How to write copy for skin care products?

Well one thing to consider is that this is an extremely old and jaded market. Heck, skin care goes back to the Egyptians!

Normally a market goes through various stages. In the earliest stage you could just go "Skin care!" and people would come running. In later stages you could differentiate yourself from other skincare providers by making bigger promises, later still by promising new and improved mechanisms or secret ingredients.

Nobody believes in your rock lotus potions using hydrostatic pumping and Bustawrinke(tm) anymore. So what's left?

Brand and identity.

Find a very specific audience and sell it as THE choice of (that audience), because (that audience) is smarter than all those dum fux over there, because reasons.

Hope that helps, feel free to PM for more.

Flesh is equally allurin' an' mortal in its essential offer.

There's always a new angle to be had. Your job is to find it.

I can't imagine that anyone would actually come to this forum and reveal what's currently working for them in a billion dollar industry.

Todd Brown wrote an excellent book, "How To Find Your Big Marketing Idea!" I think you'd find it a good read and very helpful.

Look at your competitor's copy and read it carefully. Ask your market what ads speak to them when they're shopping for skin care products.

There is no "skin care market." People buy skin care products for quite different reasons.

For example, I have a mild dermatological condition for which I'm often on the lookout for products that are as natural and non-toxic as possible. I want my skin to look normal and feel non-irritated. I'm a very different buyer than another woman my age who wants to look younger and will buy just about anything for that, or another one who finds her makeup (which she won't give up) bothers her skin.

So, you need to zero in on who your customers are, what their goals and product criteria are.

No different from any other niche, really.

Always thought skin care products was one of the easiest to market.

You need a cause:

You're looking old, you've got age spots, you have bags under your eyes, Your husband thinks you look old, you are old...

You need a story:

The secret ingredients of this crap were discovered by accident after my grandma died 2 years ago at age 93.

We all wondered why she looked like she was only 91.

Wasn't till she died that we found her diary that contained a secret recipe for a specific mixture that all but eliminated wrinkles within 25 years.

I had no idea she had the secret formula that could transform the wrinkle cream industry.

I followed the recipe and let 23 of my friends try it.

I can hardly keep this stuff in stock now.

You need a Facebook Page...run some ads.

Start a blog about wrinkles...you can use Medium and start a free blog that gets a lot of looks.

You need to give away a free report:

A couple bullets:

Plus: 3 quick ways to test yourself for CF73, the hidden cancer caused by 3 of these deadly ingredients that is untreatable once it starts.

Make it sound popular: As seen in LA Times, NY Times, etc. (you can do this real cheap).

You can then buy some junk on Alibaba for under 3 bucks a bottle...white label it...give away the first bottle once they pay a small shipping fee...then send them another bottle every month and charge them $60.00 monthly.

Start making more money...start running more ads.

Ok, the above took me about 5 minutes to put together...all made up off the top of my head, but pretty much explains in a nutshell how most skin care products are being sold.

You are assuming that skin care comes down to wanting to look younger. That is not true at all, as I explained in my earlier post.

That is one subset of skin care.

But there are hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of buyers who have other very distinct reasons for wanting to take care of their skin.

Marcia Yudkin

You could benefit from others in your niche who have blogs with high traffic ,try to model their copy and you're set

So we got skin diversity needs!

Kinda who frickin' knew?


For Moi, gotta figure Maxtypops yanks supersweeto on a whole buncha sugar rush propulsin' the f*ck outta skincare promo. Cool synop.



As a Rat Tail Hairdo gal, natchrlly ima wantin' similarly charismatic smarts to effuse from ouyta my ass bcs sumone fixed my frickin' shampoo.


*They ain't dowin' it yet, the cunnyschwanglers*


Thing is, applicatorial miracles rock the house, always, I guess.

You'd better believe it!

A few months ago, I was wandering around a Walmart trying to find a certain brand of Aloe Vera for my husband, and lo and behold, it is so popular with shoplifters that it was being kept behind the prescription counter. You had to ask for it.

This is a product most people use to soothe irritated, dry or sunburnt skin. It's skin care, and it has nothing to do with looking younger.

Some people buy it because it's (mostly) natural and others buy it simply because it works.

First of all do you have content that your visitors can read while browsing your site ?
Maybe you are targeting a niche with a broad audience where competition is high .
So you might want to reasses who your targeting and why. You can also narrow down your niche. Another thing you can do tweak your funnel , tweak your copy , and your offer. Lastly how are you offering a unique benefit to your prospects ?

In a study conducted, the number two reason skin products are purchased is to fight the signs of aging.

Number one is to look and feel sexy... which thank goodness for me is just natural.

Also the study showed men spend just as much as women.

So anyways... however anyone decides to advertise it, this study may help in your research.

Also if you Google copywriters that specialize in skin care products, you'll find a list.

Because of some copywriters, people of the world are becoming sexier. Thank you to those copywriters.

Here's the study:

https://www.skinfo.com/blog/men-wome.../#.W_CsezlOk0N

Maxty, the study you linked to concerns "beauty products." That is the term used in both the headline and the infographic.

When I was looking in Walmart for the Aloe Vera, I discovered that products like it are shelved in two sections of the store, the beauty products section which has mainly cosmetics, and the medical section. Ditto, on Amazon there is a "beauty care" section and a "health care" section.

"Skin care products" is a wider category than "beauty care products," so I would not regard a study of the latter to apply necessarily to the former.

This is not semantics. This reflects how people categorize products in their heads and the types of motivations they have for using products. If you have a product that some people use to look more beautiful and others use to be more healthy (in their minds) you would be missing a significant segment of users if you had only one of these groups in mind in your marketing.

Marcia Yudkin

As no one will apply the skin product without surity , if the product is pure or not , so firslty you need to assure everyone that the skin product is pure . So once it is assured then according your bugdet , you should advertise your product with the model ,so everyone can believe easily and also you can similar skin care product on some good discount.

Best writing about skin care products are customer reviews.

btw, whan alla the skincare experts be done with SKIN -- can they mebbe squirt their exertise ovah my HAIR bcs I look a real mess rn.

Skin care products. Informational products. Skin & information "services," or whatever. What's important to remember is it's people who will use those products and services.

You're a marketer, but you're also a person, human being -- who wants to market your goods to other human beings; i.e., your target audience and/or ideal customers.

When marketing to them, don't think so much about what you ultimately want to achieve, which is sales (and repeat). But demonstrate in your marketing, website and other touch points, you understand their concerns.

Marketing is not difficult when you've done your research on "just" who is your customer. And you should know her/him as well as your child.

Then you will be able to speak to them in a way that builds trust -- because they will know you "get them," you with me?

The by-product of course, will be a steady series of repeat sales.

In summary:

1. Tell a factual message -- the more meaningful the better.
2. In your copy, tell the whole story.
3. Provide facts, not fluff.
4. Drop an overly sales-y persona and be human.

In other words, play it straight.

The formula for writing copy is the same for any niche.

Perhaps you should find a niche that you are an expert in.

There are plenty of people (on here) who succeed in any niche. For me, I found that I struggle making great content (and that includes writing copy) in niches that I chose because I they are known to be lucrative.

If found that I can make a whole lot more money sticking with things I know about.

I personally don't feel "any' market is difficult if that's your market.

In other words, if its your specific niche. Since we're in the Copywriting section of the Warrior Forum, my workable approaches would be all things writing related.

My feeling on the matter comes down to how well you know your ideal customer. What are her pain points? What keeps him up at night. What challenges do they have, that you can help alleviate? Tell them, but as Bernbach said, "write it well."

I'm in the (written) communication business. I solve business challenges by getting at the heart of the problem.

Yes, there is an investment of time upfront, in terms of the research required; including interviewing subject-matter-experts, where appropriate.

But ultimately, in my case, it comes down to building a solid case for my clients products/services. My thoughts only.
