If you believe the ads, there are many quick and "miracle" cosmetics and procedures in the world where women can get rid of wrinkles, cellulite and unhealthy skin forever. But is that really the case? Unfortunately, there are a number of services that are completely useless.
In addition, you should not abuse even the most effective cosmetic manipulations. Some pose a potential health hazard and should be used with caution by visiting proven salons and clinics.
The most useless beauty treatments
It may seem surprising, but the number of completely useless procedures is now at least close to it. Services that manipulate women in this way are aimed at making quick profits, and manufacturers deliberately add fragrances to products and expose people in beautiful packaging so that people can buy them as much as possible.
Here are the things that women who are waiting for a real result should not spend money:
- all anti-wrinkle products (creams, emulsions, masks). Unfortunately, the aging process is irreversible and irreversible, no matter what advertisers say. Over time, skin cells lose moisture, causing wrinkles. Modern cosmetic developments with phytohormones and stem cells do not have such a "magic power", they only moisturize the skin and improve its appearance. You should use such cosmetic products regularly, and the visible effect will appear no sooner than a month after starting to use;
- drugs "from dark circles under the eyes. "If anti-wrinkle creams have at least some kind of moisturizing effect, these medications are common pacifiers. The truth is that the constant dark circles under the eyes of different colors and shades regularly indicate a lack of sleep, chronic diseases. The appearance of dark circles at best indicates that the blood vessels are close to the upper layers of the skin. You need to treat chronic diseases or get enough sleep;
- all tonics and lotions. They do not contain any nutrients. Contains dyes, water, alcohol & flavoringsProfessional cosmetologists say that if a person uses high-quality cleansers, there is no need to buy any lotion;
- cellulite treatment. In medicine, there is a diagnosis - fatty lipodystrophy. Manifestations of cellulite occur in the case of a serious metabolic disease and lymphatic drainage. No cream or coating can penetrate the deeper layers of the skin where this process takes place. The early stages of cellulite are completely natural, safe and almost invisible. They can be easily overcome with weight loss and a systematic workout. In the case of severe lipodystrophy, appropriate treatment should be given to reduce the manifestations;
- palms and shells. The manufacturers claim that they gently remove all dead particles from the skin, while our skin can regenerate itself perfectly without the use of additional funds;
- products for intimate hygiene. Contrary to advertising, they do not equalize the PH environment in intimate places and do not prevent the development of diseases of the genital area. It is enough to use ordinary soap for regular hygiene and not to spend money on expensive and unnecessary gels;
- creams, ointments and anti-stretch marks (striae). Since postpartum stretch marks are cicatricial formations, no ointment can cope with them. Even a laser or plastic is far from always effective in this situation, so it is better to abandon the use of another puppet tool immediately;
- cosmetics for breast augmentation. Another "scam" that can in no way stimulate the growth of mammary gland tissue. Breast size depends only on genetics and can only be changed with the help of plastic surgery;
- It is a tool for thickening eyebrows and hair growth. Like breast size, the density of eyebrows and hair depends on genetics, and no cream can change that.
Types of cosmetic procedures
There are beauty salon treatments that can give a real effect. These include:
- mesotherapy. Special recipes in the form of cocktails are injected into the skin using a micronedle. The cosmetologist makes the drug choice individually;
- face and neck contour. Developed to solve aesthetic problems using fillers (fillers for skin). The duration of the fillings is different. Contains hyaluronic acidAfter 4-12 months, it should completely dissolve and have no side effects;
- botox. It is one of the "oldest" but effective cosmetic procedures based on botulinum toxin. This is one of the most effective ways to eliminate expression wrinkles. Application of botulinum toxin blocks nerve impulses to the facial muscles. Muscles look relaxed and wrinkles disappear temporarily;
- chemical peeling. There is a different level: deeper than the surface. The upper layer of the skin is cleaned by chemical burns, smoothes the face and removes various imperfections;
- plastic surgery. Unlike other procedures, it is a series of complete surgeries performed by surgeons on the face and body.
Cosmetic procedures at home
You can perform some cosmetic manipulations at home. This will save you both time and money:
- vacuum scoop massage. The use of ordinary medical kits is allowed. The skin is pre-lubricated and the transferred jar is gradually transferred from the foot to the knee and gluteal region. Session duration - 10-15 minutes;
- steam cleaning. Completely replaces the same procedure in the salon. You need a pot of chamomile tea and a towel to cover your face and head. To prevent burns, apply a cream on your face and wash your face with cool water after manipulation.
Successful days for cosmetic procedures
You can choose any day for the procedure, but you should pay attention to the phases of the moon:
- new moon. At this point, the Moon is not visible and a person's energy potential is weakened, so procedures are not recommended;
- 1st and 2nd quarters of the growing season. The best time for cosmetic manipulations;
- The whole moon. As a rule, it has a negative effect on people, so it is recommended to refrain from going to the salon;
- 3 and 4 quarters of the month in the declining phase. This is a good time for facial cleansing and especially medical procedures.
Also pay attention to events such as lunar and solar eclipses, as procedures should not be performed during this period.
Dangerous cosmetic procedures
Despite its effectiveness, it can be potentially dangerous:
- botox;
- hyaluronic acid;
- sewing with threads.
Botox contains a dangerous toxin that affects the nervous system. Of course, you should not give up the procedure completely, but you can do it 1-2 times a year, more often. Otherwise, the poison accumulates under the skin and can even be fatal. In addition, frequent use of botulinum toxin is fraught with muscle spasms to the point of paralysis and facial asymmetry.
Hyaluronic acid is sometimes stored in tissues by collecting fluid. As a result, there is a need for facial deformity and surgery. When it comes to suturing with ropes used to correct the shape of the face and cheekbones, scars and metabolic diseases are possible in the subcutaneous fat.
You do not want to be frustrated if you cannot get the right pitch so invest in a good capo. First of all, you need to learn to distinguish between effective procedures and deception and not to abuse potentially dangerous manipulations.
