What’s the Difference?• Choosing the right skin care

regimen for your needs can feel like a difficult task• Store products and do-it-yourself

trends are both growing in popularity• What’s the difference? And which

is the right choice for you?• Use this guide to measure the

which could be the right skin solution for you!

Do-It-Yourself Products• Homemade or DIY skin care recipes

give you the comfort to know exactly what you’re putting on your skin

• You have the freedom to change the ingredients whenever you want to, something that can’t be done with most over the counter products

• It is also easier to ensure you’ll have more natural ingredients in your products

• There’s no room for confusion about any mystery chemicals in your soaps, lotions, or scrubs because you control what goes in and out of you recipes.

The DIY Downside…• It can be difficult and expensive to

find all the necessary ingredients to completely and effectively treat a skin issue.

• Also, the time and preparation it takes to make certain products might be inconvenient for someone who would want immediate access to their creations. • For example, homemade soap can take

anywhere from three to six weeks to fully cure before it’s safe for use

• Infusing oils may take four to six hours• lotion can take up to an hour to prepare

depending on your ingredients.

Over the Counter• Immediately ready for use• There is ease and plenty of variety to

try different products that have been researched and tested for safety and effectiveness that won’t strain your wallet.

• If product works for you and you want to stock up, it’s as simple as going to your nearest beauty store.

• Likewise, if something doesn’t work for you, it is easy to research a different product and purchase it rather than going through the hassle of writing, preparing and making a brand new recipe.
