Introducing New Products to Your Skin

by Hanzky — Wednesday, March 26th, 2008 at 11:39 am

When we want to try new products, it is tempting to buy the whole set and start to use them at the same time. This practice is actually not recommended, it’s always better to introduce a new product one at a time and give it a few days before you start another product. This way, you give your skin time to adjust and get used to the product, and if breakouts, rashes, redness or itchiness occur, you can easily pinpoint the product/ingredient that causes the irritation. If you start the whole set at a same time and breakouts occur, you would just assume that your skin doesn’t tolerate that particular brand while it’s probably only the toner, or the cleanser that your skin is sensitive to. But since you can’t find out which one that gives you the irritation, you would just throw everything away and move on to another brand. Not only you have wasted the money, you have probably missed out on a great moisturizer or a night cream from that set that could be your holy grail.

setuju banget han. dulu waktu gue lepas dari skincare dokter kulit juga bertahap. gue ganti dari yang paling ga penting dulu, kayak bedaknya, terus vitamin c nya…sampe akhirnya semua ganti ke skincare baru kalo sekaligus semuanya, kulitnya bisa kaget :p

This might happen to me someday or even had happened without me realizing it. It just happens that I have the habit of using more than two new products. Usually it was during those sale seasons when your favorite stores had sales going on, one store after another and you couldn’t help stocking up. There went something could’ve gone horribly wrong. Thank God, so far I haven’t happened to me but yes I should be more careful next time

cheap chic mom: yak betul, it usually happens during sale seasons, or whenever I see some good deals on Estee Lauder or Elizabeth Arden skin care at Marshalls…hihihi

mir@cle: kayanya ngelepas skin care dokter kulit tuh lebih susah yah, somehow gue ngerasanya bikin kulit gue lebih ketergantungan sama obat obatannya deh…
