Q. Is it really necessary to spend a lot of money on skincare products?

Louise says: ‘You get what you pay for’ and this saying is true in relation to your skincare products too.

     We know that we can buy reasonably prices cosmetics that will take off our make up and stop our skin from feeling dry but if you are wanting to change or improve your skin you need to take things a step further.

     More expensive products are based on scientific research stemming back sometimes over 30 years.

      We should be aware now that using a daily SPF will guard us against skin damage and slow the ageing process but this scientific research now informs us that by adding anti oxidant ingredients to these SPF’s it will further aid this process.

     Lab results show that Peptides really can increase skin firmness and lessen wrinkles and Vitamin C can increase collagen production.

     Retinol (a Vitamin A derivative) is to me as a skin therapist ‘The’ skin vitamin. I have been using this in higher levels then you can buy over the counter for over 10 years now and see great results.

It has been found to be a skin normaliser, help to even out skin texture and colour and is particularly useful for those concerned with outbreaks and ageing skin.

     It is again thanks to this scientific research that I have been able to use and achieve results with a more cosmeceutical (a product that uses higher levels of active ingredients not available over the counter) grade of product.

      What is a waste of money is when you purchase these products and expect a result or change in the skin in less than two weeks and then toss them aside for the next best thing.

    Any product needs to be used consistently for at least a month to allow the skin to go through the cell renewal process.
