Why Your Skin Care Should Include Free Consultations

All skin is created equal. It’s design and functions are the same for everyone. However, outside factors and circumstances such as aging, other conditions such as environment and medication for example, and overall health can cause changes in your skin.

Many retailers and skin care brands offer free consultations to help you assess and address your needs. Obviously, they have an interest in recommending their products and services, but you can still more than benefit from their experienced advice. You always have the option of consulting a dermatologist too.

If nothing else, they can give you the basics of everyday healthy skin care best suited for you. Navigating all the different products and methods can be overwhelming, so why not consult a professional?

Knowledge

Consultations are a great place to start if you need information. Even if you don’t necessarily take the advice given, skin care consultations should give you a good basic knowledge about your skin’s health needs for you to help you make an informed decision or enable you to seek additional information.

More than anything, a consultation is an opportunity to ask questions and explore your options. It’s important to understand the wide breadth to skin care. It shouldn’t be complicated and regular maintenance is key, but you should still know what’s out there for yourself.

When it comes to skin care knowledge, the key is to understand the 3 basics of skin care:

  1. How your skin works,
  2. How the products work with your skin’s natural functions, and
  3. How the routine or system will work with the products used and your skin’s natural functions.

And the 3 basic processes of a great skin care routine:

  1. Cleanse (includes gentle daily exfoliation),
  2. Nourish, and
  3. Protect your skin (protection is just not about sunscreen).

Changes

As you know, your skin’s appearance can change over time in the subtlest of ways. Aging, bad habits, health and life concerns like menopause can slowly but surely change the balance of your skin. A skin care professional can also give your skin a proper diagnosis if you’re battling persistent skin issues. It can often be hard to track and monitor these changes on your own. Past advice or previous consultations may not still hold true as time can change things. With a few adjustments, if needed, a great skin care routine and products will help your skin resist the unwanted changes that occur with time.

Results

It’s important to share your skin concerns and have them addressed by an experienced expert whenever possible. Then you can make a plan and better inform yourself about the different options for your needs. All of this can put your skin history and progress moving forward into a sensible context to measure, track, and follow the results of any skin care routine you choose.

Many of us can be frustrated by our hard work or research going all for naught. If you are consistently not happy with your skin care results despite hard work and resources, you might be missing something or doing it wrong. A consultation and relaying your skin care history may be able to solve your problem and lead you to the results you want. Taking photos of your skin without make up from time to time will also help you keep a good record of your skin’s well-being over time and can help in making your skin care consultations more meaningful.

Perspective

Consultations require a professional to examine your skin and provide further information or recommendations based on what they see alongside your history. This can be very helpful in letting you learn more about your skin and what you should doing to achieve healthy, glowing skin.

Before you start any new product, a clear perspective from a professional can save you a lot of hustle. A professional can analyze what products you are already using or are thinking of using to make sure they are working with your skin and not against it.

Empowerment

Ultimately, free consultations from skin care or other healthcare professionals can provide you with greater overall view of what’s best for you and your skin. You may sometimes feel overwhelmed by the wealth of often conflicting information out there and may even put your trust in the wrong sources, but it’s essential to be informed.

Consultations should give you the necessary knowledge to distill what your needs are. These information sessions are effective when they are used as tools to empower yourself so you can best proceed. Don’t feel overwhelmed or pressured. Take control of your skin’s health.

More (quality) information is always better, provided you know what to do with it. Take your skin care into your hands by discussing it with experienced professionals. Everyone’s goal should be to make sure you are on your way to having healthier, more beautiful skin. Free skin care consultations can and should be a part of that.

It’s important to figure out how to achieve your ideal skin care balance to ensure better skin. Most likely depending on your skin history, they will recommend a regular, daily skin care regimen that involves the basic tenets we’ve discussed previously.
