A beautiful and healthy skin is a big confidence booster. Some people are naturally beautiful and hence don't use any 'skin care cosmetic'. Then there are others, who don't use skin care cosmetic due to their laziness. Still some feel that skin care cosmetic can harm their skin, and hence abandon the use of any kind of skin care cosmetic. However, there are a large number of people who do use skin care cosmetic (that's why the business of skin care cosmetic is prospering). 

So, is skin care cosmetic useful, or is it harmful? Well, the opinions seem divided. However, one thing is for sure – Looking beautiful is surely nice and very desirable. Also, too much skin care cosmetic can surely be harmful (as such, excess of anything is harmful). So, what does one do?

The first thing is to formulate (and follow) a skin care routine that will help keep your skin healthy and disease-free. The general recommendation is to cleanse and moisturise everyday, and tone and exfoliate occasionally (as and when needed). 

Next thing is the skin care cosmetics that you would be using additionally (as beauty enhancers). These skin care cosmetics could either be part of your skin care routine or be applied only on special occasions (e.g. when attending a party etc).

The most important thing with skin care cosmetic is its selection. Here is a set of rules that you should use when selecting any skin care cosmetic:

* The general rule is to use products that suit your skin type. This is true both for the routine products and for the skin care cosmetic. So check the label to see what it says e.g. 'for dry skin only' or 'for all skin types' etc.
* Test the skin care cosmetic before using it. This can be done by applying the skin care cosmetic on a small patch of skin e.g. ear lobes and checking the reaction of your skin to the product
* Check the ingredients of the skin care cosmetic for chemicals that you are allergic to. Do not use products that are very harsh on skin e.g. products with high alcohol concentrations; such cosmetics might work for once but cause a long-lasting damage to your skin.
* 'More isn't better'. Ensure that you apply the products in right quantity (neither less not more). Also, be gentle with your skin and follow the right procedures for application of skin care products. Rubbing too hard or trying to squeeze a pimple can lead to permanent damage to your skin.
* Finally, if you have a skin disorder e.g. acne etc, you should consult your dermatologist before using any skin care cosmetic.

Glad to know is useful.  I think Sexy Confidence tanning lotion is the product that suit your skin.

More use of cosmetic products are very harmful to your skin.  So try to avoid use them when no required needs of them.  Make a natural beauty by using natural products.  Avoid early aging by less use of these kind of harmful chemical products.

Skin Care products are may be harmful unless they are cosmetics or herbal products. it depends, on your skin too.

loveymiller, Skin Care products may be harmful if used in wrong way,  that is why fine print is good to be read, but often many people ignore or are too lazy to read it.

That is right & i am agree with you Admin but our skins also played a important role in it.

Needless to say, our skin differ, but by knowing what a particular skin accepts and the other skin rejects is vital, which often detailed in fine print by the skin care manufactures which they must have done research on. I understand that we tend to be in a hurry and that is where the trap is.  Different skin care products are meant for different skins. 

Yes, that is why i used to prefer Natural or herbal products rather then cosmetics. atleast my skin will be more safe and pure.

Well, I suggest you stick to method you're confident in, at least you're more convinced at it.

Yep !!!
