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.
