Save: 7 Beauty Products You Don't Need

Shampoo, conditioner, non-rinse cream, serum, body cream, facial lotion etc. Have you ever tidied up your home and come across a huge amount of products? for the most varied purposes? and wondered if they really were necessary for her beauty?

Or, have you had any difficulty in putting all these products in a suitcase for travel ?!

There are currently a huge amount of beauty products on the market. But the truth is that not all are not so necessary. Or rather, some can easily be replaced with another item you already have at home. Check out some ideas:

1. Face Cleansing Lotion

Tatiana Jerez, dermatologist and member of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology, points out, first, that the face does ask for a specific soap. "Common soaps can end up harming the skin of this region too much, especially during acid treatments," he points out.

Astringents and deep cleansing lotions are not that necessary. But, as Tatiana explains, they can help with very oily skin.

So if this is not your case? if you have dry or normal skin? You can give up your facial cleansing lotions without fear! Just getting the option of a good face soap, preferably indicated by your dermatologist.

2. Foot Cream

It is not that it is totally unnecessary. Many people use these creams on a daily basis because they feel a bit uncomfortable when their feet are worsened. The point is that for your feet you can use the same product you use for your hands. And vice versa!

Dermatologist Tatiana explains that the thickness, oiliness and resistance of the skin differ in some regions of the body and therefore there are specific creams for each location. However, some regions have similar characteristics and can be treated with the same cream. Feet and hands, for example, allow the use of the same product for these two areas ?, he says.

The face and also the scalp, as the dermatologist points out, are unique regions and need specific care. "Just like the eye region, which has the thinnest skin in the body," he adds.

3. Elbow Cream

Worth the same advice given above!

• Elbows and knees have similar features and thicker skin. So they can be treated with the same product ?, explains dermatologist Tatiana.

"Some products can even be used for elbows, knees, hands and feet, which are considered the thickest areas of skin," adds the professional.

4. Cream to stop cellulite

It is not that they do not yield any results. But the truth is that this type of cream alone has virtually no effectiveness.

No cream works miracles! Be wary of products that promise miraculous results in just a few days. In the treatment of cellulite, the creams are considered adjuvant, that is, they are part of a treatment that involves changes in diet and lifestyle, the practice of physical exercise and sometimes some aesthetic treatments with appliances, such as those of radiofrequency and laser ?, explains dermatologist Tatiana.

So unless the product has been recommended by a trusted professional and is associated with broader cellulite treatment, physical activity and healthy eating, you don't have to spend money or time spending it. Cream

5. Pre and post depilatory products

Many women have the habit of shaving at home. And in most cosmetic stores in every city, there are a multitude of products exclusively for them! Groin exfoliator, pre depilatory lotion, soothing post depilatory lotion and more.

But according to dermatologist Tatiana, these products can easily be replaced by things we already have at home. ? Skin protection before waxing can be applied with common talcum powder. The removal of wax can be done with the help of almond oil or even olive oil ?, explains.

After shaving, the skin even tends to become irritated and reddened. To soothe it, after the procedure, can you use cold compresses with chamomile tea ?, he adds.

6. Cream without rinsing

For hair there are several options of creams to be applied after shower without rinsing. But are they really necessary? Or is just using shampoo and conditioner in the bath enough?

"If the person applies conditioner while showering, there is no need to use a cream without rinsing later," says dermatologist Tatiana."Unless this product is a thermal protector and should be used before using the dryer and flat iron," he adds.

7. Hair Tip Repairer

There are several types on the market, but are they really effective?

According to dermatologist Tatiana, split ends only mask the problem, improving the appearance of the hair. "Cutting is the only way to solve the problem," he adds.

That way, unless your hairdresser has indicated a good repairer for your hair, this is yet another product you can live without. Always remembering to cut the ends of your hair often, according to professional guidance.

But if you have already tried a repairer that really was good for your hair, there is no reason to abandon it!

A good product combination

BBcreams have been very successful today by offering several functions in one product. Most of them combine sunscreen, moisturizer and primer or base. Thus, they are a great choice for women who want to save or simply shrink the space reserved for storing only their beauty products.

Some BBcreams combine very interesting products and may indeed be the best alternative for certain cases. In general, they have sunscreens with SPF 30, which is sufficient, and are effective as protectors for everyday life, explains dermatologist Tatiana.

"However, more severe cases of photoaging generally require more specific substances used separately," adds the doctor.

With the above tips you can rethink yourself, all the beauty products you currently have at home and most of those you intend to buy are even needed. Or if it is possible to save and take up less space in your home by using some of your products for more than one purpose!
