Skincare Misconceptions Can Be Harmful
Every woman has a different skin type and today, with thousands of skin care options available, it is hard to know how to best take care of your skin renewal needs. At the Advanced Skin Health center, located in ULTA beauty stores, consultants use special tools to test the hydration and sebum (oil) levels of the skin to recommend a customized skin care regimen.
"A common misconception among women is that oily skin equals hydrated skin," said Lynn Tisza of ULTA Inc. "This is not always the case. In most instances the skin produces oil because it is dehydrated and is fighting to lubricate in any way possible. Because of this confusion, women with oily skin often use products that dry out the skin when in actuality they should be applying products that help balance the skin."
Two complementary tests given at the Advanced Skin Health center take less than five minutes, are absolutely painless and help consultants learn customers' exact hydration and oil levels in order to suggest a personalized treatment plan.
