Lesson Overview

35.3 – Choosing Safe and Effective Products: Choosing safe and effective products means selecting items that suit your personal needs without unnecessary risk. Start by identifying your skin or hair type—oily, dry, sensitive, or combination. Read product claims carefully, verifying them with ingredient lists instead of marketing buzzwords. Look for certifications like “hypoallergenic” or “pH-balanced” for gentle care. Avoid items with excessive dyes or strong artificial scents that can cause irritation. Try patch testing new products on a small area before regular use. Compare brands and prices, remembering that expensive doesn’t always mean better. The goal is consistency and comfort, not trend-following. Making informed choices reflects responsibility, awareness, and long-term thinking—key habits that support both health and independent living success.
