excuse me while I rant 🫖
key takeaways:
~drug store isn’t bad, but it’s not as efficacious
~if you’re cutting costs, do it on your cleanser, moisturizer, spf
~the term medical grade isn’t regulated but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t mean anything
~skincare sold by licensed professionals are going to have higher quality ingredients, have studies done behind them, and are going to transform your skin
~spend the money on your actives (vit c, exfoliating acids, exosomes, aging serums, retinol)
~influencers don’t have a license (and are probably being paid for their review)
~skincare marketing is generic and not customized to you (and you’re not a chemist. please stop pretending and destroying your barrier)
~nothing beats a consult with a licensed professional that goes in depth based off YOUR skin and goals
