Beauty products business
It is also important not to get carried away by all that they say in ads, magazines and advertising media. You have to remember that these big companies want to sell, want to cause sensation, and many of them operate on the basis of what is "marketable" and most are not interested in you if are allergic to or not after a while the uses.
The vast majority of its "miracle" that are now very fashionable, is the result of criteria from very small companies, who note that people say "I want a lotion that I remove wrinkles tomorrow" and then invent something convincing to satisfy that desirel.
You must know that a skin without wrinkles and the general condition of the skin is not created from one day to another, and any product that promises you it will be what you might be momentary, but soon there will be sequels. A beautiful and healthy skin is the result, above all, of good food and other habits such as cleaning, for example, and you have to keep in mind that whatever cream you use, your skin is filled mostly with what you eat and more than a nourishing cream and promises to be saying this and that, think first in the diet.
