1 In 2 Skin Care Products Available Online Have Negative Effects On The Skin
Skin care is big businesses these days, with massive amounts of companies all competing for visibility and market share. The Internet has spawned many opportunities for smaller businesses to sell their goods as they can avoid having to pay large costs for things like shop fronts and transportation to different areas of distribution.The downside of this of course is that almost anyone can set up shop online and there is very little standard control, which goes some way to explain why Norwegian experts discovered that 50% of the online offering where actually bad for you.
A cross section of products were taken from across the net, which included a complete range of prices, ingredients, sources and consistencies. The total number of tested products came to 355. There were both facial care and also hand care products sampled, and they were all tested extensively on various types of skin and measured on their effectiveness, ease of use and side effects. There was also a control group who used no products at all.
The results were a little alarming and should be an eye opener for anyone looking to buy this type of product. Firstly the study found that around 70% of the products did not give any benefits to the user, and what is more, over 50% of the products had negative side effects. Among the harmful effects were burning, dryness, acne, and even hair loss.
One expected result that the study did show however was that the more expensive products had the most benefit to the skin. In fact the products that cost in the top 20% of the list all showed positive effects and had no side effects. The overruling advice from this research has to be to do your research and only buy the highest quality skin care products possible. Further more, only get you skin care products from places you can trust and who have been trading for a long time such as this London spa. Secondly, if you are new to using a certain product make sure you test on it on small area of skin on the arm first to see how it reacts, before you apply to the face or on large areas of skin.
