Don't Buy Expensive Cleansers! Money down the Drain (Literally!)




  Expensive Cleansers that cost $20 or higher are really such a waste of money, and as I mentioned in my title is truly money going down the drain. The actives in certain cleansers such alpha hydroxy acids/beta hydroxy acids or other touted ingredients from the formula don't remain on the skin long enough to make a difference or take into effect. However, an ingredient such as Salicylic Acid purpose of as an antibacterial in a cleanser can be helpful though in cleanser. The purpose of "cleanser" is just to simply cleanse and balance your pH level. Spend more money on your products that are leave-on products, such your essences, serum, & moisturizers. Those are the most important, they have contain the most benefits for your skin & stay on to repair & treat your skin. Having consistency with your skin is also the golden key for healthy skin & results!

Yours truly always,

Exosomes & Growth Factors: Regenerative Ingredients

      Exosomes are nano-sized extracellular vesicles that have regenerative properties when it comes to skin including many "anti-aging" benefits. They may help with loss of firmness, lines/wrinkles, skin texture, reducing inflammation, hyperpigmentation, helps skin heal faster post-procedure, wound healing, and acne even as part of the multitude of benefits. They are considered the delivery system for the other active ingredients to assist with as part of their formulation. They are cell-communicating ingredients which in tells the other cells to "behave" and repair the skin & damaged cells more accordingly, to promote more collagen & elastin production.     In essence, their genetic makeup is a mixture of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. They are able to transport growth factors, hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants to penetrate better into the skin. Whether being coupled with in an-office treatment such as in injectables, lasers, or micro...

Facial Oils: Are They Worth It?

     Facial Oils seem to be a trendy step in a skincare routine as of lately. They are beneficial for someone who's of a more drier skin type. Some facial oils are filled with antioxidants, fatty acids and other nutrients. However, if you're acne-prone, I wouldn't recommend facial oils even if they're suggested as "non-comedogenic" since there is still no telling if you'll still develop clogged pores from which ever formula that may be. They're meant to coat, protect & lubricate the epidermis (outer most top layer of skin), it's meant to stay & hydrate on the skin's surface with also penetrating the top surface. Leaving it silky, smooth, & soft. There are also some problematic botanical oils that can cause a reaction, something to be cautious about. As well as stay away from essential oils! They are a main culprit to adding a sensitized barrier and a pretty significant amount to a possibility of a reaction (as in a rash, redness, et...

Not Being Able To Justify Highly-Priced Skincare

  Unfortunately, I cannot justify spending over upwards to $200-$300+ on a skincare product, whether it being on a moisturizer, serum, essence, etc. granted, there are both good & bad formulated products on both ends of the spectrum. I just don't find it entirely necessary to do so. There are very well-formulated products that can meet a person's concerns/needs at your own budget & what you are willing to spend. Really an unnecessary amount to spend when certain brands with more affordable price points have incredible research & development teams when creating some of your favorite products. I thoroughly love & enjoy learning about the skincare science though. 🧑‍🔬✨️✍️ Yours truly always, Mr. Skin Care Guru
