I know we have a limited amount of time, knowledge or understanding on what skincare product that is best for us. With my 20 years of esthetic experience, I want to share the common mistakes to avoid.
Try to avoid these common skin care mistakes:
- Don’t buy products based on celebrity endorsements only. We don’t know what they used prior, how long they have been using the endorsed product, or how they are getting compensated.
- Don’t buy products based on consumer satisfaction results only. A valid test has a study group of at least 50 and results from at least 8 weeks.
- Don’t buy products just to receive a free gift.
- Avoid products that contain:
- Acrylates
- BHT
- Carbomer
- DEA
- EDTA
- GMO ingredients
- Mineral oils
- Nano ingredients
- Octinoxate
- oxybenzone
- Parabens
- Phthalates
- Silicones
- Synthetic fragrances
