Afraid of Commitment? Don't Be!

With Valentine's Day just around the corner and relationships are on our mind, how about thinking about the relationship you have with your skincare products? Sounds kind of strange, right? But proper and effective skin care can only be achieved if you are in it for the long haul-- you must be committed to your brand, routine and products!

Get to know them, spend time with them and never start using other brands or products in the early stages. We weren't kidding- starting with a skincare regime is just like starting a long term relationship!

Dr. Rucker states, "Good skincare requires commitment to both a regime and a product line. There's an advantage of staying true to your brand. The best products work synergistically so you get more out of standardizing on a brand you trust." If you don't give your products time to show their impact, you'll be limiting your skin's ability to show improvement and it will be difficult to tell what has really worked and what hasn't. Committing to a product for at least 4-6 weeks is crucial in seeing results. 

While you're trying to figure out what works best for you, remember, stick with it! Don't lose hope on your skincare after a few days or weeks. Hang in there and you will see the results!
