Halloo,
Buying skincare products should not be done on a whim. It is a tricky process especially if you are a beginner or you are looking to change your current skincare regime.
Even more tricky if you have a skin concern you are desperate to solve with a new skincare product. There are no shortages of products out there, all claiming to be the best. The thing about these products is that they work in different ways. So, it is important to choose carefully to get the best results.
No matter your skincare issue, whether it is dull complexion, dry skin, eczema, acne, pimples, psoriasis, ageing signs, exposure to pollution, or if your skin could just do with some TLC, the right skincare products will go a long way in solving the problems.
Loving your skin is to cleanse, hydrate, and revitalize it daily using healthy products. I think it is important not just to think about our skin looking good but to make sure beauty is achieved in a healthy manner.
Here are 7 important things to consider when looking to buy a new skincare product:
1. Research
Do your research, no matter how little. Some products can make your skin problems worse because of some ingredients in them that your skin may not like. It is a challenge.
Get to know the ingredients in your skincare products. This will help in making buying decisions. Know brightening ingredients, know hydrating ingredients, know anti-ageing ingredients, and so on.
Get word of mouth recommendations from friends and family, just know that what works for one person may not work for another.
Check different brands to see how responsible they are, what are their values, their aims, and objectives. Are they environmentally and socially responsible?
2. Stick to a brand
If it is possible do stick to one brand for all your skincare needs. If you already use a product from a brand and you are satisfied with them. Then why not try the new product from them? Provided all other conditions are met of course.
An example is if you already use a moisturizer from a brand and it works perfectly well for you. Why not streamline your search for face cream by buying from them before trying another brand?
3. Patience is very important
Before discarding your current product did you give it a good chance to work? Yes, we may need to experiment with some products before we find a suitable one. But it is important to exercise patience and give these products a chance to deliver results.
Exercising patience will let the skin gets used to the product and adapt accordingly.
4. Expensive is not a guarantee
I know a lot of people who believe that pricey products are the most effective, far from the truth. Higher price doesn’t guarantee effectiveness. So don’t be swayed by those who want to keep up with the Jones. Buy based on effectiveness not how pricey the product is, please.
5. Try samples
A good way to start a new product by buying sample sizes to test on your skin. It is a great way to know whether your skin is compatible with the product without wasting too much money.
6. Beware of endorsements
Buying skincare products because of influencers’ sweet talk on Instagram is the in thing. Do this with caution. Most of these influencers are paid to say these things and do not necessarily use the products.
Some people are so much into celebrities and their lifestyles that they make purchases based on their recommendations. This is so dangerous for skincare product buying. Do your findings first and make sure this is absolutely safe for your skin type and skin issues.
7. Availability
Choosing the right products for your skin can be challenging, how mad will you be to finally discover one that works for you but it is not readily available in your location?
This happened to many people and they have to start the process of looking for other skincare products all over again.
I know those who bought products from America while on holiday and got amazing results but unfortunately, they can’t get the same products in the shop here.
Some of us hear of a wonder cream and we move heaven and earth to get our hands on it. Which is fine, especially if it lives up to the rave. How do we make a repeat purchase?
