Things to keep in mind when buying beauty products

by Sanjana Salunkhe | February 6, 2018, 12:00 AM IST With products being advertised so powerfully nowadays, we rarely check for the ingredients or the allergic reactions associated with it. The most we do is check the texture of a moisturiser or the colour of a lipstick, but there are a lot of things you need to consider before buying beauty products. We give you some tips to keep in mind before you go beauty shopping. First things, first-Never go for products with a broken seal. It is a possibility that the product has been tampered with. Skin type
Some products are specifically designed for a particular skin type, so, it is very important to pick the ones that are suitable for your skin. Know your skin type- whether it is oily, dry or combination skin, and then go for the one that suits you best. It always helps to know what the product contains. While you may be familiar with some ingredients, the ones that look different to you can be looked up to know what reactions or benefits are attributed to each. Warranty and expiry dates
Always ensure the warranty or the life of the product. Buying an expired product can lead to various skin concerns. There’s no better judge than the person who has used or tested a product before. Read the product reviews, see what people have to say about it, and make your decision based on whether the feedback has been positive or negative.
