When deciding between Over-the-counter products and Medical Strength Skin Care, it is important that you understand the difference in order to make the BEST choice for your skin.
This metaphor describes the difference perfectly:
"Painting a crumbling wall will not prevent the wall from crumbling."
OVER-THE-COUNTER PRODUCTS
Over-the-counter products are often ineffective because they are too oily or too creamy and block the pores. Blocked pores are damaging and can lead to other skin problems. Over-the-counter products have been reported as offering artificial smoothness and temporary hydration with benefits of quick anti-aging results but THEY DO NOT MAKE THE SKIN HEALTHY.
Healthy skin can be defined as:
- free from disease,
- hydrated,
- strong and smooth,
- tight and firm,
- with an even pigment / colour / tone.
In order to make the skin healthy, skin care needs to work at the cellular level to be truly effective.
MEDICAL STRENGTH SKIN CARE
Medical Strength Skin Care is designed to penetrate the skin to:
- activate the skin cells,
- improve the function of cells,
- improve the process of skin renewal,
- strengthen collagen and elastin fibres,
- balance pigmentation,
- reduce the signs of premature aging, and
- protect the skin from further damage.
MEDICAL STRENGTH SKIN CARE CANNOT BE PURCHASED OVER-THE-COUNTER. This range of skin care has a high potency of active ingedients therefore it is ESSENTIAL to have a thorough skin assessment to ensure your safety with these products and treatments.
