The Curse Of Fake Skincare Products

The Curse Of Fake Skincare Products

The Curse Of Fake Skincare Products

 

Ever wondered why your favorite night cream is not showing results anymore? Its consistency, its packaging and even its color is not the same. Well chances are that you have also been entrapped by some counterfeit skincare products! Using skincare products from leading brands that work wonders is every person’s dream. But not everyone can afford it. Everyone wants to experience that same product in much cheaper price and this is exactly what the counterfeit industry takes advantage of. 

What is Counterfeit Skincare?

Counterfeit skincare is basically the imitation of leading skincare products with harmful ingredients that have nothing to do with skincare! Deceiving people by making labels and packaging similar to the genuine ones is what they do to attract people to purchase the products of their dreams at super low prices. The changes are barely noticeable and that’s how they trick people into buying such products!

Facts on fakes

What if I tell you that the fake fancy skincare products that you purchase with the intention of getting glowing skin contains not only mercury, lead, cadmium but also rat droppings and urine? Not very fancy huh. It all started with fake designer handbags of course but that’s still alright because fake designer bags don’t cause skin cancer, unlike fake skincare products. Skincare brands are entitled to follow standardized rules and regulations which guarantee that the product is free from bacteria and other harmful ingredients. Counterfeit skincare companies, on the other hand follow no such protocols in order to gain the maximum profit. So, investing in fake skincare is like a lottery with endless possibilities. Possibility for you to breakout, have rash, chemical burns, eye infections etc. What’s alarming is that these ingredients also pose a great threat to a person’s health!

How to spot fake skincare?

With some common sense and awareness, together we can judge the originality of organic beauty products:

  • Is it too good to be true?

Yes! sales are tempting and irresistible. But if a PKR 5000 product is selling for PKR 500, it is a red signal. It doesn’t matter how badly we want this to be true, it’s not! It’s just a counterfeit skincare company making fast bucks by giving us an impression that they can make our dreams come true.

  • Cheap Packaging

Ever came across a brand that has the items misspelled on its packaging? No, right? This is because high quality original brands have a whole professional team working for them to ensure that there are no errors in packaging or production of the product! However, it is very common for fake products to have such errors on them. Most of these fakes are manufactured in China. The language barrier causes these mistakes. So, if you see that the items are misspelled, description doesn’t make any sense, packaging is off with different color, different font, irregular illustration and logos with usually no ingredients list, know that it’s a major red flag.

  • Buying from unlisted retailers:

Always purchase from authentic and reputed sellers. If you are purchasing a product from a street market or cosmetic shop, make sure you cross check with the brand through their social media platforms or helpline in order to confirm whether the shop is an authorized seller! In case, you are purchasing skincare from online stores, always look for reviews and ratings. These things are lifesavers!

  • Look for Barcode:

Do you also use the Conatural Saffron Complexion Builder? Wait, it does not have a barcode on it? Hmmmm Suspicious! Most counterfeit products don’t have a barcode. If they do its probably fake and scanning won’t lead to any information. To spot fake skincare just download a barcode scanner, scan the barcode and see if it shows up any data. If not, then you know what to do! Dump that product right away!

  • Do some research:

Have you been thinking of purchasing the Rose Bundle from Conatural since a while? But wait, don’t rush into buying the product or you may fall prey to counterfeit products. Do your research. Carefully observe the packaging and consistency. Instead of purchasing from the shop next door, rush to Conatural’s outlets that are being listed on the website or order directly from the website. You can also purchase the bundle from authentic sellers that Conatural is in contract with like Alfatah, Rakanna, Aodour, Bagallery etc.

  • Are sellers ready to bargain?

Have you ever seen brands that are willing to bargain? No. Because they have a fixed price policy. We all know that. Counterfeit industry, on the other hand, is desperately trying to prove that they are the original. So, to please customers they will be ready to bargain which proves how authentic and genuine their products actually are! Your skin is precious! Do not let counterfeit products play with it. Less is more. Switch your 10 step skincare routine using fake products to a 3 step routine using genuine products, and see the difference in your skin! Don’t believe everything you see on the internet. Instead, do proper research and give your skin the love that it truly deserves with best organic skincare products!

No skin regimen is complete without face masks. They work like mini facials that give your skin a much-needed dose of nourishment. However, with so many face masks readily available, it's hard to find the right one that perfectly suits your skin type and actually works.


People often get confused about whether they should opt for a glowy mask, a brightening mask, or perhaps a detox mask. But you don't have to panic, as you're definitely not the only one feeling this way! In this post, we will help you understand how face masks actually work.


Additionally, we will clarify the choices you have to make and ultimately determine what your skin actually needs. We will also introduce you to the fantastic range of Conatural's face masks that every skincare lover should try!


Read ahead, as it's high time to transform your skincare routine for real results.

Why Should You Use a Face Mask?

Face masks are a key component of any skincare routine. Whether you're struggling with dullness, pigmentation, breakouts, or an uneven skin tone, there's a mask that can treat your problem. Here are some reasons to use face masks in your weekly routine:

  • Face masks can deeply cleanse your pores
  • They can hydrate, brighten, or detox your skin based on the product ingredients
  • They improve skin texture and leave your skin with a healthy glow
  • They can give your skin a refreshing boost before an occasion and/or after a long day

The key is to choose the right beauty mask for your skin type and your current skin needs.

There is a mask for every skin type; you just need to choose the right one based on your skin type and current skin concerns. So, before selecting a face mask, ask yourself the following question:


Is your skin dry, oily, combination, or sensitive?

Once you’ve identified your skin type and concern, it’s easier to find the best face mask that can provide real results.

What to Look for in a Face Mask? 

Natural face masks with clean, non-toxic ingredients can do wonders for your skin! Here are some ingredients to look out for:

  • Clay: Deep cleanses and removes oil
  • Licorice root: Brightens and soothes
  • Turmeric: Reduces acne and adds glow
  • Fruit enzymes: Gently exfoliate and renew skin
  • Vitamin C: Boosts radiance and fights dark spots

Don’t settle for less. Harmful chemicals and toxic skin care products have been shown in studies to damage skin, so make sure you're using a clean product. Conatural’s face masks are made with all of these plant-based ingredients to give your skin the love it needs, with no nasty chemicals, parabens, or synthetic fragrances.

FAQs

Can I use more than one mask in a week?
Absolutely! By using different masks on different areas of your face, you can address different skin concerns. This is referred to as multi-masking. For example, you might apply the Instant Glow Face Mask to the dull areas and the White Face Brightening Mask to the pigmented areas.
How long should I leave a face mask on?
Always follow the directions on the product's label. Generally, 10-20 minutes is ideal. If you're still wearing it after this amount of time, you may be doing more harm than good, especially if it contains active ingredients, which can irritate your skin.
How often should I apply a face mask?
Once or twice a week is typically enough. If you have sensitive skin, try applying it once a week, gradually increasing the frequency if tolerated.
