On any given weekend, you can find me browsing my favorite online retailers for the latest beauty and skin care products. There’s just something about online shopping! I get to wear my pajamas and avoid crowds. Plus, when the package finally comes, it’s pretty much a present to me from myself. Who doesn’t love that? Aside from the fun of it all, online shopping comes along with several hidden benefits, especially for skin care products. Your perfect skin care routine is just a click away!
Amazing Selection of Skin Care Products
When you shop for skin care at a store, you limit yourself to whatever that particular franchise has in stock. Online shopping opens you up to a huge selection of skin care products from different brands, stores, and countries. More options mean that you’re more likely to find something that works for you and your skin’s needs. Plus, online stores tend to restock more quickly than physical stores. Sounds good to us! Just be careful not to try too many products at once; always see how your body reacts before adding new steps to your skin care routine.
No Salespeople
This happens to me all the time. I’ll be browsing a display when a salesperson comes over and pushes me to buy. I understand that they’re just doing their job, but I definitely prefer to shop in peace, especially when it comes to skin care and beauty products. If you do, too, online shopping is the perfect alternative. You can take your time browsing and do your own research without being pushed or coerced.
Promos
Most stores offer insider newsletters that notify you of upcoming promos and discounts. But, what does it say at the bottom of the ad? Online only. Shopping online lets you take advantage of all the promotional codes and sales that a company has to offer. This means that you can pick up more of your favorite skin care products while saving money. Win-win!
Knowing the Ingredients Before You Buy
It’s no secret that when you have sensitive skin or suffer from a skin condition, such as psoriasis, eczema, or rosacea, ingredients are of the utmost important. Looking at skin care product’s ingredients list on the bottle is easier said than done. The print is usually tiny and the list is full of things you’ve never heard of. Often, online stores will list out the ingredients in a product, so you can easily read them. If you come across an ingredient you don’t recognize, just do a quick Google search before you decide to buy. Your sensitive skin and/or delicate skin condition will thank you.
Access to Product Reviews
When you’re at a store, it’s tough to find an unbiased review of something. Before you choose to pick up a new skin care product, check out the reviews online. Read the positive reviews and the negative reviews, but also be sure to do a quick sweep of your favorite beauty blogs. The more research you do, the better.
Freedom to Be Yourself
For me, this is the most important benefit of buying skin care products online. When you suffer from a particular skin condition, such as psoriasis or eczema, asking about how a product will affect your skin can be a little embarrassing. Online shopping is a judgement-free zone! Some companies have live chats, where you can get your questions answered without having to speak to someone face-to-face. You can take care of yourself and your skin care needs without feeling self-conscious.

I just want to know that purchasing skin care products online are good for all types of skin.
Hi there! All of our Sebamed products can be used by any skin type (dry, normal, and oily) and by both men and women. For babies and children though we do recommend our Baby Sebamed line. Our products are also tested on sensitive skin so we’ve made sure those with even the most temperamental skin can use Sebamed. Great question! If you have any others we can help answer please let us know! Best wishes.
