Unfortunately, many products do not deliver or perform in the way advertised. On the other hand, professionals use their products daily and have confidence in what the outcome should and will be if their clients utilize the products as advised. The products sold must work, or the expert loses credibility. Yet, a consumer must realize aestheticians won't do a hard sell. They analyze your skin, make suggestions and then leave it up to you.
Consultations are usually free.
As with most any service, you'll want to find an aesthetician you feel comfortable with, one who works with you to achieve the results you desire. Also, if an aesthetician does not ask what your goals are or your desired results, you might want to consider going somewhere else. As is the case with good overall health, good skin requires an interactive approach on the part of the client. But products must be used correctly to get the desired results. It's a myth that professional skin-care products are overly costly.
