Skin care and cosmetics
Skin care and cosmetics are a necessary part of our lives. The beauty industry in the United States accounts for a staggering $62 billion dollars annually. The average female consumer spends hundreds of dollars per year on beauty products. If you’re not careful, purchasing skin care and cosmetics products can eat up a large portion of your budget, and not achieve your goal of great looking skin.
It’s important, while trying to save money, to find the best products for your skin. Sometimes cheaper does not mean better for you. Here are some tips to finding skin care and cosmetics that help you look great.
Finding skin care and cosmetic products that serve dual purposes
Some products can help you look great, and help your skin at the same time. For example, Intellishade is a sunscreen that’s also a moisturizer. This one product, formulated with a blend of three peptides and broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection can:
- Moisturize and blend naturally with the color of your skin
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Provide broad-spectrum UV protection
- Matte formula contains the latest pore-minimizing technology
- Fight photodamage which causes premature aging
Check with your local dermatologist for recommendations on cosmetics and skin care products.
Avoid these pitfalls and tips when purchasing skincare products:
- Look for physician grade skin products as these products are backed by scientific evidence because they spend a large portion of their budget on research and clinical testing
- Avoid marketing ploys. The majority of skincare brands found in department stores and drug stores spend a large portion of their budget on marketing resulting in great smelling pretty packaged products that fall short on delivery of the results you are looking for
- Beware of False products. Avoid purchasing counterfeit products on amazon or ebay, as these are unauthorized retailers for many physician grade skincare lines. They may contain counterfeit or even harmful products that can potentially damage the skin. It is best to purchase from a licensed physician office retailer.
Additional ways to care for your skin
You can also provide excellent skin care for by asking your dermatologist which of these services will benefit you: microneedling, facial, microdermabrasion, and laser skin resurfacing. These maintenance services can make a dramatic difference in your face and how well your skin care and cosmetic products work.
