Cosmetics and skin care products have become an important part of our daily life. Almost all of us bring skin care products into use for curing various skin related problems. Skin care is of utmost importance with most people these days. However, it has become really hard to make out between the genuine and the harmful skin care products.

Harmful Skin Care Products

There are numerous skin care products which are being made from harmful chemicals and preservatives in them to cure the skin ailments. However, these products harm our skin and damage it. Skin is the most delicate part of the body that needs a mild care. Different types of chemicals that are being used in these skin care products prove to be very damaging to the skin.

All the floral water that we use in face packs or for cleansing the skin is being manufactured with synthetic fragrance oils that actually harm the skin. Most of the moisturizers and skin care creams that we use comprise of propylene glycol and diethanolamine, which are carcinogenic and cause harm to the skin. The shampoos, bubble baths and soaps that we use contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and are used to produce more of lather. This chemical is generally used in the whitening toothpastes. All the mineral oils and paraffin wax use derivative of petroleum products that deficiently affects the skin. It is not true that all the synthetic chemicals are toxic, as some of them if used in adequate amount can help in enhancing the skin.

Differentiating between harmful and genuine skin care products

The foremost thing that can mislead a person in case of purchasing a genuine skin care product is advertising. Numerous manufacturers advertise their products in the market so that people use them and the manufacturer gets benefitted. If we check the constituents of the skin care products, they can help you over in choosing the genuine product rather of going for chemical based products. Always be particular about the manufacturing date of the product, as at times, the skin care cream or moisturizers get worse with bacteria and if used after the expiry date may cause irritation or inflammation.

Purchasing renowned brand creams can also help you to solve the purpose of getting the best skin care product which shall not be harmful, but you should be sure about the constituents of the product. The genuine skin care products use jojoba, honey and vitamin E like components that help to make your skin look more radiant. Some of these ingredients are often expensive, thereby increasing the actual cost of the product. Moreover, if the ingredients are not mentioned, you should note down the code given on it and ask for the details from the manufacturer.

So, if you want to purchase the best skin care product that will help your skin to appear more radiant and glowing then, keep in mind all these guidelines and buy the best product.

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Kiss & Stay Gloss : Review & Swatches

Posted by Cassandra J in Cosmetics on 05 12th, 2009| | No Comments »

Okay, so I may not know what gloss Vanessa Hudgens has on, but I sure will tell you about the gloss I was asking you guys to guess, earlier on. Most of you were right ! These are the New Lasting Finish Kiss & Stay Gloss from Rimmel London .

The two shades I tried were Dream On and Lustrous Nude. One is perfect for day wear and the perfect for night, one perfect for light -medium skin and the other great for medium – dark skin . I just really wanted to get colors that would work for me in Summer (i,e) nothing dark. Dream On is the one for deep brown skinned beauties. It is a gorgeous bronzy shade that shows up very well on pigmented lips, given its opacity. Lustrous nude is a opaque flesh colored nude gloss that will look gorgeous on light – medium skin tones. It has got a hint of peach /pink to it so it will not wash out anybody.

The glosses themselves are some of the best long staying glosses I’ve tried. And I’ve tried the lot from NYC, Milani, MAC and Maybelline. Unlike everything else, this gloss does not give the super dry, sucking-the-moisture-outta-my-lips feeling that I got with every other long stay gloss. It is just like a regular gloss to apply. Absolutely no streaks and you can even purse your lips together with this one and nothing disastrous happens ! Its the same routine, you apply the color first and the shimmer transparent gloss on top of it. It seriously stays on for hours together ! It does not wash off with water. You will need a makeup remover and a cotton pad.

Overall for $7.99, these make for excellent substitutes to the $21 long stay glosses !
