First of all, I wanna tell you about this crazy-compulsive cosmetics shopping that you probably experienced before.  How many brands have you seen online? Or bought products recommended from friends and unqualified influencers? How many times did you look on your product’s ingredients?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it gets you more confused! Working on a much customized skincare regimen only for your skin type, concerns and goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my experience, I have never seen a brand that promises everything for you and be 100 % effective. I mean, I love skin care – both cosmetics and cosmeceuticals. I have seen great results from both of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secret <\/em>is to learn how to combine different ingredients that create a synergy between correction, hydration, prevention and maintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By all means, I’ll never stay loyal to only one skincare company \u2013 no matter if it\u2019s a cosmetic or cosmeceutical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cosmetics<\/a>
Cosmetic vs Cosmeceutical<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

WHAT ARE COSMETICS?<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Scientifically, they are only for beautifying purposes. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their ingredients only penetrate superficially and they don’t pass the dermal-epidermal junction.<\/em><\/strong> So yes, they will make your skin feel soft and comfortable only when you apply them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great news! Cosmetics work well when applied on good condition it also cleans, protects, and moisturizes – basically it may change the appearance of the skin but without modifying it at a cellular level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosmetics may contain active ingredients in a low percentage or concentration. Or may use other chemical compounds called derivates. These derivates can be in higher percentages but low concentrations (and vice versa). These ingredients are under the legal regulations required for pharmaceuticals<\/strong> (so goes below them)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you see that they are DERMATOLOGICALLY TESTED<\/strong>, is because they MUST be<\/strong>! Otherwise, they’re not approved for consumption. There is a lot of marketing going on over there so don’t see it as a benefit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
