There’s varying opinions on what makes luxury skincare 'Luxury'.

In my opinion, no matter what my income has been, anything above £50 has always been considered expensive, and anything £100 and above has been considered luxury.

But when I talk to subscribers and friends about this, there’s a general opinion that... it really depends what the product is.
Some of us are willing to pay more money for a serum or a cream or an LED mask of course, then we would do a toner or a cleanser.

There's a difference in my option between expensive and luxury.
One definition in the OED is a "thing desirable but not necessary".
Whilst there are expensive necessities like… car tax, feeding 2 large dogs, changing a tire, etc etc
When it comes to the world of skincare, experts who work in the field have often excused luxury skincare being so expensive for a number of reasons

With most luxury brands spout exceptional quality of their products and that can include so many things like, better quality ingredients, a focus on sensorial and overall experience, as well as often guaranteed and better results than you’d get with drug store priced ingredients.
Whilst most of those points, in my opinion, seem outdated, with what we have available at budget friendly prices, when it comes to formulation and quality of ingredients, I think they may have a point.

So I wanted to put luxury skincare to the test, will the price point reflect the efficacy? The results?
Or is luxury skincare purely over priced products in fancy packaging?

Remember that skincare is extremely personal to everybody's skin. What works for me, may not work for you. But I hope my videos give you some good ideas for products, techniques, and Ingredients to try.
Also, I'm obviously not a dermatologist or a doctor, so all opinions on products and anything else I'm presenting, are results and findings from my own experience and research.
And that's why I'm here, to share my research and my findings that go further than what is said on the bottle or Google!
But, everything I present is always a discussion for you to join in with :)
If you have any serious skin concerns, please see a dermatologist/doctor.
