Which factor is crucial for selecting the right skincare product for a client?

  1. Cost of the product

  2. Client’s skin type

  3. Brand popularity

  4. Product scent

The correct answer is: Client’s skin type

The most crucial factor for selecting the right skincare product for a client is the client's skin type. Understanding an individual's skin type—whether it is oily, dry, combination, sensitive, or normal—allows an esthetician to recommend products that will effectively address their specific skin concerns and needs. For example, someone with oily skin may benefit from lightweight, oil-free formulations, while someone with dry skin may require richer, more hydrating products. While cost, brand popularity, and scent can influence a client's choice, they should not take precedence over the fundamental consideration of skin type. Selecting products based on skin type ensures compatibility and effectiveness, leading to better skincare results and client satisfaction.
