BLOG: Beauty Products That Don't Work
Last Updated (Sunday, 14 March 2010 21:07)
I have tried thousands of beauty products- some as a beauty editor and others just as a regular consumer. A large percentage of those products weren’t the right match for me and some just didn’t seem like they would work at all, for anyone. I stumbled upon an article from Oprah Magazine about beauty products that don't work so I wanted to put this list out there and see what all the YBI readers think. Do you agree with the list? What products would you say are a waste of money? Check out the list.
Here's the list from Oprah's Mag:
1. Toner
"A waste of your time and money," says dermatologist Leslie Baumann. "Toners were invented because cleansers used to leave a soapy film on your skin that had to be removed. Today's cleansers don't do that."
2. Foot Mask
If you really need a reason to put your feet up, a foot mask offers one. Otherwise, you're better off using moisturizer to smooth rough spots on your feet.
3. Lip Exfoliator
Unless your lips are superflaky, a balm alone will keep them silky. Your lips are superflaky? After you've slathered on balm, wrap a tissue around your index finger and rub it over your lips. "You'll remove the flakes without risking irritation," says makeup artist Emily Kate Warren.
4. Anything That Says "Cellulite" On It
No lotion or cream or foam or pill will get rid of cellulite
5. Neck Cream
Give your neck the same treatment as your face.
