The beauty industry is one of the most advanced industries around the world. There are many products used to enhance our beauty being launched today. However, not all of these products are essential or have the same effect across the body. There are factors or elements that differentiate them and that make them effective, suitable or efficient for as an individual and if used similarly by another, can result in adverse side effects. This is why you need to be well informed before making any form of purchase ranging from foundations for your makeup to exfoliation products for your morning routine. Here are some of the factors or things you should know or consider before you purchase any of these products.
- Need
The first thing is that you need to assess the need you have for that specific product. Let take exfoliation as an example, the question here would be the presence of dead skin cells on your skin. Whether they pose a problem or challenge to you as an individual or not and whether or not you need to take action and purchase an exfoliating product. Once these are answered, the next question would be what to use to exfoliate skin and ensure you skin return normal and glowy once more. Furthermore, assess what danger might be ahead if you fail to purchase and use that product to you as a person and to your skin.
- Skin Type
Beauty products are designed and produced with the objective to be used by people with a specific skin type. It is therefore essential to identify your skin type, know the factors and elements that affect it and purchase products that have been designed with your skin type in mind or a general product. This makes it easy to protect and ensure you use the right product on the right skin. In addition, your normal skin type can be prone to other skin conditions such as the appearance of pimples acne or a combination of two different skin types. This is important information that you should have at your fingertips at any given time.
- Ingredients
Identify the general composition of the beauty product. With the exfoliating products, ask what to use to exfoliate skin and what is contained in exfoliating product. For exfoliation, you should look for products with ingredients such as lactic acid, salicylic acid and others that work by dissolving the dead cells. In addition, look for products with other accompanying ingredients such as jojoba and or bamboo beads. They are important in cooling down the skin texture and feel ensuring your skin remains revitalized for longer.
- Frequency Of Use
The first step is to learn what the product is and finally learn how to use that product. for the exfoliating product, you have to learn how to use it i.e. do I apply the mix and leave it one, to I apply in a certain movement, then let it dry and scrub it off my face or skin before rinsing etc. In addition, you have to identify the number of times you are supposed to use the exfoliating product in a week, month or year depending on the product. Exfoliating is highly adviced to two or three times in a single week. However, if you have a sensitive skin, then you should only use the product once in a single week.
- Chemical/ Home Made/ Physical
Many products can be designed or manufactured in a company or designed at home. Both these products are effective in their objective and some can be efficient than others. Some use different methods when it comes to their working process and this is what differentiates many beauty products. By indentifying the different working process, you might be able to select the product you need or want before purchasing it. For example in exfoliation, products used use two processes i.e. the chemical process and the physical process. The chemical involves use of acids to break connection or binding materials between different cells of the skin removing the dead cells. Physical involves using a facial scrub and scrubbing off the dead cells.
