"Having glowing skin is the desire of every woman. With glowing skin, women can feel more confident. Various methods are used to achieve this desire. Some use many skincare and cosmetic products. Some also go to beauty salons. Consulting with a dermatologist is often the choice of women.
However, in the process, many are impatient to have glowing skin immediately. Promotions for beauty products with instant results can be tempting. In the end, the fast track is taken without considering the side effects.
However, Sony Andika S. S.Farm., M.Far, a lecturer in D3 Anafarma (Pharmaceutical and Food Analysts) at IIK Bhakta, warns the public, especially women, to always be careful in choosing beauty products to use. Because, he continued, many counterfeit beauty products are circulating.
Instead of giving a glowing effect, counterfeit beauty products will bring disaster to the skin. "Do not trust products that promise instant results. Glowing skin is the dream of all women, but we must prioritize the authenticity of the product," Sony emphasized. Of course, no woman wants to see her skin ruined due to choosing the wrong beauty product.
Now it is indeed difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake products. Even at a glance, both products look the same. It's no wonder that many consumers are deceived. So, before this happens to you, it's a good idea to know tricks to determine the authenticity of beauty products, as follows:
Do not just choose a skincare product brand. Especially those with unclear brands. There are now more and more beauty product brands found on the market. Among them, many are fake. Women should choose brands that are guaranteed or clear. Products with a guaranteed brand will provide more maximum results because they have gone through several testing stages.
However, there are also many sellers who cheat for profit. They counterfeit branded products. So, you have to be sharp in distinguishing between the original and fake brand A products. How to do it?
Lower Price The lure of a lower price can be a sign of a fake product. Buyers are easily tempted by cheaper products. Besides, who doesn't like to get their favorite products cheaper than usual?
But, this can backfire on you. It could be that the cheaper offer comes from a fake product.
Products Have Negative Effects Sony advises against continuing to use beauty products that have negative effects, such as itching, redness, and skin damage. Before these bad things happen, you can take preventive measures. The way to do it is by testing the product's compatibility with your skin.
"Try applying the product on the back of the ear. Because the back of the ear has a sensitivity level that is almost the same as the facial skin," explained Sony. If it causes negative side effects, then you need to stop using the product as soon as possible. He recommends giving your face a break for 1-2 months. During that time, it's best not to use any beauty products until your skin returns to normal.
Each facial skin has different characteristics. It's a good idea to know your facial skin well. So, you can easily distinguish between suitable and unsuitable ingredient compositions.
For example, woman A is not suitable for products with Niacinamide composition. So, woman A should not use products containing Niacinamide from any brand. The composition can be seen in detail on the product packaging. You can pay attention to the composition before buying the product. If it's not available, information about the product's composition can be found on the brand's official social media and website. You can also ask directly from the seller.
The correct use of products can yield maximum results. So it's important for you to pay attention to the detailed use of beauty products. Just like composition, the instructions for using the product are usually written in detail on the packaging or the brand's official website.
There are some beauty products that are not suitable for use in the morning or during the day. This is because the product contains ingredients that will react negatively when exposed to sunlight. So, usage should not be arbitrary.
Every cosmetic product sold in the Indonesian market must have a registered distribution permit number from BPOM. You, as a buyer, can easily check the distribution permit number on the official BPOM website. If it's already registered, then you don't need to worry about the authenticity of the product.
By following the above tricks, you don't need to worry about distinguishing between genuine and fake beauty products. Don't forget to also follow the IIK Bhakta Youtube channel."
