Cheap beauty products
Are expensive beauty products an homage to fashion or the expectation of instant effect? Beautiful packages, famous brands and promising advertisements for eternal youth and beauty after buying just one cream, shampoo, mask… Should we believe them and are there really miracles of cosmetology? Many women who use expensive cosmetics notice a noticeable improvement in their skin or hair only for as long as they use certain products. As soon as the magic tube runs out, a dramatic deterioration is noticeable. It is worth looking at Hollywood divas, who, despite numerous plastic surgeries and what they can afford (the most expensive new-fangled care products), look much worse than ordinary women.
How to save money on cosmetics?
When buying care products, you should pay attention to their components. Premature ageing, dull hair colour and pale skin are all caused by the same thing – a lack of essential vitamins and minerals. If you look at the composition of products from leading manufacturers, you will see that they are made of chemical compounds. Paradoxically, it is usually the cheap cosmetic products that contain the necessary complex of substances. A whole industry is now working to produce natural creams and shampoos that contain natural ingredients.
As an alternative, vitamins and oils that are sold in a regular pharmacy can be considered. They are priced at a fraction of the price of their brand-name counterparts and are superior in every way.
Natural vegetable oils

It also helps to cope with fatty deposits and reduces weight by improving metabolism.

Cosmetic salons recommend it as a wash for problem skin. You can find tar soap in any pharmacy.
