New Face Products!

I’ve tried a few face products in the last few months, and it’s got me thinking about our attitudes to new products. Here are a few things I’ve learnt:

1) Your face doesn’t need to “get used” to a product. If you start using it and you get spots, dry skin, a rash, or it just doesn’t do anything beneficial after about 3 days, give up on it.

2) Your skin doesn’t exactly become immune to products, but you may realise after a few months a product that used to work really well has started to plateau! What you need to do is just buy a really cheap version of that product (e.e. if it's a cleanser, get a £1 cleanser) and use it for a couple of days, and then go back to your old one, which should work good as new.

3) Things don’t “get worse before they get better”. A lot of people buy scrubs and things for spots and break out, and then decide that’s what happens and eventually the product will work. Refer to point 1).

4) Your skin changes, so if you’re stuck in a routine with the same product you had when you were 15, that you’re not sure what it does to your skin, then maybe go without for a couple of days and see what your skin does. You may already be using what’s best for you, but if your skin isn’t at it’s best then maybe it’s time to re-asses.
