If anyone asks me about their skin, my answer is always the same: home care products first.
Looking after your skin on a daily basis and using prescribed skin care products for your skin needs is roughly 75% of the work. Using home care products twice daily which takes only 3 to 5 minutes each morning and evening can give a far greater improvement than random or even regular 1 to 1.5-hour clinic treatments, which typically deliver short-lived results lasting only a few days.
When using the right home care your skin gets all the support it needs to remain strong, hydrated and plump, to be resistant to weather changes, UV exposure or hormonal changes.
The Problem with Self-Prescribed Skincare
Yet, research shows that most people use self-prescribed home care products, made for everyone's skin, like one-size-fits-all. But still, we expect these cosmetic products give us the desired result when no two skins are exactly the same. Not even identical twins' skins are the same.
This cannot be the same because of lifestyle, diet, genetics and physical or emotional factors all shape our skin differently. We still spend hundreds and hundreds of pounds on home care products that will end up sitting on our shelves for years without even changing their colour, fragrance or consistency.
Warning: The Risks of Wrong Products
It is not only frustrating that our skin care routine isn't making any significant changes in our skin, but using those products long term can be harmful and cause symptoms that we bought those products to eliminate, such as dehydration, sensitivity, spots and breakouts.
The Danger of "Skinfluencers"
"Skinfluencers" without formal knowledge about skin can make this worse by promoting products they don't fully understand. Following unqualified advice and using self-prescribed products can lead to serious, lasting damage such as:
- Chronic inflammation - Long-term irritation and redness
- Scarring - Permanent marks from improper treatment
- Deeper tissue damage - Harm to skin's structural integrity
- Barrier dysfunction - Compromised skin protection
