One of
the first things I was taught in Beauty School (where I went in my early 30s in
1997) was that at that time, just in the United States alone, the skincare
industry boasted $3.2 Billion in sales annually. The reason stated? "It’s incredibly easy to sell
moisturizer." I’m not kidding, that’s
really what they said. Frankly, I think
it’s extremely impressive. Everyone
needs moisturizer. There’s a reason
there are so many out there to choose from.
Like I always say, “Everything works for somebody, nothing works for
everybody.”
My job in specializing in Adult Acne is to make sure my clients are getting
adequate healing and hydration in their lotions while avoiding pore clogging
and irritation. In addition, my job especially is to make sure they’re
getting anti-aging concerns taken care of without clogging pores and causing
breakouts unnecessarily. Prevention is a big
part of anti-aging consciousness these days, and it comes up a lot in my
practice.
So what
about eye cream for prevention?
Gimmick,
or necessity?
