Because we sometimes read everything, anything and its opposite on networks, we take stock of 10 most frequent ideas in terms of beauty products.
Should I apply an anti-wrinkle cream from adolescence? Is the tonic useful or futile? And once and for all, what is the real mission of a foundation? We sift through the great myths of cosmetics, from makeup to hair care, to adopt good beauty reflexes.
For each cosmetics, it is essential to read your list of ingredients and, in case of doubt, to consult
1. Scrub and peeling, it’s the same in the same
No, not really.
Both eliminate dead cells from the epidermis to refine the skin texture and revive the shine of the complexion, but they act differently.
- The scrub requires mechanical action with your fingertips (with exfoliator grains).
- Peeling uses active ingredients that dissolve dead cells in contact with skin (often fruit acids) and acts deeper.
Employed badly or too often, they can irritate the most sensitive skin.
2. To look tanned, we apply a darker foundation than our skin
Never in life.
The role of the foundation is to unify the complexion, to make it a backdrop for the rest of the makeup (sun powder, blush, eye shadow, etc.). Too dark, he weighs down the complexion and aged 10 years. Too clear, it gives the sick. It must therefore be the same color as your natural complexion.
To find the right nuance, you apply a small drop on the jaw bone and observe: if the color blends, without demarcation, it’s the right one.
3. Apply an anti-wrinkle cream from an early age is the best anti-aging strategy
No, alas.
We would like to say “yes” but in theory, the skin absorbs only the assets it needs. In addition, the care formulated for mature skin often has an too rich texture for younger skin. Today, we no longer count the “first signs of age” creams, often fluid and light … You might as well take advantage of it!
4. Use natural care is a safe bet
Not necessarily.
Admittedly, the shorter and natural formulas are preferable, but some ingredients, such as essential oils, are anything but harmless: not recommended for pregnant women, they can also be allergenic for certain skin. For each cosmetics, it is essential to read your list of ingredients and, in case of doubt, to consult.
5. Make -up removal is done in any order
Not really.
For a makeup removal in the rules of the art, the logic wants us to start with the eyes (because we will inevitably overflow the eyeshadows and mascara on the eye area). Then the mouth (for the same reasons). Then the face, from top to bottom. Finally, the neck and the neckline.
6. A mascara resuscitates with a few drops of blueberry water
Out of the question.
No blueberry water or makeup remover, nothing. A mascara never resuscitates! If he dries too quickly, several explanations: it may not be of good quality-no miracle, therefore-was poorly closed or the brush has too “pumped” (which, in the long run, dries the texture). So, in any case: trash can!
Note that a mascara should ideally be changed every 3 months, regardless of its condition.
7. It is better to zap the moisturizer when you have oily/acne skin
Especially not.
All skins need hydration, even the greatest. The latter are often ultra-dehydrated if they are dried up and strips with anti-blade care. Result: they produce more sebum to protect themselves … which promotes imperfections and pimples.
8. To eliminate copper reflections from a coloring, an aside colo is applied on top
No, no …
A thousand times not. Does not improvise colorist who wants, at the risk of obtaining a hair tragedy. This complex domain of colors is left in the hands and brushes of experts. They alone know how to neutralize a reflection, create new ones, color or discolor the right intensity.
The safest house solution: Use 1 time 2 times of purple shampoos that neutralize the yellow/orange reflections of blond and silver hair.
9. Thanks to its fluid texture, the serum arises last
Well not.
We remember that serum is like skin lingerie: it applies to bare and clean skin, before other cosmetics (day or night cream, sun protection, makeup, etc.).
10. The tonic lotion is pure marketing
Frankly? No.
To neglect it is not dramatic, but to use it, after makeup/cleaning is to offer to our skin, according to the active tonic, an astringent, mattifying, purifying, hydrating effect … In short, everything benefits the health and beauty of the skin.
