The Best and Worst Beauty Products

If you're like me, you just try, new love cosmetics and beauty products. Since I was a little girl, I watched in fascination as my mother's meticulous care of the skin and carefully applied makeup that transformed from one pretty woman in a stunning Living Doll took.

Skin care has come a long way in recent decades. Previously, the only effective creams were super-expensive and could only be purchased from Elite dermatologist. But with muchodinero is on the line every major beauty companies are competing for a piece of the $ 200-billion global cosmetics market. This tough competition has produced innovative products that are available at affordable prices.

Top Raves

Topping my list is the Oil of Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion & Peel System, which sells in drugstores for $ 27, based on a review of the 80 consumers in this makeupalley at-home microdermabrasion kit received an overall rating of 4.5 from apossible score from 5 And 86% of consumers said they would buy back the product. This easy-to-use kit out of my skin velvety soft and supple for a fraction of the cost of a professional microdermabrasion. Of course, a process seen in the office of the dermatologist more dramatic results, but this sentence does wonders for do-it-yourself'ers as I do. However, some users have complained of breakouts, so use caution if you have sensitive skin.

Another impressive performer is the Olay RegeneristDaily Regenerating Serum. This serum, which is $ 18 in trade for a 1.7-ounce bottle, a great day moisturizer. It contains dimethicone, which provides a barrier to the skin from moisture loss and dehydration protect. And it is more matte, so does your face not in accordance with the shining him on.

A super-efficient and low-cost generics astringent is witch hazel, which you can buy for less than $ 2 per 16-oz. Bottle. Dab it on a cotton ball and slide it in your face make-up or to removeTone your skin after - or instead of - Wash your face with soap and water. And because it only contains 14% alcohol, it is mild and non-drying.

Mineral makeup is quickly replacing liquid foundation in many women make-up routines. Since these as pressed or loose powders are available, they look more natural than to look like liquid foundation and make you wear a mask. My favorite is Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Face Powder, the costs for 13 U.S. dollars. This powder has an assessmentof 4.1 out of 5 of 56 consumers, with 85% saying they would buy back. And because the powder is mineral based and not talc, it has a superfine texture and will not be made of limestone.

Top Rants

One thing I've learned over the years is that expensive does not mean better. One of the most overrated products Creme de la Mer skin moisturizer. This cream jar costs at $ 110 per 1-ounce. The irony is that 44% Vaseline - one of the cheapest moisturizers around it! As one who has beenthe fools who fell for their hype, I was disappointed that the implementation was on my face like spreading on filler. Plus, this cream is just too rich for most people's skin, and can cause breakouts because of the high concentration of fat ... uh, I mean ... Vaseline.

Another sad performer is StriVectin SD Cream. This was originally marketed to diminish stretch marks - but lo and behold!-Obscure scientists discovered somewhere, no doubt, in tandem with a clever advertising agency,StriVectin that also fights wrinkles "better than Botox," said his ads. And so a new holy grail cream was born. The only problem is, this stuff does not work. I paid $ 135 for a 6-ounce tube of cream that smelled funny and felt like Ben Gay. And others agree: The cream has a dismal 2.5 rating out of 5 of 33 said the consumer, and only 44% said they would buy it back.

The moral is, while some are truly effective beauty products, many of them are justclever marketing tricks. You know that cosmetics companies play on our collective insecurities to sell their overpriced products that note. They dig out some research before a lot of money for the "miracle creams." It is important to look good, but nobody looks good with egg on their face.
