Натуральна косметика: коли вона стає брехнею?

Natural cosmetics: when does it become a lie?

"Natural cosmetic product" - such an inscription can be seen today on numerous tubes and jars that fill store shelves. An excellent marketing move is to emphasize the presence of natural ingredients in the cream... However, their presence does not make natural cosmetics!

Not everything that is written is true.

When buying a product, pay attention to the ingredients, which are usually listed on the package according to their quantity in descending order. That is, the substance, which is the most in the cosmetic product, will be in the first place. The ingredient with the least amount will be listed last.

If parabens, silicone or other chemicals are among the first three components present in the composition, you can have no doubts: all the "naturalness" of these cosmetics was invented by the manufacturer to draw attention to the product.

The shelf life of the product before and after opening the package is also of great importance. If the manufacturer promises you the freshness and preservation of the product for more than three months after you opened it, preservatives are clearly involved. A closed bottle with natural cosmetics has a shelf life of only 1 year.

Advantages of natural cosmetics.

Of course, the advantages of natural products - whether food or cosmetic - are obvious even to a child.

Natural cosmetics are:
  • Safe;
  • Healthy;
  • An effective way to preserve the youth of the skin, give a healthy shine to the hair and in general provide the body with proper care.

Security


If you use cosmetics developed on a natural basis, even if you make a mistake with the dosage or skin type, it is very difficult to harm yourself. Chemicals, on the other hand, require the exact implementation of the instructions for use, mistakes threaten irritation and obtaining the opposite effect to the expected one.

Health

Natural cosmetics are much less likely to cause allergies. Such a nuisance is possible only if you have an increased sensitivity to one or another natural component, which is extremely rare and is usually known to the buyer in advance.

But predicting the body's reaction to numerous emulsifiers, stabilizers, dyes and other wonders of the chemical industry is much more difficult.

The effect of natural cosmetic substances is aimed at changing the body from the inside, at the natural improvement of skin and hair. Artificial means have a temporary effect, from which there may not be a trace as soon as you stop using them.

Effect

In terms of effectiveness, such cosmetics can compete with the most expensive brands simply because the concentration of natural substances in them is as high as possible. At the same time, in terms of cost, they are often close to cosmetics of the middle price category, sold in ordinary supermarkets.

What about the disadvantages?

The only drawback of natural cosmetics is its short shelf life. Try to preserve the herbal infusion without the use of preservatives! That is why it is better to do such cosmetics in small portions, which is always convenient.

Another difficulty that arises when using natural cosmetics made by hand is the time spent on this production. Creating a cosmetic product is often a long and time-consuming process.

The golden mean

What to do? Spend time making yourself natural cosmetics , or use artificial ones offered by stores?

However, as always, somewhere in the middle. The optimal solution would be to let professionals prepare natural cosmetics for you. Such products, even if they are made by hand, have all the advantages of natural products, but at the same time you do not have to rummage over bowls and bowls, mixing, filtering and grinding the ingredients. You won't have to puzzle over how to save all this goodness - because, as always, there was a lot of it!
