I would strongly suggest that you do indeed try the products yourself first to have a play and see their effects on your own skin.
It IS a very important decision to make taking on a skin care brand as you have to be behind it 100% otherwise clients will see straight through this and be reluctant to have treatments or buy homecare.
Ive said this before but find a stockist near you and experience a treatment for yourself. Homecare is only part of the process so you need to know how the professional products perform, feel and what result is given post treatment.
Only then can you really make a full informed decision as you will have experienced the skin brands from each angle.
I looked at Environ before I took on ET and I loved the AVST for homecare, its superb, BUT I had a treatment and while it gave good results, I didnt find it relaxing, and this was something that I knew some of my clients wanted, so unfortunatley this wasnt meant to be.
But can you see where im coming from with it? I knew my market and experienced each angle to make a decision based on both my own opinions and those what my client base require.
Eve Taylor produce and package their products themselves in Peterborough and dont outsource thus keeping the costs down and passing that benefit onto us and our clients.
Some products in my opinion could be priced a little higher as I know people would still pay it, but see this as a positive.
Remember never say 'cheap' always say affordable as these two words, even though similar are very far apart and create a completely different message.
If you feel that a single product may be too low in price then how about suggesting a regime set? Group a cleanser, toner and moisturiser together in a set price, this will give you bigger product sales and they will see better results as they have products working in synergy rather than a single product with bits and bats they have at home.
As for products for yourself...
Id probably go for the soothing or balancing range and use No4 booster oil.
I hope that helps, and good luck with whichever brand you choose. Remember choose wisely!
