Hi,
Can anyone help me please. I have tried various high end exclusive bodycare lines including Pitanguy, Jeneuve (currently only available in Switzerland) as well as some products from Cle de Peau amongst other's. What other high end bodycare (not facial)brands can be recommended
for moisturizers, exfoliators etc.?
Thank you for your feedback!

| La Prairie and Creme de La Mer are very high end that offer body care. |

| What results are you looking for? And why must they be high end? |

Because I would like to know what other brands are out there "high end, exclusive" which offer complete Bodycare lines, so far I only found two brands in the luxury Bodycare field Ivo Pitanguy's line( BodyCare Firming Formula US$ 240) and Jeneuve Skincare in Switzerland(Bust Lifting Precision Pro Complex US$ 210). These are the only two companies offering very high end, exclusive lines of bodycare products.
Why are Skincare products i.e. facial much more "expensive" than Bodycare??
Is the rest of your skin not that important cause it spends most of the time hidden under your cloth?
..am I missing something here?? Of course there are other's like Sisley,Carita (Progressif Bodycream for US$250)and the ones you mentioned Creme de la Mer, La Prairie etc. etc..who offer pricey exclusive bodycare but these are mainly just single products to compliment their facial skincare and not a whole product line of Bodycare..right? I am probably missing something!  Lisa x |

I'm not sure if sister sweets thinks the same, but to me your reply doesn't really answer her question. A product doesn't have to be expensive to work now does it...  |

| Hmm..ok well please explain then to me why there are products from high end brands that cost 100 times more than other products from low end brands that claim to do exactly the same? Surely because the high end products like La Prairie, Jeneuve, Creme de la Mer, Cle de Peau..and so on..invest in research and ingredients a lot more! But maybe i got it totally wrong and there is another reason..as far as i am concerned you get what you pay for! |

No answer to these questions?

Facial skincare products are probably more expensive because the skin there is more delicate and sensitive. Something which is fine when applied to your body could cause major problems when applied to your face. I, therefore, would imagine that more rigorous testing is required to ensure that facial products are kinder on delicate skin.
As for high end bodycare, I think much of the money you spend goes on advertising and ensuring a sense of exclusivity. It may not necessarily be any better than a mid-range, or even occasionally a budget, product.
Kiehls bodycare is mid-price range, and I've always found that to be very effective. They sell a wide variety of body products. |

I suggest you spend some time reading the different threads on this Forum. You will soon discover that you don't have to spend a fortune on products for them to be effective. Actually, if you take a look at the "What is your most disappointing product" thread you will see that just about all of those put forward are high end products:
http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=35055
The most important aspect of any product is its ingredients. High end products don't necessarily have any better ingredients than pharmacy brands - quite often they can be similar. But the luxury brands often have bigger advertising, marketing and packaging budgets - which the consumer has to pay for.
The simple reason why facial products are more expensive than body products is that men and women tend to worry more about what their facial skin looks like rather than their body skin. Customers are more willing to spend big bucks on facial creams in the hope that they can delay the aging process.
But there will always be those customers who prefer to buy prestige brands just because it makes them feel pampered and special.
IMO if you really want to find something nourishing to apply to the body, you'd be better off taking a look at oils such as Macadamia or Jojoba. |

"Exclusive" means that not everyone who wants that product can have it. For example, a country club or a Manhattan co-op are "exclusive" because mere money will not get you a spot in either -- you must be anointed by the powers that be.
There are no "exclusive" skin care products. Some, however, are very expensive. Many of the very expensive ones are ridiculously overpriced. I suppose if it makes you feel good to be ripped off, then go for it. Caveat emptor. |

The dictionary definition of "exclusive" is "limited to a select few". The measure of a cosmetic's exclusivity is its price - meaning that only a select few can afford it.
I would point out that the ingredients of any cosmetic product only make cosmetic changes to the skin. They do not make biological changes to the body. To make biological changes to the skin you have to use a drug, such as Retin-A. Unlike pharmaceuticals, there are no regulations governing cosmetic products - so their efficacy is not controlled. Therefore, there is no guarantee that you get what you pay for. |

Agreed. And a further reminder: Cosmeceuticals are not drugs, no matter what any advertising copy may say. Topical products are either cosmetics or drugs (which require a prescription from a doctor). |

I tend to agree about the price point for body care. My favorites for body moisture are 100% organic, fair trade coconut oil in winter and extra vigin olive oil as a body moisturizer.
Altho I havent had kids yet so no stretch marks or sag boobs but when the time comes who knows what I will spend to cure it !!! |
