A warning from my neighborhood about sketchy skincare pop-ups

I've seen a couple of temporary skincare kiosks setting up in our local mall. One client told me they sold her a serum that caused a bad rash. In my experience, these pop-ups often don't have licensed estheticians on staff. They might use cheap products that aren't tested properly. I wanted to share this so you can advise your clients to be careful. Your mileage may vary, but it's something to watch out for. Take this with a grain of salt, but I think we should spread the word.

Hearing about that rash really worries me. These pop-ups often use harsh alcohols or fake fragrances that cause reactions. I once checked a booth where the salesperson didn't know what was in the creams. Without licensed staff, they just guess for your skin type. It's so easy to get tricked by their flashy signs. Glad you're spreading the word to keep people safe.

Imagine trusting someone who can't even read the label on their own product. Next time I'll just ask my dog for skincare tips, might work better.

Honestly, milaw14 is right about those flashy signs tricking people.
