AGE GRACEFULLY
Just about everyone has felt overwhelmed standing in a drugstore aisle looking at the variety of choices available for skincare. Often we ask ourselves, “should I get the well-known brand or the store brand, and are any of them actually doing what they claim to do?” Luckily, none of us are alone in the quest to decipher the marketing strategies of billion dollar companies. One of the most important steps in choosing between the plethora of skin care products on the market is determining the truth behind the product. The unfortunate part of that quest is that a majority of the manufacturing companies don’t spend their money on quality, evidence-based research. Instead, money is spent on advertising and outselling the competition, leaving consumers to face the extremely difficult challenge of determining the true benefits of a single product.
The Truth About Skincare Products
- Clean and effective ingredients are more expensive.
- Manufacturer scientist teams know their competitors ingredients
- Little difference exists between the top 10 global skincare lines.
- Once to twice a year a new major advancement is discovered.
- Billions of dollars are spent to attract you to a specific product.
- Little unbiased research is conducted in the aesthetic industry.
- Head-to-head studies comparing company’s products to the next are rarely conducted.
Chemical Free versus Man-Made
Everything comes from something on the planet. It’s important to know that in some cases, an ingredient that is grown naturally can be more harmful than something man has produced, and vice versa. The purpose of reducing harsh toxins and chemicals in skin care is to prevent long-term damage and irritation. Every client has a different plan for optimizing their skin’s health, so our practice does the research necessary to help you achieve your best self using the best products on the market.
Scientific Advancements
The rate of advancements in topical anti-aging skin care products is growing exponentially each year. There is no single “fountain of youth” ingredient or product, however, scientists are continuously working to discover new pathways to slow the rate in which we age and identify new ways to restore our youthful appearance. At SM Aesthetics, we have a simple and real mission that can be accomplished by remaining small, focused and determined to provide you with the safest and most advanced skin care products in the world.
Daily Skincare Regimen
A collection of products from different manufacturers can do more harm to your skin than you might know. Often marketing strategies suck consumers into a whirlwind of product overload, and unnecessary variation. Knowing your skin’s mission to maintain a specific pH balance can help you make less impulsive purchases based on billions of dollars spent on marketing strategies, and instead, SM Aesthetics will help you transition into making purchases based on proven research.
