As the weather is getting warmer and more humid, people often start neglecting to take care of their skin as much as they did in the wintertime. However, now it is more important than ever to continue with your skin care routine. Experts assert that your skin likes consistency, so when the weather changes, your skin will also have to adapt to its new environment. Janssen Cosmetics’ line of products for sensitive skin will ensure that your skin will stay soft and healthy no matter what season you are in!

People often associate spring with sneezes and sniffles from all the pollen in the air, but this pollen could also be affecting skin. These allergens create an increased amount of histamines in your blood flow, causing inflammation in your skin. Some ways to mitigate or avoid these issues include eating healthy and drinking lots of water, as this will give your body the necessary nutrients to manage these allergies. Furthermore, you could also change clothes frequently, especially after spending a day outside or shower at night before going to sleep to wash the allergens off of your body. Together with our Soft Soothing Tonic, these practices will ensure that your skin stays as healthy and moisturized. Not only does this alcohol-free face toner clarify and refresh your skin, but it also soothes any kind of irritation, including redness, swelling, and feelings of tightness, keeping you looking and feeling amazing!

There are also ways to protect yourself before you start your day. One great and simple way to ensure long-lasting protection on your skin throughout the day is by using our Intense Calming Cream. Not only does this product make your skin resistant to external irritants, but it also regenerates and strengthens your skin’s natural protective barrier. Additionally, this product will be effective all day long, so you won’t need to worry about reapplying throughout the day. Talk about a great bang for your buck!

If you live in an area with a lot of pollution, your skin could be paying the price for it. Exposure to pollution has been linked to the development of aging, eczema, psoriasis, acne, and even skin cancer. This is caused by free radicals that break down the skin’s barrier and smaller particles that get stuck in the skin’s pores. Adding the Anti-Pollution Cream to your regimen will help your skin stay healthy when faced with external irritants. This product reinforces your skin barrier and keeps it intact to prevent more pollutants from penetrating through. 

Overall, your skin doesn’t have to suffer just because of factors you can’t control. Being comfortable with your skin shouldn’t require over-the-top maintenance, nor does it have to clean out your pocket. The Soft Soothing Tonic, Intense Calming Cream, and Anti-Pollution Cream are only some of the products that Janssen Cosmetics offers for sensitive skin, but they are a great start for anyone looking to make headway in the health of their skin. With our line of products, we are confident that you will be happy with the results and more confident with your skin than ever before! 

There are those who prefer to purchase all of their cosmetic needs exclusively from dermatologists and renown aestheticians. Then there are some who would prefer to purchase what they need at drug or department stores at a fraction of the price. Whatever you may prefer, there is a broad difference between what standard cosmetics brands offer and what is deemed professional grade.

Wherever you shop, one can find an endless array of cosmetics to meet whatever need there is. Whether you are seeking a quick fix or something more beneficial for the skin, you can become a more savvy shopper by knowing these key differences in professional grade cosmetics and their standard counterparts so that you can look and feel your best.

Professional Grade Higher Standards

When it comes to seeking out the best skincare or makeup, ingredients reign supreme to give your skin the best. Since most skincare is worn all day long and night, it only makes sense that healthy, beneficial ingredients that feed the skin will provide vitality and nourish.  Professional grade products typically mean that the products are held to a higher standard and are typically found in your dermatologist office or spas. professional grade is unbeatable as more money is spent on research of ingredients, rather than marketing a name.

Natural ingredients, such as jojoba oils, vitamin C and minerals help to feed the skin while enabling it to breathe, unlike some products that are full of fillers that block pores and cause skin conditions such as blackheads and acne, as found in many standard products.. This is not to say that every professional grade skin care line out there is natural, as some only boast their name and won’t necessarily deliver as promised, but a good quality brand, such as our Janssen Cosmetics line, speaks for itself- sleek and simple, yet big on natural and dermatologically-tested ingredients that impart very effective results.

Pros and Cons of Standard Brands

Although professional grade cosmetics containing naturally-derived ingredients with scientifically backed research has its merits, there is something to be said about drugstore brands, especially for those on a budget or who don’t necessarily care for the  latest and greatest thing on the market. However, drugstore and department store  brands don’t always live up to their promise. For one, standard brands are typically market driven and will constantly change, depending on the latest and greatest trend.

While standard brands may look beautiful  in their packaging and smell wonderful, the benefits are sometimes few, lending very little results. These products also tend to contain ingredients that do not feed the skin, but are filled with artificial ingredients that act as fillers that may harm the skin. If you have sensitive skin, you may notice that standard products may irritate the skin.

Another drawback to standard cosmetics is their one-size-fits-all approach. Unlike a dermatologist or med spa esthetician who may examine your skin and make recommendations based on your needs, standard brands aren’t customizable. Asking a skincare consultant at a department store for advice, while useful, is not always as in-depth as something who can take a closer glance and offer products that will help with their own specific needs.

While professional grade cosmetics are typically pricier, the money goes further than with standard cosmetics. Not only are you paying for something that will help your skin further down  the road, but money well spent on professional grade products will actually spread further than paying for product after product, seeking out the one thing that will improve your skin. While both have their merits, it’s important to think long term if you want the skin of your dreams.
