Nice packaging and a great commercial can make a person buy a particular product. Paula Begun, a beauty expert explains that this is the number one mistake people do when buying cosmetic products-choosing a product based on commercials.
Here are the 8 lies about cosmetic products that commercials don’t tell us:
1. More famous brand= better effects
This is absolutely wrong. The effectiveness of the product is based on its chemical compounds.
2. There are creams that can stop aging
Unfortunately, there isn’t such thing since no one has found the fountain of youth yet. On the other hand, anti-aging products can help you have a clean face, more flexible skin and better pigmentation.
3. Creams can help you get rid of cellulite
If this was true, models would never use Photoshop. The only way you can get rid of cellulite is by exercising.
4. Tanning beds are healthy
Exposing your skin to any kind of rays isn’t healthy at all. If you want to get a tan, use a tanning cream instead.
5. Organic products are better
Organic products are just a marketing trick.
6. There are creams that can smooth out your skin
Unfortunately, cosmetic products won’t help you get rid of your dark under eye circles and your stretch marks.
7. SPF creams are only good for the beach
Wrong! Applying SPF cream every day can protect your skin and can prevent the appearance of new wrinkles, loosing pigmentation and collagen.
8. Shampoos can stop hair loss
No matter what the package says, shampoos only have one purpose- to clean your hair.
