Little Known Hacks for Getting the Most Out of Your Skin Care Products
We all want calm, clear, moisturised, healthy skin, so it’s no wonder that we’re happy to invest in a whole bunch of face products. In fact, the UK skin care market estimated to be worth a whopping £3.51 billion GBP in 2024.
We’re always on the lookout for the newest and best skin care products, whether it is all-natural serums loaded with organic ingredients or the latest TikTok trend (like those fun pimple patches) the demand just keeps growing.
But one size does not fit all. Different skin types, textures and tones all require personalised routines, so it can take a while to find a combination of products that work for you.
How to get the most out of your skincare products:
Once you’ve nailed down a routine that works for you, how do you make sure your products are doing their job? We've answered some frequently asked skin care questions to help you make sure your routine is effective.
Whether you're trying new skin care products, adding LED therapy to your routine, or building a skin care routine for the first time, start by thinking about the results you want to achieve. Enjoy the process and have fun taking care of your skin!
Can I use different skincare products every day?
You should always read the instructions for each product, as usage instructions will vary.
While it might be tempting to switch up your skin care products every day, it can be best to stick to a consistent routine – for example, Shark CryoGlow should be used once daily for 8 weeks to see the best results. Remember, it can take a few weeks of consistent use to show noticeable results.
Which skin care products should not be refrigerated?
It’s best to carefully read each product’s storage instructions, as this will vary for every product.
Some people love keeping eye creams and gels in the fridge because it feels nice and cool when you put them on – thankfully, Shark CryoGlow has an integrated Under-Eye Cooling mode to help soothe and depuff tired eyes with adjustable temperatures whenever you like, so there’s no need to banish your eye creams to the kitchen.
Can I use skincare products after the expiration date?
We all know about ‘best before’ dates on food, but cosmetic products do have expiration dates too. Look for the 'PAO' (Period After Opening) icon on the label – a number generally followed by an 'M' and an open jar symbol. This tells you how many months you can use the product for, after opening. You may sometimes see this timeframe given in years, rather than months.
Can men use women’s skincare products?
Most skin care products are gender neutral. Shark CryoGlow is designed for a universal, comfortable fit.
