The Lowdown on Velocity Skincare
=A0
In the crowded, confusing forest of skin care products promising =
effects from =93amazing=94 and =93age defying=94 to =93flawless =
perfection=94 and =93fountain of youth=94, how do you find your way? =
You should look for a well established line of products developed by =
experts in the field of skin care. With the introduction of the =
Velocity=AE skin care system, Mary Kay Inc. is using its preeminent =
status as one of the largest and most successful direct sellers of skin =
care and color cosmetics products to establish Velocity as a trusted =
name in skin care. Starting with a lightweight moisturizer and facial =
cleanser, Mark Kay hopes to expand Velocity=92s line to a full =
complement of skin care products. So far the results are good and the =
promise of a larger product line looks good.
Marketing for the Velocity skin care system is geared primarily toward =
the under 30 crowd. However, if you have generally normal skin, =
aren=92t looking for the anti-aging moisture of other product lines such =
as Classic and Timewise, and only suffer pimple breakouts during stress =
or hormonal changes, then the Velocity skin care system can be a good =
choice regardless of your age. The Velocity products are infused with a =
fragrance that is clean and fresh and has been very well received though =
it takes the products out of the hypo-allergenic category.
The cleanser uses a three in one approach. It cleans the skin, =
removing dirt and oil, and also tones and exfoliates. The three in one =
approach is convenient and saves time and the expense of separate =
products for these purposes. The Velocity fragrance is reported as =
=93clean, faint and refreshing=96 just right.=94 The cleanser has a =
muddy, translucent, mask-like character and feels good on the skin. The =
exfoliant in the cleanser is noticeable, it works and yet it isn=92t =
irritating. In the Velocity skin care system the cleanser is followed by =
the lightweight moisturizer which also carries the light, clean Velocity =
fragrance that has proved quite popular.
Formally established in 1963, Mark Kay, Inc. has long been the dominant =
force in direct sales of skin care and cosmetics. With a storied history =
of product research and development, Mark Kay skin care products and =
cosmetics have achieved international recognition and acclaim. Today =
Mary Kay produces a complete line of premium skin care and cosmetic =
products that are sold around the world.
Consumers who may only know only a little about skin care and cosmetics =
can be confused by misleading information. You are unique! And so is =
your skin. What is right for your individual skin care needs? You can be =
confident about the Velocity skin care system because Mary Kay focuses =
its product development efforts in the three areas most important for =
skin care and maintenance. . . cleansing, conditioning and =
moisturizing. Many cosmetic and skin care companies tout all sorts of =
treatment regimens, benefits and results. However the truth of skin =
care is in these three basic concepts=96 concepts that Mary Kay has kept =
clearly in mind over its many years in the skin care and cosmetics =
business. Mary Kay Inc. is proud of and committed to its stand against =
the use of animals in testing cosmetic products and that includes the =
products in the Velocity skin care system. Unfortunately, testing =
product formulations on animals such as guinea pigs, rabbits and monkeys =
remains a common practice to determine whether a cosmetic product may =
cause skin damage, irritation or allergic reactions if applied to =
sensitive areas. However for Mary Kay and a growing number of =
responsible companies, the disadvantages and ethical concerns inherent =
in animal testing far outweigh its benefits.
