Hi Beauty,
First, welcome to the Bionic Beauty blog!
I agree with you in some aspects about over-hyped beauty products. The industry is working to improve standards on labeling- mainly those that call out outlandish claims when they do not have the science, or proof, to back them. A few examples include some of the new “gene or DNA specific” face creams that claim to resequence or alter your DNA so that you’ll age slower or reverse the signs of aging. No cream can do that obviously. And it’s really sad to see some people dishing out hundreds of dollars thinking that it’s true.

Another one that irks me is a particular mask that claims to contain liquid Oxygen. It’s packed in a regular dispenser. Anyone who remembers basic high school chemistry knows that liquid O2 (Oxygen) can’t be present in regular room pressure. The container would have to be highly pressurized.

Then there are all the items that say “Natural”, “organic”, eco-friendly, etc. This really needs to be regulated, in my opinion. Currently, if an item is 80% water- a company can call it natural or organic.

It all comes down to knowledge. And that’s why I review products. I hope to educate fellow Bionic Beauties on what is good for your skin, what really works, and what you should look out for when choosing a potential skin/body/hair care product.

What items are ones that you see as over-hyped? I’d love to keep this discussion going!
Cheers,
Jami

Don’t you think there is too much hype with beauty products these days? I love your tips and advice BTW. Its just that there are too many beauty products on the market that are over expensive while claiming to be “the next best thing”.
