PSA: Balance…the more I think about this word the more I realize it’s importance.
Balance in beauty is vital to maintaining a healthy skin barrier and looking your best authentic self.
I have seen a major shift in the industry that concerns me. This isn’t people looking looking like clones anymore… this is a different level of concern. More and more I’m seeing skin that is off balance compromised and over processed.
Many times we can’t even do the treatment. We analyze, give recommendations and ask the client to return when their skin has healed.
YES… we turn a potential customer away. That’s the ethical thing to do.
TikTok, Instagram and YouTube have become the new authority of advertising in disguise and most are falling under their influence, hence the label influencer.
Please remember that your skin and it’s genetic makeup is uniquely yours. There are many factories that go into proper recommendation.
Unless a licensed professional isn’t physically evaluating your skin you can’t be sure that a product will be a good fit for your skin type.
Buying skincare isn’t like buying a pair of jeans and even jeans have to have a proper fit for your body type but at least it’s not going to hurt you if it’s not.
Point is…everything you see on social media is an advertisement, that girl with the perfect skin telling you how this serum, devise, tool or cream changed her life is only trying to sell you what she is being paid to sell you.
Please be patient and seek professional assistance when dealing with your skin. You can ruin it forever and it’s the only one you have.
At Skintique we offer complementary consultations and always have samples on hand.
