When it comes to a skincare routine, people can be divided into two main categories - those who think that only professional procedures work, as well as those who prefer home beauty routines. But who’s right? In this article, we will take a look at both types and try to give you the answer. So without any further ado, let us begin.
Professional Beauty Procedures
First things first, we would like to point out that there are many professional beauty procedures, but here we are talking about skincare treatments such as face masks and other non-invasive procedures. So are they good? Do they work? Let’s talk about those in more detail.
Certainly, a lot of skin treatments you can have at an esthetician are rather useful for your skin in terms of nourishing and moisturizing it, so there is a point in having those. At the same time, you need to understand that professional procedures alone are surely not enough to slow down the aging process. In fact, most non-invasive treatments do not provide a drastic and, most importantly, lasting effect, so to maintain your skin’s well-being, you have to use daily skincare. Moreover, your daily skincare products have to fit your skin type as well as contain the ingredients that have been scientifically proven to work. Today, we have only two of these ingredients, which are retinoids and vitamin C.
Speaking about retinoids and vitamin C, when you have professional skincare treatments done, it’s best to choose the very treatments that contain these active ingredients. Otherwise, you will just spend a lot of money on treatments that will moisturize your skin for only a few hours.
Professional Procedures Pros and Cons
Certainly, having professional skin treatments has both pros and cons, so let us take a brief look at those.
Pros:
- It moisturizes and nourishes skin
- It is a great addition to your daily skincare routine that will help you slow down aging
- It often includes face massage, which many people find relaxing
Cons:
- It is expensive
- It doesn't provide stunning results
As you can see, professional treatments have enough pros and cons, so make sure to consider them all before making your final decision.
