The moment you are out in sunlight, “the wheel of problems” start rolling. The ultra-violet rays can cause rashes, sunburn and sore your skin.

Usually, your skin becomes red should a potent steroid (present in beauty creams) is subjected towards skin for more than 4 weeks. Small bumps may appear at once; they may be scaly and extremely itchy. Overtime enlarged blood vessels surface, and skin becomes hypersensitive.

2. Skin cancer

If your skin is oily and on top of that you are using beauty creams that introduce additional oil on your skin, know that your pores will be clogged. By clogged, it means your pores will not breathe. Saans hi nahi aye gi tou kia banay ga? Sooch lo…

Once the substance that clogs your pores is infected with bacteria, your internal skin will be exposed to it. Ultimately, it leads to the formation of pimples. This is not only annoying but hinders your self-confidence. In this age, if you are letting such measly things suck the confidence out of you, then you to avoid doing things that cause everything in the first place. Not to forget, you are likely to scratch your pimples which will lead to scars on your face.

Not 13 going on 30. 25 going on 32, absolutely! One of the most daunting drawbacks about beauty creams is that they make you look way above your real age if you use them too much. Skin begins to sag rapidly, negating the element of your youthfulness. Tightness, elasticity and thinning of your skin lead to wrinkles.

Be yourself. Be confident about how you look. Be wise, be smart, be careful and most importantly, take care of yourself.
