Many of us could pay more attention to ourselves. Part of this is taking care of yourself, your body. Fortunately, modern manufacturers offer products and innovations that allow you to live life to the fullest without sacrificing your appearance.

Beauty industry

The desire to be beautiful never leaves a woman. Over the centuries, new means and methods have been invented to create an attractive appearance. People have used arsenic and mercury to improve their skin, use urine to remove freckles, and even remove ribs to slim down their waists.

Currently, the beauty industry is developed more than ever. People spend billions on cosmetics, skin care, hair care, fragrances and cosmetic surgery. Society believes that attractive individuals have many advantages and achieve great success in work, love and life in general.

Natural beauty is great, but it needs to be maintained. Producers of such goods are sensitive to public opinion. Long hair is a sign of good health, which is why there are products that make it grow faster. Big eyes are a sign of youth, which is why mascara and eyeliner are sold.

There are many creams available to help you achieve flawless skin, another sign of good health. And cosmetic surgery allows you to get something that is not given by nature.

Today we can buy more "advanced" products than ever before. Society requires multifunctional tools. Cosmetics manufacturers now offer products that not only color, but also contain active healing ingredients. Among such remedies, you can find creams that reduce the signs of aging.

Anti-aging cosmetology is gaining popularity every year. Procedures such as Botox injections and the like are already more in demand than liposuction and breast augmentation. Cosmetic dentistry is also very popular, including straightening and whitening teeth. People go to great lengths to achieve perfection as they themselves see it.

I have sunbathed enough in my life. Especially during school years. Then the parents believed that the child should come on the first of September, in the new school year, tanned and rested. But now I see how wrong they were. I see it in my skin! And it's not just freckles on the shoulders. I remember exactly that it was after exhausting sunbathing at the sea that my skin became prone to dryness. And now I understand that it has become thinner and began to react to almost any external influence, whether it be a cold breeze or a body scrub. No, I decided for sure, I won’t do it again.

I won't #2. Make
Perhaps this is a good thing. But for the time being, for the time being. After all, it is done so that the lip line, for example, or eyeliner is always clear and not blurry. But I'm scared to imagine what will happen to these tattoos when the skin on the face begins to seriously sag and change with age. Clear lines will turn into disfiguring faces.

I won't #3. Botox
I know, I know, you will say: everyone does, especially celebrities! But powerful toxins will be injected into my face. The second concern is that even recommendations and a good reputation do not guarantee a beautician's mistakes. After all, a slightly larger dose of the drug, and the results will be terrible. I don’t want to walk around with a twisted face for six months! Then, I somehow heard the opinion of my husband about Elena Malysheva, who does not hesitate to admit that she is doing Botox. He said it was creepy, "she's dead." I did not know that men distinguish frozen muscles from real ones. It turns out that they notice, and do not really complain.

I won't #4. / pedicure
Despite the fact that the procedure is gaining popularity and occupies a prominent place in the price lists of self-respecting salons, I will definitely refuse it. First, sorry for the fish. They probably don’t feel well in these muddy baths, but they could live in nature. Secondly, sorry for the legs. Sometimes it is very difficult to force yourself to enter the sea or a pool if there are a lot of people nearby, because you never know who is sick and who has some health problems. And then put the legs in the bath (albeit a large and beautiful one), where the legs of an unfamiliar man may have been before you. But even when you are persuaded that the water has just changed, the fish have not changed, and they can also become carriers of some diseases.

I won't #5. Breast and buttock implants
It scares me that there will be some snot in my chest. In addition, recent events in France and the UK, when patients of this procedure were asked to come in for implant replacements, because components hazardous to health were found in one of the batches of these silicone pieces, these events confirm once again that the procedure is not safe. There is also the possibility of damaging the nerve and this is also a common practice. And if there is an allergic reaction to the implant, then eternal spotting and other skin reactions are guaranteed. So my 34B is better anyway.

I will not number 6. Tattoo
I have already voiced the reason in part: nothing lasts forever, and with age, tattoos only spoil the appearance of the skin, even give out age, I would say so. I am grateful to modern manufacturers for the invention of temporary tattoos. This solution suits me. I'm not a prude, and sometimes I want to act hooligan and demonstrate bold graphics on my shoulder, but I also understand that I will soon have children, and I would not like to put the baby to my chest, punctured by "birds" and hugging with "snakes" and "arrows". I'm not talking about the fact that again I am embarrassed by an accidental infection in the cabin from the master's needle.

I won't #7. Waxing in the bikini area
Smooth skin in the bikini area is, of course, a necessary thing, and it does not only add confidence when playing beach volleyball. It is worth saying that it is worth being very selective here, because some manipulations carry a great danger to health. These include waxing in the bikini area.

Did you know that bikini waxing was banned in New Jersey back in 2009? And all because there were real victims. Firstly, the skin in the bikini area is thin and delicate, and such a procedure is clearly destructive for it, and secondly, immediately after wax hair removal, the skin is not protected and it takes time to heal. At this time, the skin is vulnerable to the action of bacteria, and in the bikini area they can be especially numerous. The risk of infection is enormous. No, I will not tempt fate and use more sparing methods of hair removal for a bikini.

I won't #8. sunbathing in
I'll start again with infections in reusable areas. I don't know, for some reason I've been very sensitive to this lately. And although ultraviolet rays kill most germs, it's still somehow alarming. But that's not the point. The main thing is that in recent years, scientists have proven that the passion for solariums leads to the risks of cancer and other skin problems. Women who use tanning beds are 55% more likely to have melanoma. In addition, tanned skin is gradually going out of fashion. Most skin care products now come with solar filters, which means that tanning beds will soon be a thing of the past, and blue lamps will be used only in hospitals for medical procedures.

I won't #9. Laser treatments
Not that I'm against the laser. No. He opened for many women getting rid of problems that used to bring only inconvenience. The method is painless and effective. But my experience is that you should use the laser very carefully. For example, I removed freckles and age spots, I am satisfied with the result, in just 5 procedures I got rid of what prevented me from living. But one of the latest V-ray treatments had consequences. The skin was red for several days, the face was swollen so that she could not go outside. As it turned out later, these rays have such a side effect on sensitive skin. Too bad they didn't warn me. But now I know about it, and I warn you. If there are vessels on the face or warts, I will, of course, go for a laser, but I will be extremely selective in choosing a clinic and a master.

Dear readers! Add in the comments what procedures have become taboo for you, and what you will never repeat. Help with your advice!
