How To Be A Skin Care Failure
Extensive scientific analysis of patients' facial skin over the last decade reveals what many would instinctively realize given pause for thought — that barely any individuals possess skin of notably above average quality for age and background, even where extensive skincare and treatment has been followed for many years prior.
Yet somewhere between 70—90% of skin aging is technically optional and common skin complaints — including acne, hyperpigmentation and visibly open pores — are imminently treatable.
Despite the potential latent within best-practice treatments, the almost total lack of efficiency for individuals' irreplaceable skins supports a global marketplace with a value in excess of $200 billion US dollars, disposing of approximately 25 billion containers each year, much of it in tiny, futile samples, and fostering skin care practices which set in train life-long prematurely and irreversibly aging idiocy.
Patients need to experience sound skin care tailored to individual characteristics by objective, scientific measurement before all else — not brands and beauty therapy, but tools and precise protocols — and to stop inventing placatory, nonsensical theories about their skin care.
Almost all skin care misfortunes arise from false ideas about what individuals believe about their skins and about what they purport is happening when they use brands and products.
If skin care is complicated by an aging crisis or irrational fears, the likelihood of an absurd treatment being commenced is virtually assured.
There are no miracles or silver-bullet solutions to aging and other cosmetic complaints, only the truth, which with time is quickly and inevitably etched on the face for better (wiser and healthier) or worse.
The points below chronicle some of the primary reasons why masses of women, and increasing numbers of men, are "skin care failures" in the cosmetic, dermatological sense of this coined term.
