If you use creams, foundations, primers and moisturizers, then you do not need any additional sun protection since all of the make-up products include UV filters. Nowadays manufacturers offer us suntan lotions as strong as SPF 80 and even higher. Do you ever really need this kind of protection? Probably not. Besides, some dose of vitamin D is essential for our overall health, and vitamin D is produced by our bodies when we get UVB rays. Once you apply a suntan lotion, you stop your body from absorbing these rays.

6. Hand and Foot Cream

It is unbelievable how powerful marketing tricks are. Another myth that they have created is that people need different creams for different body parts. Some parts do need extra care, but in most cases you can use one single product for your whole body. Moisturizers work all the same and you can use them for both your hands and feet.
