Hitting the buy button without being able to try a product is risky business, especially when the product is a high investment. Let this guide help you to make sure you are spending on the right formulas for your skin.

Often hitting the buy button without being able to try a product is risky business, especially when the product is highly invested. Let this guide help you to make sure you are spending on the right formulas for your skin because nothing is important to save your product.

1. WHAT YOUR SKIN TYPE

Nothing is worse than buying a skincare product without even having the right information and buying because it is on sale or because your favourite social media influencer or celebrity says “It’s perfect”. The stark fact is, that is just a strategy of selling the brand through represented by other influencers. While shopping makeup online for skincare, allows you to make mistakes when experimenting with new products, that’s not the case for skincare. With makeup, you do need to be careful and ensure it suits your skin type, but apart from that, any disappointment will come in the form of a product not delivering on its claims in terms of usefulness.

On the flip side, the wrong skincare products can instantly damage your skin barrier and make your skin more complicated than before. If you have not been able to identify your skin type, you can reach out to a dermatologist for an online consultation. A lot of dermatologists have taken to consultations via video calls. Take advantage of that option and get to know your skin type as early as possible.

2. FIRST COMPREHEND THEN SHOP

Before digging into the research of products, especially, when it is about skincare. Where you get your skincare knowledge from, is key. Similarly, you would research makeup products before investing in them. Now, what you need to do is take the time out to buy the “right” product online and read reviews of the best products for your skin type and concerns. Read reviews of the best products for your skin type. Read credible skincare blogs, consider editor and dermatologist suggestions and even go on YouTube and Instagram, there is more to tell you. Most importantly, stay away from marketing gimmicks. Not all sponsored posts on Instagram may be inauthentic

3. RESEARCH SMARTLY

In the world of e-commerce, you have to choose the right platform and be very specific in your search. For instance, if you are looking for a gel-based moisturiser, head over to the subcategory where you can find ‘get moisturiser in the search bar and then go on to filter by selecting your skin type. Your research must identify what you want to buy, then spot new options in your search list and you go further then find the best product for your needs and budget.

4. Get the best deals and offers across the web

Narrowed down to what you want to buy? Great. Now enter that product name on Google and take a look at the e-commerce options that come your way. Compare prices across platforms to see where you get the best one and factor in shipping costs as well. If a particular online store has an offer with freebies, consider this too. Only shop from credible and trustworthy websites, stay away from unauthorised resellers and let’s be honest if an unverified seller is trying to sell a product to you at an unbelievably low price, there’s probably a catch. Don’t compromise on your investment for the health of your skin.

5. Spend less. Save more.

Your entire skincare kit need not be made of luxurious products; you can always consider your requirements and decide what you would rather splurge on. If your skin tends to be extremely congested, a heavy-duty, deep-cleaning face mask is of prime importance to you. If you have dry, parched skin, an intensely hydrating moisturiser is at the top of your list of needs. Prioritise what your skin wants and needs and spend on those products accordingly.
