No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries February 2020

  • I rarely wear make-up, I use soap, not expensive creams and lotions, and use a really cheap shampoo, followed by a good quality conditioner. My skin has not dropped off, dried up or disintegrated and my hair has hardly any grey, despite beng in my 60s. I have saved thousands of pounds over the years and not missed the gunk that people plaster on their faces at all. I am really p'd off by all the adverts for supposedly essential luxury, worldwide products on TV that can't even get more than about 30 people to say that their products are any good. Everyone should look at the number of people surveyed and the number who agreed, which has to be shown on the advert to back up their claims - when L'Oreal etc can only say that 75% of about 50 women agree with their claims, it means they are trying to convince the country to buy something that only 36 people agree with. Would I buy something on the strength of 36 people's opinion? No way. Or do they think that more extensive survey results would drop their figures even more?
