Is your face worth RM20 / S$8.5 / US$5.5 million

Well that's what one customer is suing De Classic Life (DCL) - a direct selling company in Malaysia for scaring her face using a skincare product that contained prohibited items.

As always, the most important criteria for selecting a product is always the company that represents it. Over the last 10 years in the MLM industry, I have seen so many local and Asian companies come and go.

Remember trading companies will take the cheapest product out there, sell it expensive and pay out huge commissions, just to attract people looking for short term fast money.

If you looking for safe products and a long term stable income, then look for international companies that make their own products, invest in R & D and offer value for money products.

Remember, quality is defined as what's on the label is in the bottle and what's in the bottle, is on the label. So learning to read labels in half the job, and the other half is trusting the company who has made it.

Be safe always or your RM20 million dollar face could be permanently scared for life.

Branded items high price does not equal high quality

Remember that the cost of every branded product is determined by the cost of marketing, promotions, advertising and celebrities used.

So a branded item while costs a lot, does not mean it is the best. As over 70% of the price you pay could be for the cost of bringing the item to the market, with just 10% spent on the actual ingredients used.

In the 1950's the actual product cost was 70% and 30% was for marketing and advertising in limited mediums. Today, 70% of the price you pay, goes into advertising and promotions in multi advertising mediums.

Smart consumers are begining to realise this fact, and more are switching to direct to end consumer buying. Companies like Unicity cut out all advertising, celebrity endorsements, promotional items and middle men. These savings translate into bringing into the market, quality products at a resonable value for money price.

The ugly side of local cosmetic producers

Beware - local cosmetic producers have switched to another equally dangerous chemical called hydroquinone - to give women a fair and unblemished look, reported the Star this week.

Known locally as susuk emas or golden needle, this chemical is sold through several beauty houses in Malaysia.

Another chemical Azelaic acid which is used to treat severe acne and acne vulgaris, could cause health complications, severe skin damage including skin cancer.

Please do read the product label, but then again, with fly by night companies, what's on the label may not necessarily be in the bottle and what's in the bottle, may not be on the label.

Invest in quality products for your skin, especially products that are made in USA and used by Hollywood actresses. USA made products are highly regulated and certainly of much higher standard than products made in Taiwan, China or Malaysia.

Be skincare and Dr Berman's skin treatment products, are made exclusively in USA, and Green Tea Oil is made and patented in Japan and guaranteed to work in 60 days. Contains all natural plant ingredients without any chemicals, preservatives, artificial colours and fragrances, or animal products.

Quality is determined by what's on the label is in the bottle and what's in the bottle is on the label. Yes it may cost a bit more than a local product, but then again, your face and body is priceless. So don't look and feel cheap , using cheap products that are dangerous for your face and body.
