Hello everyone! I'm new to this, but I wanted to share the 2 most important tips you keep in mind while purchasing new products to try out!

#1 INGREDIENT IS THE KEY

Ingredients are what make up your cosmetics.
They are the ones that determine the effectiveness!

#2 'NATURAL' PRODUCT ≠ BEST PRODUCT

Consumers nowadays are always looking for words like 'natural', 'organic', 'handmade', 'without chemical/preservative' etc. as if these words are an indication of good, safety products.

When they learn that petrolatum jelly is derived from petroluem, they are so terrified and worried despite all its obvious effectiveness in moisturizing.
In fact it also has healing properties and other benefits for skin.

Preservative like parabens, on the other hand, plays a vital role in preventing the growth of microorganisms in the products.

You may have heard people said that PARABEN CAUSES CANCER.
Well that isn't true.

Please share with me if you have any other useful tips to choose a good product.
