What Skin Care "Category" do you Dislike?

Hi everyone. I simply cannot get on with face oils. I know they are all the rage but whenever I receive them in a kit or something, I repurpose and use it on my hair or body. They just feel so claustrophobic on my skin lol. Dermatologists aren't too keen on them either from what I've read here or seen on Youtube. What product do you dislike?

I dislike (or rather my skin does) most anti-aging products. My skin is just too sensitive.

I think expensive lip scrubs and balms are a waste of money. Burt’s Bees, DIYs are just fine.

I don't dislike them, but I don't personally have any interest in beauty gadgets.

I don’t like scrubs or cleansers with particles in them. They feel too rough on my skin.

Self-tanners

Cellulite creams.  Seriously?

Agree with @Iwantcoffee.  I've never found a self tanner that I like that goes on evenly, doesn't come off easily, and looks natural on me.  I've given up on them

Too many to list -- but, believe me, I've tried them all at some point in time and have learned valuable lessons along the way.

 

I agree with others above.  I won't use gadgets, oils, or self-tanners - to name a few.  I also don't like the term "anti-aging"  on any product.

Anything that has "Natural" in its description. It is just a big red flag for, "Danger Will Robinson! This cosmetics line contains every irritating and sensitizing ingredient known to man in its products!"
