Skin care products and their ingredients work in three ways:
1. Chemically
2. Mechanically
3. Psychologically
All three modes are important to a product's effectiveness. Here's how and why:
Products work chemically as they undergo chemical reactions with and within the body, as when a healing agent reacts with an inflammation to reduce the pain or soothe the skin or when a cleanser reacts with dirt and oil to loosen their hold on the skin.
Skin products work mechanically as they coat the skin to trap moisture or develop heat from friction as they are rubbed onto the skin.
Products react psychologically as they make us feel better and provide a sense of well-being. Skin products are comfortable and soothing.
The psychological affects of skin products used should not be underestimated. Every time I purchase a new skin product and apply it to my skin I feel like I'm doing something healthy for myself-- physical and spiritual healing for my skin.
Do you agree? Have you ever felt that psychological effect when using a new skin care product? Please share your thoughts and experiences with me!
