SPECIALTY ACTIVES: Introduction

Specialty Actives have a variety of applications and skin targets. These products usually have multiple metabolites, or a very specific application.

The product formulas have been developed in the clinic, with thousands of end-users, many of them skincare professionals with most products over five and often ten years in the works. They generate visible results and are a great value.

Unlike other skincare marketers, 302 Skincare brings you into the game as an observer and a participant. We make suggestions to you based on our experience. Your regimen is not determined by instructions on a label. You observe and adjust. We can teach you this process.

The biggest single problem in skincare is product saturation of the skin. Too many products or, too often applied, and often both. We discuss the ins and outs at our REFERENCE TOPICS. It is worth a read through.

Your goal is to keep the skin alert, surprised even. Over frequent application of products dulls the skin and even leads to addiction. Most of you have had the experience of applying a product that initially seemed to be worthwhile, only to have the results fall back by month’s end. Vitamin C is well known for this phenomena.

Choose your actives carefully, rotate through them, limit the totality of what you put on and the frequency. Your skin is like a houseplant – over water or over feed it and you will see an unhealthy result.

If you follow the guidelines, observe and adjust, your daily cost of skincare will decrease and your visible results will be outstanding.
