Skincare products and practices today exist in a 1980’s museum of skin biology. Despite amazing discoveries in life sciences since then, little has changed in the industry. The industry is a collection of marketers that provides an array of very similar products which are often addictive, inflammatory and accelerate skin aging.
As a consumer, you can do better and according to the latest numbers, over 70% of you are seriously dissatisfied with your skincare choices.
The topics discussed address what really happens in the world of skincare and are not intended to embarrass or malign any one person, or institution. But facts are facts.
Start with INTRODUCTION: SKIN, SKINCARE, SKINCARE ADDICTION. That just might challenge everything you’ve heard about skincare.
