For the next few weeks, we'll be focusing on skin care. Maybe we've never even met, but I'll bet that if you're like me, you're sick and tired of skin care products that don't do what they claim to. The worst part is that most times, the most expensive products are the ones that are the most ineffective.
Now, of course, there are some good products on the market that genuinely help make your skin look smoother, more radiant, youthful. Not only should a quality skin product help reduce bags under, and fine lines around, the eyes, but it should even out coloration inconsistencies caused by age spots and other unwanted pigment concentrations.
The problem is that
there are literally thousands of products to choose from and unless you become a well-informed consumer, it's hard to find one of the few that actually produces real results and eliminates years of aging from your face and body. And....let's face it, people will understandably spend any amount of money to make themselves look better or younger. Cosmetic surgery is a multi-billion dollar industry and so is the topical skin care industry.
It's simply a law of economics that the more the demand for such products skyrockets, the more product that manufacturers will flood onto the marketplace to capitalize on this demand. A lot of these products are rushed to market to meet this demand without any real consideration to research and development. All of the money goes into the marketing of the product.
On the surface---everything looks great. The bottles and jars that the creams come in look appealing. The magazine advertisements are glossy, complete with a youthful looking model or a well known celebrity who probably doesn't even really use the products.
On one hand, you can't really blame these companies. When you are spending a fortune paying for marketing, whether it be on the product containers, magazine, radio, and TV ads, royalties paid to celebrities and models, you have to charge a lot of money for your products or you're going to lose money. And nobody stays in business long when they're losing money.
On the other hand, this doesn't mean you and I have to fall for these types of marketing schemes. After all, these companies aren't going to encounter any shortage of people who will open their wallets and purses to purchase their products anytime soon.
The reality is that most people simply won't take any time to research products and understand what ingredients work and what ingredients are actually bad for your skin! That's why I decided to concentrate specifically on "Skin Care". I'm not trying to sell you any specific product for your skin; this is all about sharing information that will help you to make the best choices for YOUR skin. Stay tuned for upcoming posts; it's gonna get down and dirty, but at least you'll know more about it that you do now, right?
