Question: Do you buy cheap, inferior skincare products due to price? Question: How to get top quality, luxury skin care products for free*
The skin care market is a multi billion dollar business feeding an increasing population of people, mainly ladies, who are in search of the holy grail of younger looking skin. I only say ladies here, as they do make up the vast majority of customers of skin care items worldwide, although with the advent of the metro sexual male, sales to guys are increasing leading to manufacturers to offer male specific skin care. It's no longer acceptable for hubby to sneak into the bathroom under the cover of darkness and apply his wife's moisturizer just so he could look a little younger.
But overall, the skin care market is still a female dominated domain. Just turn your own tv on at 2am in the morning and you'll be bombarded with skincare infomercials on several channels almost all offering the elixir of youth, a solution to aging wrinkles or the right way to eliminate blemishes brought on by the harsh environment.
What shocks me though in viewing these 'educational' programs, is the fact that intelligent and somewhat cynical viewer amorously believes the 'Victoria Secret' looking presenter along with credit card in hand, is rushing to the telephone to place a purchase when the commercial finishes. And it's 2am each morning!
What beggars believe is that within the last fifty years women have an increasing appetite for anything new that will fix the problem of looking younger. And even more alarming is simply because they will pay any price. And I mean virtually any cost. It is $455 for a jar of goo to use on the face to 'reduce' aging lines. Then there is the tube of gel to get rid of puffiness around the eyes. And so on. And there is no real proof that the stuff works in spite of the 'clinical tests' sprouted on the commercial.
I never truly understood just how much skincare and even make up my wife has until we went away for the weekend on the beach recently. Not just did we have a few suitcases, but my wife likewise took a different make up case. And I mean a case. It was similar to a little suitcase. It was when we unpacked did I get the real essence of exactly what was enclosed within this mini suitcase. She had skincare products, make-up as well as hair care products within the hotel bathroom, on the bedside tables, around the dining table as well as on the lounge side tables. And we were only going away for the weekend break!
There was a 'small countries' fortune spread all through our hotel room through products to make my wife look younger, smell better, have clean, shiner, bouncy hair and also to protect her from the harsh sun. Today I appreciate her commitment to making herself look younger (and I think it's for my benefit also - but she doesn't require it) yet I'm sure we will save a whole family of starving children in Africa for 1 year.
Today I don't question just how my wife usually spends her cash. She earned it and it's up to her just how she spends it. Everyone should be allowed to treat themselves as well. But when I bravely approached the subject of 'how much did all that stuff cost?', I got a fairly shock. My wife told me.
"Yes skin care, hair care or perhaps cosmetics generally are costly."
"High quality, luxury, eco-friendly products are even more so"
"But she, along with some other permissive women, have found a means to switch brands, save 40% as compared to other luxury brands And have the taxman to pay for them"
"So darling" she said "I get all this for essentially nothing"
