3 myths related to skin care products

Most of the people, especially women, spend a huge percentage of their income on the purchase of professional skin care products in Australia. However, a major percentage of these women follow the herd mentality while making the purchase as they base their decision not on information but what is popular. This sort of strategy can easily backfire as the usage of wrong products on skin can cause severe damage to your skin in the long run. In case, you are making the purchase based on myths related to Australian skin care products, then it is time then you equip yourself with right piece of information and acquaint yourself with real facts, so that errors and mistakes can be avoided during the purchase of such skin care products.

• Myth 1: All the professional skin care products available at supermarket and drugstore are safe
Fact: This myth can easily be blamed as one of the biggest reasons why people end up purchasing wrong products that do more harm to their skin than good. The fact is that the food and drug authority cannot and does impose restriction on the type of skin care products that are made available for sale at such stores. Most of the products that are made available for sale in the market are not reviewed or approved by the FDA. There is only a select category of products which are approved by the administration, which are classified or categorized as over the counter drugs. So if you blindly purchasing Australian skin care products based on this perception, then you are making a big mistake.

• Myth 2: Cosmetic industry performs self checks and policing, ensuring that all the products meet strict safety standards
Fact: As mentioned earlier, FDA makes little effort in regulating the ingredient safety of each and every product available in the market. It has given the freedom to the cosmetic industry to exercise caution and police itself while manufacturing such products. So it is not necessary that the skin care products which are freely available in the market are safe for use. You will have to do your own research to ensure that the product you are investing your money in is a safe bet.

• Myth 3: Cosmetic products rarely get into the body
Fact: You can be exposed to skin care products in a lot of ways such as breathing, swallowing and absorption of chemicals while application of such products on the skin.
