A client of mine told me just a couple of months ago that she is using the skincare products she bought from me very “sparingly” so that they last. I asked her “how sparingly”? Are you using them every day” “No” she replied. Then I really got scared to ask, but I had to. How often? “I’m using them every couple of days”. It was then I knew I needed to do a product intervention!
So, I started to explain why she shouldn’t be doing that…
Lets take a look at the problem of using them every couple of days. I first explained that they need to be used as directed. She has spent money on these awesome products- probably the same amount you would spend in a department store, but she was getting skincare from me with higher quality ingredients, no fillers, perfumes etc.
Only using them every couple of days…
She was doing her skin a disservice by using them this way. Most skin care products recommend using them once to twice a day. To get the most out of the “performance” ingredients in these products. If not used properly you are wasting your money. It might make your skin look a little better when you put them on but you are not going to ever see positive and long term progress like changes in pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, tone or texture. That’s really the waste of money!
What are performance ingredients? They are ingredients such as Peptides, Vitamin C, AHA’s, Hyaluronic Acid. These are ingredients that affect the skin and turn it into a positive direction, by reducing fine lines, wrinkles, elasticity tone and much more in skin.
At Afterglow one of the skin care lines that I use is GlymedPlus. It is a Pharmaceutical grade of skincare containing technologically advanced ingredients, and certified botanicals. They improve the skins health and appearance by using stronger ingredients.
So, end of story here, I explained all of the above to her and I am happy to say she totally understands and is using her products faithfully as directed, as well as having facial treatments! Can’t wait to see those wonderful changes that will start happening with her skin!
