If you love getting beauty treatments and facials once in a while you might have noticed that your skin looks and feels better than it does whenever you try and give yourself a facial. So what’s the difference between the regular drugstore brands that we use most of the time and the more expensive professional skin care product that is used in the beauty salons? Well a lot of it has to do with the ingredients that are used. not so much in terms of what is in the products but how much of it.
Concentration
The concentration of ingredients in a drugstore brand and a professional skin care line varies to a point that the results you are supposed to see appear much sooner when using the latter products. Drugstore brands are available cheaply because they have a lower concentration of the ingredients needed to make your skin look great.
On the other side of the spectrum professional skin care product has a high enough concentration of ingredients that your skin will show results within a short span of time. all you need to do to see the difference between a drugstore beauty product and a professional skin care product is to look at the list of ingredients.
The list of ingredients is listed in the order of concentration. This means that the ingredients at the top of the list are the ones that are the most concentrated. If you find that the magic ingredients meant to work wonders on your skin are listed at the bottom then you know that this product has a low concentration of the important ingredients.
A professional skin care product will usually have important ingredients at the top of the list of ingredients. This is why you will see results so quickly as opposed to when you use a drugstore brand. On the plus side you will probably only need to use very little of the cream, cleanser, or moisturizer that you have bought instead of slathering it on.
If you cannot afford more than one professional skin care product then use one that you really need and look for higher end mass marketed cosmetics for the rest of your beauty needs. The higher end cosmetics and beauty products that you find in department stores will usually have a higher concentration than those found in a drugstore.
While there is a difference between the two types of cosmetics it really depends on you and how much you are willing to invest. If you believe you really need a professional skin care product then go for it.
