FaceWorkshops Club Forum: Members’ Hints & Tips

Please bring our attention to anything interesting in terms of skincare – news, blogs, websites, radio programmes, etc.

 

What Differentiates the FaceWorkshops Club

The FaceWorkshops Club is different from other beauty communities.

•  FOCUS. We are a skincare club, focused on facial skincare products that deliver visible results. Our members share, comment and contribute to the forum discussion. 
  

• EXPERTISE. I understand your skin type and recommend only products with a good efficacy. My recommendations are based either on a) product literature substantiated with clinical data and/or b) detailed analysis of product ingredients.
• INDEPENDENCE. My recommendations are not aligned to any commercial brands.

Getting Skincare Samples

…at the beauty counters is becoming more and more difficult in the current climate but it is a vital part of testing skincare. Trying a tester in the shop is not enough.

Whilst building a direct relationship with interesting skincare brands, the Faceworkshops Club will be also – from time to time – directing our members to beauty box subscriptions, particularly the last of these schemes.

There are four paid sample schemes in the UK that are worth looking at. They all claim to give you access to the best beauty brands and save your money when purchasing full-size products. And there is an excitement about the anticipation of a new collection landing on your doorstep. These schemes are about being able to pamper, play and preen to your heart’s content; in the comfort of your own home, in your own time and discovering what you like and what you don’t like.

Great Beauty Blogs

The differentiating point of my blog is the science and serious approach to skincare. However, if you would like to read something a little lighter, there are some great beauty blogs.  However, please note that all of the bloggers are fairly young and don’t have any formal education in skincare – they express their personal opinions.

The FaceWorkshops Club: New Product Launches

 

The FaceWorkshops Club For women interested in looking after their skin in the best way they can.  As a member, you will be given samples to test new skincare at home and give me feedback. I will also ask you to participate in a small Focus Group twice a year with instrumental measurement of results achieved. There is a membership fee of £20. The club is complimentary for my regular clients, by regular I mean clients I see at least every 2 – 3 months.

As of February 2012, I will be exploring new, original skincare with good efficacy with the FaceWorkshops Club members. I will be directing them to the right products for their personalised skincare routines.

Join the Club on info@faceworkshops.com for more information & to have fun trying and testing new skincare brands you would not have otherwise heard about.
