Problem: I've been following your advice
and am using products from several different lines. My
skin is doing well, but all the cosmetics salespeople
say it is a mistake to mix and match. They say products
are designed to work together, and that is what helps
the skin best.
Solution: Stop listening to those cosmetics
salespeople; they are wrong. If every line had SPF 15
sunscreens with the requisite UVA protection, gentle cleansers
with nonirritating ingredients, foundations that aren't
peach-colored, and on and on, I would agree that you don't
need to mix and match. But I have found good and bad products
in every line. Many lines don't have adequate sunscreens,
while they do have products that contain irritating ingredients,
or offer rose, peach, and ashen foundation colors, or
make mascaras that flake and smear. If you only buy products
from one line, chances are that you will end up with some
bad products! Mixing and matching is the only way to go.
You don't wear clothes from one designer, buy furniture
from one manufacturer, take medicine from one pharmaceutical
company, or eat food from just one company. The only way
to develop a successful skin-care or makeup routine is
to select what works best for your skin type and needs,
not because it's from a particular line.
