Skincare products that you don’t need

Beauty market is full of such products which are very overhyped and has no benefits. In this blog we will discuss about some Skincare products that you don’t need. There is no need to waste your money into something which is not worth it. Some products can even damage skin rather than giving any benefit to it.

Let’s discuss some of the products:

1. Peel-Off Masks

Peel-Off masks are one of the most gimmick and harmful product which is ruling the market over a decade. It does nothing to the skin and has very harmful ingredients like glue, cheap charcoal powder, fake gold dust and whatnot!

In addition, while peeling it off the mask, it stretches and enlarges open pores. Also, if you have facial hair it cause pain while peeling and cause pimples if hair gets removed. Instead of it, try clay and pore cleansing masks which are really effective.

You can try these:

2. Cleansing Tools – Skincare products that you don’t need

Cleansing tools are very ineffective products. Furthermore, The whole cleansing device industry is so heavily promoted. Cleansing brushes, vibrating bristles and a bunch of products that exists in the market. It’s just end up damaging and scratching your skin. I would prefer cleansing/Exfoliating with hands over any hyped tool.

There are several machines and tools available in the market which works really well. Derma rollers, Hydra facial, Derma-planning, Micro-dermabrasion etc. In Addition, All these tools must be used used by the experts and skilled persons. There is no harm in performing this treatment once in a month.

3. Facial Mists

Most of the facial mists are nothing but water with some glycerin and rose water. These mists are quite expensive and does nothing to the skin. It doesn’t have any performance except giving a cool/fresh sensation to the face. it’s better to apply rose water/mint water on face which performs exactly same.

Rather than buying this effective mist, try toners which really does wonder to the skin. Not all toners works because they do not have active ingredients.

You can try these toners:

For Glowing/ Young skin

For Open Pores

4. Jade Rollers/ Gua-Sha

These tools are of the Skincare products that you don’t need. Moreover, Jade rollers are over-rated products which has a low performance and no proven results. Additionally, Massaging the skin can give 1000 times better results. It doesn’t give any results in skin tightening/plumping.

On the other hand, Gua-Sha claims lifting the skin and making it firm but it can easily done with your hands only. Why to buy a fancy looking tool for it? Take any essential oil of your choice and mix it into the serum/cream and massage for at-least 5-7 minutes regularly to make your skin exercise. Also, You can even opt skin tightening massage from an expert in every 20 days.

5. Gel Eye-Masks – Skincare products that you don’t need

You might have seen this product in almost every website because it is very overhyped. This is not a bad product or it doesn’t do any harm to the skin. Furthermore, The problem with this product is that it claims it can treat dark circles. Undoubtedly, It can give cooling sensation to the eyes when you wear it cold. It may help in depuffing the eyes because of the cooling sensation.

There is no active ingredient in it so how can it treat dark circles? There is no need to buy this product if you don’t want cooling sensation to the eyes.

6. Sheet Masks

This is also something which is leading the beauty market and Skincare product that you don’t need. It is not very expensive so almost every person has given it a try expecting they will get glow after applying it. 80% of my client doesn’t get any results after using this masks. It only gives hydration to the skin for 24-48 hours. At Contrast, most of the sheets are not biodegradable which also cause harm to the environment.

People who use it for relaxation can carry on buying this product but it’s not going to give you that glow. If you want instant glow for 24-48 hours you may use chemical exfoliators which can be used one in a month.

You can try these exfoliators:

7. 24K Gold products

This is one of the most gimmicky products I have ever seen. These are very expensive Oils/Serums which has nothing but glittery gold flakes in it. Moreover, these golden glitters looks very cheap on skin. It can make your skin worse rather than doing anything good for it.

Gold elixir bottles are just fancy and looks tempting but trust me you are wasting your bucks in it. If you really want something that work on your skin try serums which have active ingredients in it.
