The market for anti-aging beauty products has sky-rocketed in the last few years.
Millions of dollars are being made by the companies producing the creams, lotions, serums and salves that aging baby boomers are applying to their faces andbodies in an effort to delay the inevitable.
Yes, I am afraid we are talking about the "W" word.
Wrinkles.
Or creases, laughter lines, sagging skin.
Whatever you wishto call it, it's called looking old and we will all have to deal with it one day.
The question is, do anti-aging beauty products have to make such a huge dent our wallets? Thankfully, the answer is no.
Today, much to the chagrin of retailers, if you know where to look online there are bargains for everything.
Even the fountain of youth, namely anti-aging skin care.
No longer do we have to spend hours of precious time getting in our cars, finding a parking space then traipsing around the mall for expensive jars of skin care when we can easily purchase the same thing on the internet in minutes.
The top two places online where you can almost be guaranteed a bargain are Amazon and eBay and unless you have been living on a desert island for the last 5 years, you will have at least heard of them if not purchased something through them.
Through increased security for online shoppers, customers now feel much more comfortable buying on the internet and sales are booming on both eBay and Amazon.
Of course, people will have their own reasons for not buying online.
Here are a few examples and my comments: But they charge so much for shipping.
My reply:How much would the gas cost you for the whole trip to the mall? (Not to mention the temptation to eat junk food at the Food Court while you are there).
Skin care packages are small and most shipping costs are not that outrageous.
Also take into account the hours spent on a shopping trip when you could be using that time for something more constructive.
But I want it now.
My reply: Most shipments only take 2-4 days depending on the carrier.
Relax.
By the time it arrives you will probably have forgotten about the order and it will be a nice surprise when it arrives.
I don't really trust the sellers on eBay.
How do I know it will be the real thing? My reply: Having been a Powerseller on eBay, I can tell you that the number one priority to serious eBay sellers is their reputation.
If you value your customers and don't want any negative feedback you will give excellent customer service.
It really is not worth the risk to even try cheating your customers.
You will go down in flames really fast.
Just check the seller's feedback rating.
The same applies to purchasing on Amazon.
If you are still not convinced you can save money by purchasing anti-aging beauty products online, here are a few recent real life examples.
On eBay recently a jar of Arbonne NutriMinC REcover Night Creme, brand new in the box, was sold for $35 with free shipping.
On Amazon it is priced at $25 plus shipping.
This product retails for $75 in the department stores.
Another popular name in anti-aging skin care is Clinique.
Recently a .
5oz jar of their All About Eyes cream, a product that normally retails for $27.
50,sold for $14.
11 on eBay.
With these kinds of savings, it surprises me that people still insist on going to the mall for their anti-aging beauty products.
Maybe they just secretly love stopping at the Food Court.
