Skin care is a massive industry, and a competitive one at that. There are now thousands of different offerings from various different companies, many of which have side stepped the expensive start up costs by being based completely online.The downside of this of course is that almost anyone can set up shop online and there is very little standard control, which goes some way to explain why Norwegian experts discovered that 50% of the online offering where actually bad for you.

Over 400 products were sampled from a cross section of sellers across the net and included everything from supermarket brands, foreign products and even exclusive professional offerings. There were both facial care and also hand care products sampled, and they were all tested extensively on various types of skin and measured on their effectiveness, ease of use and side effects. A control group were given a very basic cream that had no active ingredients.

The findings of the study gave some shock results and gave a clear indication of just how many poor quality products are available on the internet. Firstly the study found that around 70% of the products did not give any benefits to the user, and what is more, over 50% of the products had negative side effects. The recorded side-effects included rashes, itching, tightness, dryness and even blistering.

Another finding, which may not come as so much of a surprise, was that those products at the top of the price range benefited the skin most. In fact the products that cost in the top 20% of the list all showed positive effects and had no side effects. The overruling advice from this research has to be to do your research and only buy the highest quality skin care products you can. Additionally, be sure to source your products from trusted and well-established companies like this London spa.On a final note, always patch-test new skin care products first on an area of skin that is not usually visible, not too sensitive and does not come into contact with other skin.
