The world of skincare is tough to navigate. What’s your skin type? Is it dry? Oily? Do you have sensitive skin or combination skin? It’s a lot. If you are not an aesthetician, how can you be sure? These are just standard questions for affordable skincare. Luxury skincare feels like a whole new conversation.
Is it worth the price tag?
What makes luxury skincare…well luxury? Is it a great buying experience? Is it lavish packaging? It’s easy to come across a high-end product and feel like the price is a full blown insult. So how do we justify the purchase?
Many luxury skin care brands rely on the use of the best ingredients along with scientific research. They focus on quality ingredients that will sink into the skin for optimum results. Luxury brands, in general, rely on an established loyal clientele. Their goal is to have us come back and repurchase their ridiculously priced serums and face creams. And we do.
The fact is that not all expensive brands are worth the hype or the price tag. However, when they hit, they hit! Some are whole heartedly worth every penny. Well…maybe not every penny, but most of the pennies. I have tried and splurged on my fair share of high-priced skincare. The only sane justification for the price of luxury skincare is in the results!
I have listed my favorites in no particular order. My tried and trues. My ride or dies. Products that I continuously repurchased and products that have had great reviews and feedback. Full disclaimer, I have dry to combination skin that leans closer to the dry side. I said it was complicated. The goal here is to help you avoid blowing a ton of money trying to figure out what works and what’s just fancy packaging.
