Why You Should Be Using Professional Grade OVER Over-The-Counter Products

After a facial or treatment, your skin is sure to be glowing, plump and radiant. But it’s just as important to nourish and treat your skin at home as it is to receive regular facials from a professional. And while you think you may be giving your skin what it needs with department store or drugstore products, the truth is that you should be using professional grade products to prolong the benefits of your facial and maintain all of the great results your treatments give you.

Professional grade products work differently than anything you can buy from even the most high-end counter at the department store. Generally, the products that are carried on the market have about 4% active ingredients, the rest of the product, whether it’s a serum or a cream, is just fillers, water, preservatives and fragrance. And while you may be getting visible results from something you find from a designer beauty brand, the fact is that it’s only working on the surface of your skin and most results are just cosmetic – products can trick the eye with special light-reflecting ingredients to blur wrinkles or cause minor inflammation so that your skin looks temporarily full. Professional grade products, like the ones offered at Beauty Journey, contain 90% active ingredients, giving your skin what it really needs to look its best. While most products work on just the surface of the skin, professional grade products penetrate deeper, right into the dermis, where skin problems form. By working under the surface, professional grade products can prevent, reverse and correct existing skin issues and work to prevent any problems from developing. Professional grade products also have more elegant formulations that feel better on your skin and more sophisticated ingredients with proven results.
