Skincare Fads
When it comes to the health and beauty industry there is always someone trying to make a splash with a new product or a new technique. Some are good and some are…not so good. When we have a problem we often depend on immediate solutions. So if someone is vouching for a product that supposedly helps your skin in whatever you way you desire it to, then we’ll probably lean towards it without doing as much research.
