8 Completely Useless Beauty Products We Waste Our Money On
Beauty companies want you to spend as much money on their products as you can. That is why they make ads that convince us that we can’t live without this or that item. But actually, we can.
Nexter.org prepared you a list of the most useless beauty products.

Actually, it’s all about the quality of the nail polish and not about the fact that it has or has not a special coating over it. So, it is better to spend the money you usually buy a top coat with on a nail polish of better quality.
Night cream

Of course, night creams are not entirely useless. Most of the time they contain something like retinol which doesn’t “work” under the sun’s rays. Although, dermatologists say that night creams are usually overpriced and you don’t really need them if you take proper care of your skin during the daytime.
“Female” shaving creams and foams

We need shaving foams and gels to soften the hair and moisturize the skin to make shaving smoother. But there is no need to buy special female ones because first of all, female and male shaving creams have identical components, except for fragrance and the design of the packaging and male creams cost less.
And second of all, a moisturizing shower gel or hair conditioner will do the job, so there is no need to buy extra products at all.
Pore strips for blackheads

Pore strips remove only surface dirt and take off the protective layer of the skin thus traumatizing it. So, it is much better to buy a good cleansing gel with salicylic acid instead of pore strips.
Neck cream

Special neck creams don’t contain anything that regular face cream doesn’t have. So, just use the one you already have.
Spray for the face

Sprays for the face are supposed to moisturize your skin and make you feel fresh. Although, according to dermatologists the moisture from the skin evaporates together with the water that such sprays contain and that leads to dryness.
Matte wipes

In reality, simple regular tissues or towels have the same effect as matte wipes and even better as the oily spots won’t be as visible on them.
Thermal hairsprays

The protective effect of thermal hairsprays is created mostly thanks to silicone, which is present in many styling sprays and caring oils. So, there is no need to buy special protecting cosmetic products.
