Do you use a day cream, face scrub, or toner on a daily basis? If so, are you sure that your skin really needs all these products?
Turns out, we waste alot of money every year on useless beauty items that can’t actually minimize our pores, plump our cheeks, or fix those little wrinkles around our eyes.
Unfortunately, we don’t even think of this and continue wasting our money as our eyes are attracted to cute packaging and colorful ads on TV.
We found out what beauty products you really don’t need because they are either totally unnecessary or could easily be replaced by something else.
1. Face masks
Face masks are a classic example of a “feel good” beauty product that is absolutely unnecessary. In fact, if you feel the need to use a face mask weekly, there’s probably something wrong with your daily routine.
What to use instead: If your skin feels great after a yogurt or enzyme mask, it’s probably because of the acids that remove dead cells and make it easier for moisture to penetrate into your skin. In this case, try to change your face cream. If your oily skin feels much better after using a clay mask, try to include a salicylic acid product in your skin care routine.
2. Makeup remover
What to use instead: micellar water, cleansers, makeup removing wipes, and coconut oil. Choose anything you’d like to make your skin care routine easier.
3. Eye cream
What to use instead: The skin around your eyes is thin and vulnerable to UV radiation, so you should moisturize this area and wear sunscreen regularly.
4. Exfoliating scrub
What to use instead: Rather than scrub in vain, follow a consistent skin care routine that really works for your skin type.
5. Stretch mark cream
What to use instead: Cocoa butter, petroleum jelly, or any cheap moisturizer will save you money and do the same work on your skin.
