If you believe the ads, there are many fast and "wonderful" cosmetics and procedures in the world with which women can get rid of wrinkles, cellulite and an unhealthy skin permanently. But is it really so? Unfortunately, there are several services that are completely useless.
In addition, you should not abuse even those cosmetic treatments that are effective. Some of them are a potential health hazard and should be used with caution when visiting proven salons and clinics.
The most useless beauty treatments
It may seem strange, but the number of completely useless procedures is now close to ten. Services that impose such manipulations on women pursue the goal of quick profit and manufacturers deliberately add pleasant fragrances to products and expose them in beautiful packaging so that people can buy them as much as possible.
What women definitely should not spend money on, expecting a real result:
- all anti-wrinkle products (creams, emulsions, masks). Unfortunately, the aging process is irreversible and cannot be reversed, no matter what the advertisers say. Over time, skin cells lose moisture, which is why wrinkles appear. Even modern cosmetic developments with phytohormones and stem cells do not have "magic power", but only moisturize the skin, improving its appearance. You should use these cosmetics regularly and the visible effect will appear no earlier than one month after the start of use.
- "Dark circles under the eyes. " If anti-wrinkle creams have at least some kind of moisturizing effect, these drugs are common pacifiers. The fact is that the continuous dark circles under the eyes of different colors and shades indicate a regular lack of sleep, chronic diseases. At best, the appearance of dark circles indicates that the blood vessels are located near the upper layers of the skin. You need to treat chronic illnesses or get enough sleep.
- all tonics and lotions. They do not contain nutrients. They consist of dyes, water, alcohol and fragrances. Professional cosmetologists say that if a person uses high quality cleansers, they do not need to buy lotions.
- Cellulite treatments In medicine, there is a diagnosis - fatty lipodystrophy. Obvious manifestations of cellulite occur in case of severe metabolic disorder and drainage of lymph nodes. No cream or wrapper can penetrate the deep layers of the skin where this procedure takes place. The early stages of cellulite are completely natural, safe and almost invisible. They can be easily removed through weight loss and regular exercise. In severe cases of lipodystrophy, appropriate treatment should be taken to reduce the manifestations.
- exfoliation and peels. The manufacturers claim that they can easily remove all dead particles from the skin, however, our skin itself can be perfectly renewed without the use of additional funds.
- home hygiene products. Unlike advertising, they do not equalize the PH environment in familiar places and do not prevent the occurrence of diseases of the genital area. For regular hygiene, it is enough to use ordinary soap and do not spend money on expensive and unnecessary gels.
- creams, ointments and peels against stretch marks (streaks). As postpartum stretch marks are cystic formations, no ointment can treat them. Even a laser or plastic is not always effective in this case, so it is best to stop using another virtual tool immediately.
- cosmetics for breast augmentation. Another "scam" that can not stimulate the growth of glandular tissue of the mammary glands in any way. Breast size depends solely on genetics and can only be changed with the help of plastic surgery.
- means for thickening eyebrows and hair growth. Like the size of the breast, the density of the eyebrows and hair depends on the genetics and no amount of cream can change it.
Types of cosmetic procedures
There are beauty salon treatments that can have a real effect. These include:
- mesotherapy. Special preparations in the form of cocktails are injected into the skin of the face using microfibers. The cosmetologist makes the choice of medicines on an individual basis.
- face and neck contour. Designed to solve aesthetic problems using fillers (fillers for the skin). The duration of the fillers is different. They contain hyaluronic acid. After 4-12 months, it should dissolve completely and cause no side effects.
- botox. One of the "oldest" but effective cosmetic surgeries based on botulinum toxin. This is one of the most effective ways to eliminate expression wrinkles. The introduction of the sausage toxin blocks the nerve impulse that goes to the facial muscles. The muscles look relaxed and the wrinkles disappear temporarily.
- chemical exfoliation. There are different levels: from superficial to deep. The upper layer of the skin is removed by the method of chemical burns, smoothing the face and removing various defects.
- 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 do some cosmetic manipulations at home. This will save you time and money:
- vacuum massage. The use of conventional medical containers is allowed. The skin is pre-lubricated with oil and the delivered jar is gradually moved from the foot to the knee and the gluteal area. Session duration - 10-15 minutes.
- steam cleaning. It completely replaces the same procedure in the living room. You will need a pot of chamomile tea and a towel to cover your face and head. To avoid burns, apply a cream on your face and after handling, wash your face with cold water.
Auspicious days for cosmetics
You can choose any day for the process, but you need to focus on the phases of the moon:
- New Moon. At the moment, the Moon is not visible and the energy potential of an individual is weakening, therefore, the process is not recommended
- 1 and 2 quarters of the moon in the development phase. The best time for aesthetic manipulations.
- Full moon. As a rule, it has a negative effect on people, so it is recommended not to go to the living room.
- 3 and 4 quarters of the moon in the waning phase. A good time for facial cleansing and especially for medical procedures.
Also watch out for phenomena such as lunar and solar eclipses, as neither procedures must take place during this period.
Dangerous cosmetic surgeries
Despite the effectiveness, potentially dangerous can be:
- botox;
- Hyaluronic Acid;
- thread seams.
Botox contains a dangerous toxin that affects the nervous system. Of course, you should not abandon the procedure completely, but you can do it 1-2 times a year, not more often. Otherwise, the poison accumulates under the skin and can even be fatal. In addition, the frequent use of sausage toxin is fraught with muscle spasms to paralysis and facial asymmetry.
Hyaluronic acid is sometimes retained in the tissues, accumulating fluid. The result is a deformity of the face and the need for surgery. With regard to suturing, which is used to correct the shape of the face and cheekbones, there is a possibility of scarring and metabolic disorders in the subcutaneous fat.
In search of beauty, you should not lose your head. First of all, you must learn to distinguish between effective procedures and deception and not to abuse these manipulations which can be potentially dangerous.
