It turns out that some beauty treatments aren’t as effective or safe as you might think. TBH, they might prove to be hazardous. Check the list of treatments to be avoided and enjoy flawless skin forever.
Facial extraction
Once popular face cleansing procedure, practised even at home by some girls. If you get round to it without preparation and hand disinfection, you can be sure you’re going to make your skin suffer. Popping pimples and blackheads leads to skin irritations, inflammation and even to serious dermatological conditions.
Permanent wave
It involves changing hair texture using chemicals and rollers. Even though milder products are common nowadays, you are likely to be left with damaged hair. Strands are coarse, dull, and – worst of all – in much poore state.
Tanning session
Obviously, I’m not going to tell you to never ever go to solarium. You just can’t go there regularly or you’ll end up sunburnt. To make things worse, sunbeds can give you melanoma and fungal skin infections. UV radiation and poorly cleaned tanning beds trigger them whereas you stay alone with the problem.
Microdermabrasion in summer
Mechanical extraction in summertime? Forget it. Despite effectiveness and usefulness, microdermabrasion done incorrectly may have disastrous results. Ideally, wait till autumn or winter which will surely reduce the complications.
Getting treatments in new salons
If you’re going to a salon you know nothing about, be careful! You don’t know what kind of products they use or who works there. That’s why you should do some research, read some reviews, ask your friends, check the hygiene in the salon and the staff qualifications.
