Choosing the Right Professional Skin Care Product
There is a professional skin care product on the market just for your needs whether you are battling a case of severe acne or simply want your skin to look younger, fresher, or brighter. From products that pack store shelves to those sold on television, these professional washes, lotions, creams, and masques are everywhere you look. Just like a book, do not rush to judge a professional skin care product by its snazzy packaging, put-together advertising programs, or celebrity spokespeople. Instead of using a product for the wrong reasons, take the time to do your homework and find the correct reason to put your trust—and the quality of your skin—in a particular product. For starters, any product can be professional by simply adding the word to the title. By adding special buzzwords like “professional,” products can suddenly gain a sense of legitimacy and importance. However, usually this term is used to describe products that are designed by a dermatologist. Regardless who designed the actual product, you should keep in mind that anything deemed “professional” that is sold on the market does not require a prescription. Generally speaking, over the counter products are less potent versions of their prescription counterparts. Of course, contrary to popular belief, prescription products are not always better, especially for individuals with sensitive skin or mild cases of acne. Consult a Professional By far, the best way to choose the right professional skin care product is to consult a professional. By speaking with a dermatologist, you will be able to better understand what product will best work for you in your specific situation. Furthermore, he or she will be able to identify your specific type of skin—for example, dry or oily—so that you can choose a product that is tailor made for your skin type as well as your skin issues. Once your dermatologist has provided you with the necessary information, your next step is the task of searching the World Wide Web for a brand that meets your criteria. Popular brands on the market today are SkinMedica and Both of these skin care products are actually a complete system that uses several different products in a series of steps to receive the best overall result. The latter, ProActiv Soutions has seen phenomenal success after hiring celebrities to tell their own stories of skin blemishes, including Vanessa Williams, Jessica Simpson, and Sean “Diddy” Combs. There are a ton of other quality skin care products on the market, so work hard to dig deep and find great results. From the obscure brands that are made specifically to a dermatologist’s orders to the blockbuster brands that sell out time after time, there is the perfect item out there to meet your needs. In addition to these brands, consider looking to popular cosmetic companies including Lancome, Clinique, and even Mary Kay have produced excellent lines of skin care products that work well for individuals looking to clear up blemishes or simply looking to keep their skin looking its very best.
