When it comes to using beauty products, the rule is simple- less is better. Unfortunately, sometimes we end up putting too much deodorant, perfume, dry shampoo… which may have a bad influence to your health.
Here are the 9 beauty products you should be careful using:
1. Self-tanning lotions
Although experts claim they’re safer than tanning beds, lotions contain harmful ingredients. Applying too much lotion can damage your skin and turn your complexion orange.
2. Makeup primers
Primers are really popular now since they guarantee to make your complexion shiny and your makeup last longer. Most primers are silicone based since silicone get’s easily absorbed into your skin. Primers really do smooth out your pores, but in the same time, it can clog them and therefore cause painful and unpleasant acne.
3. Special face cleaning brushes
Doing a peeling with a brush will make your skin extra clean and soft. On the other hand, using a brush every day can be too aggressive for your skin and can cause rashes, redness, acne and eczema.
4. Vaseline
Although many people claim that Vaseline makes their skin extra soft, truth is- Vaseline doesn’t get absorbed into your skin. Vaseline creates a barrier and traps the moisture of your skin. Using Vaseline too often can have a negative effect on your skin.
5. Hair masks
Almost every mask guarantees repair and hydration. If you use the hair mask right, it will make your hair healthier and shinier, but if you use it too often, it will only leave your hair looking greasy and without any volume.
6. Medical lip balms
They’re great for the winter since they protect your lips from the cold wind. Use the medical balms only if you have cracked lips. Once your lips heal, use an ordinary balm.
7. Matte lipsticks
They’re easy to apply, dry faster and last the whole day, but using them too often can dry and crack your lips.
8. Lashes
Every woman loves having long and voluminous lashes, but applying fake lashes too often can damage your natural lashes.
9. Dry shampoo
Dry shampoo is great! In just a few seconds it gives you volume and makes your hair look clean. Unfortunately, using it too often can clog the pores on your scalp.
