Looking good is important to many Australians, with the average person spending $5,172 on beauty each year. A newly released industry report submits that this level of spend is increasing, despite cost-of-living and inflationary pressures, suggesting a cultural shift towards caring for and protecting your skin.
There is so much information available on skincare and treatments, and it’s all the more complex when you consider that everyone’s skin is different. What works for your friend may not work for you.
At Pamper, we see clients asking more and more about in-clinic facial treatments and skincare routines to implement at home. They want the best possible results and are often overwhelmed by the sheer volume of conflicting advice by skinfluencers online. However, the best results don’t come from the latest trend – they come from a thorough consultation, a bespoke treatment plan and by committing to your skin goals.
With a Pamper treatment plan, you empower and educate yourself to make the best decisions for your skin health.
