If you believe television experts, any woman can become 15 years younger, completely get rid of cellulite and stretch marks, increase the breast and double the hair density without much effort, just applying innovative cosmetic products.
Of course, beauty will require sacrifices, in this case exclusively material, because such funds are very expensive. But after studying their composition and mechanism of action, it becomes clear that the promises of "spetsalistov" - a banal marketing to increase the number of sales.
So, the TOP-10 most useless kinds of cosmetics, to which we waste a lot of money.
The aging process of the skin, unfortunately, is irreversible. Cells gradually lose the ability to regenerate and lose moisture, which is why women are hated by folds. And they are located much deeper than the epidermis, the "roots" of wrinkles in the dermis.
Even the most innovative developments of cosmetologists with the content of nanosomes, plant stem cells, phytohormones and peptides allow only to moisturize the skin, stimulate its renewal and slightly improve the appearance. The maximum effect from such products is an increase in the tone and elasticity of the epidermis by 10-15%. And this cosmetics will have to be used constantly, and noticeable results will appear no earlier than 28 days after the beginning of its application.
- diseases of internal organs;
- lack of sleep;
- blood vessels closely located to the surface of the epidermis.
No bleaching cream is able to solve the listed problems.
In the first case, it is necessary to deal with the diagnosis and treatment of systemic pathologies. In the second - take care of a full night's rest. And the third factor can not be influenced at all, it is necessary to constantly hide dark circles with decorative cosmetics.
Perhaps, these are the most mysterious products in the field of cosmetology. They are attributed a lot of useful properties, for example, deep cleansing, disinfection, narrowing of pores, moisturizing, nourishing and others, none of which is true.
Toning means, in fact, represent a "cocktail" of water, dyes, fragrances, preservatives, alcohol and a meager amount of vitamins and plant extracts. Producers offer to use them between morning washing and applying a day cream, but even beauticians confirm that, with high-quality cleansing and moisturizing products, this procedure is completely meaningless.
Lipodystrophy, as in medicine called cellulite, is a change in the subcutaneous layer of adipose tissue associated with impairment of outflow and lymph circulation. And in the early stages they are considered absolutely normal for a mature female organism, which constantly experiences hormonal bursts.
Naturally, no cream, mask or wrapping composition is able to penetrate so deeply under the skin to restore the processes of microcirculation and lymphatic drainage. Light forms of cellulite can be treated with a comprehensive approach, including massage, exercise and weight correction. Severe stages of lipodystrophy are subject to serious therapy with normalization of the endocrine and metabolic system exclusively under the supervision of doctors.
For the skin to look good, it must be continuously updated. And many cosmetics have been created to help her, providing a soft removal of the dead cells of the epidermis, daily deep cleansing of the pores and increased blood circulation.
It would seem that this is a very useful product, but in fact, it is absolutely not needed. The skin is renewed on its own, and the cells that have become obsolete are naturally exfoliated continuously. For this, no peelings, scrubs, shower gels with massage particles are required. Even in the presence of such skin problems as hyperkeratosis and ingrown hair after hair removal and depilation, it is enough to regularly use moisturizing cosmetic soap and a good washcloth or bath brush.
Penki, gels, mousses, napkins and other products for caring for delicate areas of the female body firmly took positions on the shelves in the bathroom. According to the manufacturers, they not only cleanse, but also control the acid balance in the vagina, and even protect it from fungal and bacterial infections.
The type of cosmetics considered allows to maintain hygiene of mucous membranes, no more. The remaining specified properties of such tools are empty promises. Acid-base balance provides the correct microflora in the vagina, where lactobacilli predominate. And the prevention of various infectious diseases is the maintenance of cleanliness, the maintenance of a correct lifestyle, the use of condoms and regular visits to a gynecologist.
With striae women struggle as intensively as with cellulite. In the course are all possible means for their removal - wraps, scrubs, masks, peelings, creams, lotions and pharmacy ointments. But, as a rule, nothing helps. Why?
The defects described are scars. It is formed after a sharp stretching of the skin, during which its micro-ruptures occur, and the places of damage are overgrown with connective tissue, which differs from healthy areas in color and structure. These are irreversible changes that can not be fully handled even with the help of plastic and laser surgery, these procedures help to visually reduce the appearance of striae. Naturally, this task is also beyond the scope of external means.
The main "trump card" of such products are phytoestrogens - plant analogues of female sex hormones, which supposedly stimulate the growth of glandular breast tissue. By rubbing a unique cream, the bust should increase at least an entire size. But it must be applied with long repeating courses, otherwise there will be no result, or it will quickly disappear without having fully manifested itself.
This, perhaps, is the biggest charlatanry in the field of cosmetology. Breast size depends on genetic factors and the overall hormonal balance, it can be slightly influenced by physical exercises and massage. But no creams and emulsions are able to increase the bust.
On the shelves of cosmetic stores with an enviable regularity there are new products promising to increase the length and thickness of eyebrows and eyelashes. Such advertising can not be trusted, since these assurances have no scientific justification.
The color, number and even structure of the eyelashes and eyebrows are determined long before the birth of a person. These parameters are finally laid in the region of the 19-20th week of pregnancy. To overcome genetics has not yet been able to any cosmetic means, therefore it is necessary to take care of eyebrows and eyelashes, moisturize and nourish their roots, but to count on cardinal changes of characteristics it is not necessary.
Similar to the previous discussed point, the features of the head of hear depend exclusively on hereditary factors. If a woman with birth thin and not too thick curls, then this they will remain even with the use of the most expensive and high quality hair care products. The fact is that the bulbs are formed in the mother's womb. You can not increase or decrease their number.
As for the "magic" cosmetics, which provides for the accelerated growth of strands, it simply does not exist. Absolutely healthy hair grows 10-13 mm every 30 days, maximum - up to 15 mm, but no more. Stimulation of blood circulation, local irritation of the scalp, intensive nutrition of the roots and other ways to increase this parameter do not work.
Separately it is worth mentioning products that save from split ends, fragility and porosity of ringlets. Eliminate such defects allows only a good haircut, and to warn them - proper nutrition and quality care for the scalp.
Acquiring cosmetics, one must always be guided by logic and rationality, remembering the well-known statement of Lope de Vega:
"A woman, as experience teaches us, health with beauty are inseparable."
