Skin Care Products Wont Work! No skin care or cosmetic product,(or any other product for that matter) will work, unless you use it!
Sounds obvious, right?
But don't we all have a "graveyard" drawer of unused and never to be used skin care items?
Bought on a whim or from convincing sales pressure, with little thought of how they fit our needs, wants, lifestyles, etc.?
So, what properties make-up your ideal skin care?
1. Ease of use?
Unless it fits into your lifestyle, you wont use it! It 's that simple!
Unless you're Oprah or some other celebrity, with others at your beck and call, your skin care is your responsiblity and with most of us already running on over-time, fast and easy is a not just a bonus, it's a must!
2. Natural and environmentally-friendly?
A growing number of consumers are choosing to use earth-friendly, cruelty-free, natural skin care and cosmetic products. The skin care industry is responding and there are now many sources where these items can be bought.
Choosing the most natural skin care we can find is just a part of the other healthy choices we make, such as not smoking, balancing our diet, exercising and getting enough rest.
3. Cost?
Skin care doesn't have to be ridiculously expensive to work! I have seen a jar of face cream that cost $1000.00! I have never and would never use it. There is no need to spend that amount on skin care, when there are more cost effective alternatives, that work just as well. Believe me...I know! Whenever, I have a facial or massage, my soft skin, immediately becomes the talk of the salon or spa. They (the staff) want to know my "secret". When I do reveal my secret and how reasonably priced it is, they always want to try it.
*Don't make the mistake of buying skin care or cosmetic products without knowing your skin type. *No matter how high quality or how high priced the product is, if it is not designed for your skin type, you're defeating it's purpose and wasting your time and money.
4. Guaranteed?
Skin care that is not over-hyped and full of empty promises and unrealistic goals, such as(look 20 when you're 50), can offer guarantees!
Why, because the same ingredients work in the same way(unless the customer is either(a) allergic to or(b) does not use the product as intstructed).
For example, in an exfoliating gel or serum, fruit derived, alpha-hydroxy acids(AHA's) will gently remove thedead cells and debris from the uppermost skin layerand reveal a smoother brighter complexion.
This is it's characteristic and what it is designed to do and will do, when used as it should be!
Be wise and educate yourself about your skin care choices, not just about what the products do, but how they do it and whether you will actually use these, sometimes, very expensive items.
Remember they wont work, if you don't use them!
