Are Expensive Skin Creams Worth It?
Buying
“budget” skincare is something a lot of mums do, because we want to
make savings on our outgoings, but buying cheap could cost us more in the long-run.
My cupboards are stuffed full of half-used lotions and potions which haven’t quite lived up to their own promises and I dread to think how much they all cost combined.
You may look at certain price tags and grimace at the
idea of spending so much like I do, but I’ve had a chat with Pure Beauty to find out whether expensive creams really are worth it or not.

Quality
When it comes to skincare, the
old adage “you get what you pay for” is definitely true.
Some budget options
may claim to contain premium ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid or essential oils, but they’ll often contain the
very bare minimum to keep costs down, making them far less potent in the long
run.

Formulation
Skincare companies which chargehigher prices will often have put a lot more work into the formulation of their
products.
Budget options will often use cheaper alternatives to certain
ingredients, or omit them altogether, which means that they won’t be as
effective, absorb as well or last as long.
More expensive brands also have more
money to pour into the development of their products, which means that new and
innovative products such as micellar oils and waters will be available.
Proof
One of the benefits of usinghigher-priced products is that the companies have more budget to research and
develop their products, which will allow you to use them with full peace of
mind.
For instance, the people at Decleor are well aware of how difficult it can
be to find suitable products during pregnancy, so ALL Decleor Perfect Sculpt products have been
extensively tested both in-vitro and ex-vitro and have the full approval of
gynaecologists after rigorous trials on pregnant women.
This means that you can
still enjoy a full beauty regime without having to worry about negative effects
of ingredients which could harm you or your baby.
