The black market for beauty exists! We tell you how not to fall

When you are addicted to beauty, and you are always looking for new products to try, it is easy to fall into the black market.

This is why ending up on a fake website, or an Instagram ad that uses the same aesthetic as the original brand, is more common than you might think.

There are some cosmetic brands in particular that are more imitated than others, among which we have found Kylie Cosmetics, Too Faced and of course the cleansing tool that revolutionized the market Foreo.

The first rule to avoid being a victim of scams is to make sure that when buying, the site you have chosen is the official distributor of that brand in your country. Another valuable piece of advice is to be wary of unrealistic promotions and prices , especially if you know that these products are high-end, or there is no way they cost that much.

When choosing the payment method it is convenient to use a single card for your online purchases. It is also a reality that trusted sites have a security policy regarding your personal data which includes your address and payment information, to give you security.

As a final tip, we remind you that properly regulated brands have extreme control in terms of ingredients and formulations. One more reason to buy original, because when you use an imitation product, you do not know what you are applying to your skin and it could bring you completely different results than desired.

On the other hand, buying non-original products encourages the beauty black market to continue to exist, so it is better to pay close attention to online purchases to make sure that the makeup, creams, serums or devices that you use really guarantee safety and security. results.
