Are you unsure on where to start with skincare, unsure on what to use or how to use it? Or do you just need a little advice? We want to help you realise the importance of a professional & personalised skincare routine and how it can change your life!

Why do I need a skin consultation? 

Skin consultations help us understand things such as your everyday lifestyle or medical conditions all of which can affect your skin and what you may need to achieve your balanced complexion. We will also assess your skin, discuss your current skincare routine and skincare/treatment options we have to offer which will benefit you. 

It’s vital to be using the correct skincare for your skin type / condition. Using products that do not suit your skin type can in fact make your skin a lot worse! 

We will guide you through what products to use, how to use them and review your skin after a couple of weeks. 

Why not use what everybody else uses? 

Unfortunately, the “latest trends” can be dangerous if used incorrectly or not suitable for you. Don’t believe that the new best thing will be what you need to see the results you desire. 

Drugstore VS Professional skincare

Drugstore skincare

When you walk into a drug store, you pick up something you’ve seen recommended online, or what looks good, or what is being advertised. Drugstore skincare is cheap for a reason! It simply will not give you your expected results. There are a lot more risks with damaging your skin when using drugstore products that are too strong for your skin or the incorrect product. For example, picking up a retinol from a drugstore, there’s no guidance on what strength you should use, if there is even multiple strength available that is! This can lead to irritation, skin purging, infections and much more!  Most of the time, drugstore products do not go through the extensive trials and testing that professional medical products do. 

Professional skin care 

Professional skin care is designed by leading doctors and medical professionals to provide you with the best product possible for your skin, with no side effects. 

Professional skin care is designed with you in mind! Leaving your skin feeling refreshed and looking beautiful. 

Benefits of using professional skincare: 

• Products to suit your skin type / condition 
• Tailored skincare routines 
• Prescription skincare (if needed)
• Rejuvenates skin 
• Restores lost collagen 
• Evens out skin's complexion 
• Eliminates fine lines and wrinkles 

Why should you use professional skincare? 

After the age of 20, collagen production declines every year by 1% in our skin. Not only that, but the thickness also decreases 7% every 10 years. Your body completely stops producing collagen as rapidly as it used to by the age of 30, and it stops producing one type of collagen completely. With professional skin care, you can maintain a healthy skin care regimen and target any concerns you may have. 

Not only do regular visits to The Hereford Cosmetics Clinic help, but having a skin care regimen full of important vitamins, antioxidants, and other unique products will help you in the right direction!
