The Importance of Skin Analysis

A skin analysis is vital before purchasing skin care products. Why you may ask? First of all with the thousands of products on the market, various ingredients, and level of active ingredients that make a product more or less result oriented, you will want know your skin type & condition before investing money in a skin care line. In addition, the weight of a product is also a factor when choosing products for your skin type. A product that is to heavy for your skin not only could clog your pores but weigh your skin down and cause premature sagging! Exactly what we try to avoid.

So, what is a skin analysis anyway? Glad you asked. A skin analysis is when a professional skin care therapist also known as an Aesthetician consults with you, looks at your skin under what is called a mag lamp (or magnifying lamp), and asks you a series of questions about your skin and diet habits. Then the experienced licensed professional will determine your skin type, any skin conditions, and develop a skin care regimen that is perfect for you. I stress licensed professional since any random person can represent a skin care company and sell skin care products without any formal training. Non-licensed individuals are trained by a company that has hired them to SELL you products. An Aesthetician is formally trained and actually knows the anatomy, physiology, and histology of the skin. With her formal education she will recommend products that are best for you. In addition, she will recommended a skin care regimen that is either corrective, preventative, maintenance, or the combination. It will just depend on what is going on with your skin.

Believe it or not, skin analysis now can be found online! An online skin analysis is slightly different than one done in person. You get to skip the scary mag lamp that every one hates to be seen under. An online analysis will consist of you answering a series of questions about your skin, skin care habits, and diet. Then a regimen will be recommended based on your answers. If the Aesthetician has further questions about your skin she will contact you through email. Once your analysis is complete she will email you will receive your results and product recommendations. Now that's service!

A skin analysis will prevent you from making huge purchasing mistakes! With a skin analysis you will purchase products that are meant for your skin type, condition, and that will produce results. Wow, finally the end to the perpetually skin care product search! And no more disappointment! Like disappointment you've experienced with all the products that have joined the ranks under the dark damp sink! It is worth your time to check into a skin analysis and worth your money to invest in products that are right for you.



Don't be discouraged if you just purchased a whole new skin care line that has promised to make you would look 10 years younger before reading this blogticle. You can either take it back or give it to a friend or family member. Make a mad rush to get a skin analysis and invest in a professionally recommended skin care line. Shh...I won't tell any one. :)

Tomorrow I will discuss why choosing professional products over a brand name over the counter product is smarter and more cost effective.
