Valentina Chistova, International Skin Care Expert

Skin care products, they’re everywhere! On the TV, Internet, and department store beauty counters. They promise beautiful skin for their devoted followers. But how do you really know if these products are working for you? How do you know which products are worthy and which are a waste?

There is so much confusion about which skin care products consumers actually need, because the average consumer does not know his or her skin type. They might think they have oily skin, because they become shiny at the end of the day, or maybe they think they have dry skin because their skin feels tight. All of these physical attributes could actually be symptoms of incorrect skin care and not actual determining factors to one’s specific skin type.

The real question is what does your skin need?

To understand your skin’s unique composition, schedule a consultation with a professionally trained skin care expert. A proper analysis of your skin’s natural balance of oil and water can help you determine which skin care products you need for your type.

Years of improper skin care can have devastating effects. The number one misuse of skin care products occurs from women who have oily skin. Oil is your skin’s natural method of hydration. However, because women don’t like a shiny appearance, they often use harsh products to strip the skin of its natural oils. What women are really doing is disrupting the proper balance of oil and water in their skin. Later on down the road, these same women suffer the symptoms of dry skin. Their skin has lots its natural moisture, and there is no cream that can replace your skin’s natural moisture. Symptoms can include a tightening feeling in the skin, deep and defined wrinkles and fine lines, flaking of the skin, grayish/dull discoloration of the skin.

Do you want a fast fix or a long-term solution to caring for your skin?

My goal is to help you perfect your skin care regimen while you still can. You can create a future radiance and glow for your skin by choosing the right products that work with your specific skin type. Did you ever see an older women whose skin looks so soft? Her wrinkles even look soft and faint, and she will have a rosy glow to her cheeks. This is a woman who has kept her skin’s natural balance of oil and water intact.

My grandmother used to always say to me, “Val if you don’t take care of your skin every night, your skin will grow 4 days older each time you neglect it.”

Valentina’s Solution

Go to a professional and get to know your skin type and what you need to maintain and protect your natural balance of oil and water. When you purchase your skin care products from the Internet, TV or department store counter, you are taking a gamble that the product will actually work against your desired results. Don’t take the advice of someone who is not a trained and licensed skin care expert. If you are interested in a product that you saw on the TV or in a store, seek the advice of a professional first, see if it’s right for your type. Then make your product purchases. A true professional will not persuade you to buy other products. If you are simply looking for advice, they should be open and honest with you.
