Luxury Skincare For Beginners: Where To Start?

luxury skincare

Are you wavering on the purchase of a luxury skincare product? It’s a common dilemma. In fact, for most of us, the purchase of a high-value product can be simultaneously exciting and daunting. 

The fact is we’re constantly bombarded with media images about how we should look, what’s on trend and the latest must-have item. Not just that, but there’s a plethora of skincare products on the market. With so much choice and mixed messaging, it can be downright confusing and difficult knowing where to begin.

Is it too much money, you might wonder. How can I be certain that the results are worth it? It’s natural to feel this way when you’re trying something out for the first time. After all, there’s nothing worse than spending all that money only for a product not to live up to its hype. 

Thankfully, you can put all those worries to bed. With over 30 years of scientific expertise and clinically proven results, Obagi® are the masters in creating luxury skincare products that work.

So, whether you’re looking to make a purchase for yourself or treat someone special this Christmas, we’ve got all your skincare needs covered.

HOW TO CHOOSE A LUXURY SKINCARE PRODUCT

SKIN TYPE

To achieve optimum results, it’s vital to use products formulated for the needs of your skin. You can take our skin quiz now to identify your skin type.

Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® System, available for Normal to Dry and Normal to Oily skin, is a great basis for a daily skincare routine. It’s our bestselling, clinically proven skincare line, formulated to dramatically improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, whilst balancing and brightening skin tone at the same time.

The products work synergistically, meaning they complement one another, and the key ingredients work at a deep cellular level, transforming skin from within, for an enhanced, radiant and youthful complexion. Many other Obagi® products can also be used alongside the Nu-Derm Fx® System too.

CLINICALLY PROVEN INGREDIENTS

The efficacy of a skincare product rests on its ingredients and formulation. A luxury skincare product that’s worth its salt should contain dynamic ingredients that actually transform skin cells and don’t just sit on top of the skin’s surface. 

Clinical trial data should be freely available to provide proof that ingredients have a scientific basis and that results are proven. It’s also a great idea to take a look at before and after photos. 

The Obagi® Research and Development team repeatedly evaluate ingredients to find the most efficacious ones. Once ingredients have been selected, they are clinically tested on all Fitzpatrick skin types.

TARGETED SKINCARE

Before you purchase a luxury skincare product, be clear on your skincare goals and what aspects you’d like to target. Once you’ve decided, look for products that will help you achieve them.

Obagi® have designed a product range to tackle a myriad of skin concerns. Read on for our top recommendations to target some of the more common frustrations. 

BLEMISHES

Retinol boosts skin cell turnover which keeps pores clear and reduces skin blemishes and spots. It’s a fantastic multi-purpose product because it also minimises the appearance of uneven skin texture, dark spots or hyperpigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles for clearer, healthy-looking skin. 

Try our Obagi Retinol® 0.5. It’s minimally irritating and contains wonderfully enriching Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil and calming Chamomile.

This ground-breaking technique means that each droplet is made individually and suspended to preserve its purest form until the time of application. also removes the need for unnecessary emulsifiers that can irritate sensitive skin.

This serum is the ultimate skin pick me up. Be amazed at the instant transformation from dull and lacklustre to a radiant, healthy, and hydrated complexion.

AGEING

The emergence of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the thin, delicate, sensitive skin of the eye area is a common annoyance. This happens as collagen and elastin naturally deplete the older we become. To counteract the ageing process, elastin must be created, converted, and organised in order to benefit the skin. Powerful, clinical-grade products are essential to transform skin in this way.

Obagi ELASTIderm® Collection, uses a revolutionary Bi-Mineral Contour Complex™ that combines Copper and Zinc with Malonate.

This potent mineral packed trio restores elasticity, tightens sagging skin, improves skin resilience and as you’d expect, visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles whilst promoting collagen production. These anti-ageing eye products, and Facial Serum ticks all the boxes, a must-have for anyone concerned about fine lines and wrinkles.
