Many ingredients are absorbed into the skin and enter the body in cosmetic products. Therefore, you should carefully consider what you apply to the skin.



GoBeauty Blog advises using the “trust but verify” rule of thumb and reading the composition before using the product. Here are 5 ingredients to avoid.



### Parabens

These are preservatives that can be found in everything. They are easy to determine on the label, because harmful substances will necessarily end with “paraben”, for example, methylparaben, propylparaben, isopropyl paraben and isobutyl paraben. These substances are known as endocrine disrupters. They mimic estrogen in the body and can lead to hormonal imbalances and, possibly, to breast cancer.



### Artificial Fragrance/Parfum

Almost every ordinary cosmetic product (even “odourless”) contains artificial flavours. Manufacturers are not required to disclose what is actually in their fragrances. Therefore, you will see Fragrance or Parfum in the list of ingredients, although it may be a mixture of carcinogens, allergens, endocrine disorders and irritants.



## Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate

SLS and SLES are foaming elements used in a variety of personal care products, including skin care products and cosmetics, shampoo and toothpaste. These are surfactants that can cause skin irritation or allergies.



## Phthalates

This is a plasticizer that is added to plastic so that it does not become brittle. Phthalates are used in cosmetics mainly in fragrances, and can also be found in other personal care products such as hair spray and nail polish. Examples include DBP, DEHP, DEP and others. Like parabens, phthalates are endocrine disrupters and can cause hormonal and reproductive problems.



### Diethanolamine

It is a known carcinogen and toxin for the respiratory tract. Despite this, it is still used in bath foam, shower gels and shampoos. On cosmetic labels, it is often written as DEA.

Pay attention: harmful elements in cosmetics

The use of the sauna has never been questioned: it helps to normalize pressure, relax and relieve emotional stress and, of course, it helps to communicate in good company over a cup of fragrant herbal tea. Now saunas have become very popular yet and thanks to a pleasant “side effect” – the ability to lose weight. However, do not think that it’s enough just to steam for a while in the sauna and fatty deposits will melt. To lose weight, you need to get to the point with your mind.



## How to lose weight in the sauna

When a person enters a sauna, the body starts to heat up quickly. To compensate overheating, the process of sweating begins, which helps cool your body. Together with sweat, liquid and salts are excreted from the body. For a two-hour session of visiting the sauna, you can lose up to 2 litres of liquid, but this does not mean that the melted fat comes out, it is consumed by the body’s water reserves. It should be understood that when you drink water or tea, the body’s fluid reserves will be replenished and the weight will be the same. But effect from visiting sauna is still there, as slags and toxins are washed out of the body together with salts, which normalizes metabolism. In addition, at high temperatures, blood circulation significantly increases, which stimulates the breakdown of fat. It is also important that the process of sweating is quite energy-intensive, which also contributes to weight loss, and if you still use special cosmetics for weight loss, you can significantly enhance the effect.

## Losing weight correctly

 To keep the effect and not get kilograms left in the sauna returned, the process of losing weight should be approached in a complex way. In addition to visiting the steam room, it is worthwhile to undergo a course of anti-cellulite massages (10-15 procedures), normalize your meals and regularly take fitness classes. To consolidate the effect, sauna visits should be regular – once a week.

Before enrolling in the sauna, remember that it is contraindicated:
- pregnancy;
- diabetes;
- vascular diseases;
- exacerbations of chronic diseases.

Does sauna really help in losing weight?

In <a href="https://gobeauty.space/en/blog/article/Botox-for-your-hair:-A-to-Z/">the previous article about botox for hair</a> we talked about how the name of such a concept as “botox” came about and the principles of its action.



Today we’ll talk about the ingredients – how to read, and most importantly understand the composition? What are fillers represented by and what are film-forming products?



## PART III



## Ingredients



So, let us recall the previous parts: what is “botox”, “restoration”, “reconstruction” and what is the difference between them? The answer is extremely simple: these are different names for the same process – hair “treatment”.



What is quality reconstruction? Let’s divide into stages:



## Preliminary cleansing with a special shampoo



The main objective of this stage is to maximize the purification of the hair from dirt accumulated – dust, styling trash (especially silicones), oils, fragments of a detached cuticle, etc.



This stage of cleansing should perform one single function – to cleanse and prepare the hair for further “introduction” of the next stage. Therefore, it is not recommended to use “fatty”, nutritious shampoos in this case. Purification – and nothing more.



## Filling a damaged cortex structure, moisturizing



**Fillers** will cope with the filling function:



- proteins in the first place (protein, collagen, elastin, keratin). It is desirable that the words “hydrolyzed” appear before these words. Then the probability of deeper penetration will be higher;
- peptides – substances consisting of amino acid residues;
- unconditionally amino acids;
- ceramides – to “help” the cuticular layer;
- and of course, oils (not to be confused with Mineral oil – a refined product).



The most popular **humidifiers** used today:



- glycerin 
- propylene glycol 
- sorbitol 
- sodium PCA
- aloe barbadensis leaf juice 
- urea



All of the above fillers and moisturizers – this is the foundation that is designed to work with hair, it is for this that money is paid, due to this a qualitative result is obtained. Everything else is secondary (thickeners, emulsifiers, perfumes, preservatives, etc.).



Another point to be taken with caution is that sometimes alcohol (alcohol denat, isopropyl alc., Ethyl alc., Ethanol, methanol) is added to the composition of such filler concentrates. As a rule, it is at the top of the list, therefore in large amounts and is intended to act as conveyor conductors. That is, to help other ingredients penetrate as deep as possible into the damaged cortex layers. However, with hair too damaged, with increased hygroscopicity (porosity), such a compound can play a trick. Hair may not withstand such an “alcohol” effect and simply break off. For this reason, many hairdressers “complain” of broken hair after the “treatment” procedure. Always check the composition and if you see the above types of alcohol at the top of the list, this remedy is not suitable for too damaged hair.



## Film-formers, the final stage of any reconstruction



These are the ingredients that will create a protective thick polymer shell by sealing everything placed in it in the cortex at the previous stage. It is these ingredients that give the hair thickness, shine, smoothness. So what are they:



- PEG
- PPG
- PVP
- dimethicone
- dimethiconol
- paraffinum liquidum/ mineral oil/ petrolatum 



And now the main thing: we use hair straightener – hot botox, and we do not use cold.



In conclusion, is botox for hair so bad – NO!



But it all depends on what kind of botox and whether it is correctly selected in relation to a particular type and condition of hair.



After all, if a woman/man has healthy thick uncontrollable hair that is subjected to daily executions with a straightener in order to give them at least some order, then, of course, hot botox with an abundance of film-forming ingredients will be a real salvation in this situation. But the use of the same product on the damaged structure of bleached hair will already, on the contrary, be a crime. Therefore, you always need to think logically and responsibly approach any chemical procedure!

The cream can be applied both to the whole face and to local imperfections. The updated formula makes acne so that it does not appear again, does not leave any traces, and removes redness. In addition, it controls the production of sebum and mattifies the skin.

Professional hairstylists have access to a wide range of hair oxidizers and the knowledge and experience to use them effectively. They can assess the condition and type of hair, desired color outcome, and choose the best developer accordingly. They're also experienced in applying the color evenly and processing it for the correct amount of time to achieve the desired result while minimizing potential damage.



On the other hand, at-home hair dye kits typically come with a one-size-fits-all developer, which may not be suitable for all hair types or desired outcomes. These kits are designed for ease of use and convenience, but they lack the customization that a professional hairstylist can offer. The developer included in these kits is often a 20 volume, which is a middle-of-the-road option that works for most people. However, it may not be the best choice for everyone.

If you're considering dyeing your hair at home, it's essential to do your research and understand the role of the developer in the hair coloring process. If you're looking to make a significant color change, particularly if you want to go lighter, it may be best to seek the help of a professional.

Quitting bad habits can change our lives. Especially when it comes to hair: every day, without knowing it, we make a lot of mistakes and spoil our curls. GoBeauty Blog has prepared a list of the most horrifying mistakes that can cost us beautiful hair.



## Not enough frequent cleaning

The tendency to dry shampoo and co-washing has done its part - today, most girls are quite sure that the less they wash their hair, the less it gets dirty. In turn, experts are convinced of the opposite: no matter how your hair is trained, it will not be obeyed. The fact is that our body is a special mechanism that works according to its well-established scheme. True, some genes and other biological features allow you to wash your head at least once a week while creating the effect of thick and well-groomed hair. To others, such a system can only hurt. Lack of sufficient purification causes the follicles and pores of the scalp to become clogged. As a result - hair loss and brittleness, as well as the appearance of itching and dandruff appear. This is why the skin needs to be cleaned up with a level of dirtiness, not a strict schedule. 



### Washing with too hot water

Another common mistake in hair care is the temperature of the water. Many of us like to relax in a hot bathtub, and there are also extremists who, on the contrary, like to take a cold, almost icy shower. But when it comes to washing your head, it is strongly not advisable to rinse your hair with water that is too hot or cold. This can seriously damage the hair. To keep the hair well combed, smooth and silky, it is recommended to wash it in warm water, and the final rinse is better to do with cool water. This will help close the cuticle of the hair by keeping the active components of care products in it, as well as make the hair smoother.



### Going outside with wet hair

This point is relevant not only in summer but also in winter. Not completely dried curls can literally freeze or dry with the sun and burn, turning into "straw". Going outside with wet hair in winter can end in an illness. Hairdressers and doctors unanimously advise you to wash your hair 2-3 hours before going outside.



## Irregular haircutting

Split ends are a problem for many girls. What to do with them? It won't work to save them. They are a dead hair structure, damaged, non-restorable keratin chains. To stop the excision process, they must be cut. Failure to do so will damage the curls one by one, further damaging the healthy hair structure. 



### Improper air conditioner and mask usage

Given the current rhythm of life, this rule will be the most difficult to apply. To maximize the effect of using a conditioner or nourishing mask, it makes no sense to apply products on wet hair. The fact is that water molecules are the ideal guide for delivering useful components deep into the hair. However, if there is too much water on the hair, it becomes a blocker, filling the entire space of the hair and preventing the nutrients from entering its structure. 



Of course, even if you apply conditioner or mask on wet hair, it will still be smoother, shinier and will be better to comb. However, it will only be a cosmetic effect. The ingredients restoration can really help solve the problem of dryness and brittleness, and will never get into the hair. In order for the care products to work 100%, it is necessary to apply them on towel-dried hair along the entire length and at the tips, but in no case by rubbing them into the scalp.
