1: We think expensive equals effective
Let’s be real; no matter the price, we all get pretty excited and happy about new skincare purchases – and want to use them immediately and all at the same time (just imagine my face when we launched woods_ copenhagen!). You may not think about it in your everyday life, but when it comes to skincare, we easily get tempted by all the wonderful options out there – something that can become an expensive journey. Of course, for some brands, expensive really equals quality. But you may consider doing your research first, before you go hunting for that miracle remedy. Although it’s fun and cheerful with new luxury products, it’s really important to remember that expensive not necessarily means effective.
At woods_ copenhagen, we value and listen to our customers – and develop our products to meet and match your skin requirements and concerns. This is also why we put in a great deal of effort to provide you with detailed descriptions of all our products, so you know exactly what to look for and feel safe when choosing our products.

2: We don't know our skin type
Knowledge is power. Therefore, knowing your skin type and how it behaves are two powerful navigation tools. Your decision and choice of product should solely be based on your skin type, if you want to take proper care of it. Different skin types require different care for the products to really work efficiently. If you use the wrong products, it can be ineffective – and at worst, confuse the skin completely. Learn how the ingredients match your type of skin, then tailor your selection of products accordingly. Another important thing is to be sure about what is beneficial for your skin; what does it need, what helps it, and what works against it. The skin is popularly divided into six different skin types:
DRY |
Less elastic Easily irritated Rough and flaky |
NORMAL |
Elastic Even and has a healthy complexion Rarely irritated |
OILY | Shiny and uneven Enlarged pores Prone to pimples and spots due to overproduction of sebum (natural oil in skin) |
MATURING |
Lacks fullness and elasticity |
SENSITIVE | Dry and red in appearance Often itchy and firm Often reacts sensitively to some skincare products |
COMBINATION |
Shiny and uneven Often develops impurities in the T-zone Normal to dry around the cheek area |

3: We give up too easily and jump on to the next (product)
Here’s the thing about skincare products. They require patience. But the truth is we’re quick to toss the product away if it doesn’t work properly (well, at least as properly as we have the patience for) and immediately – and waiting next in line, is a new "miracle maker."
A lot of different skincare products are equal to a lot of change in your skin’s daily balance. And as with everything else, the skin too needs time to adapt. Skincare is not just something to “wing off”, but it should be a fun, effective, and rewarding ride. Using a product once or twice without an immediate and desired result shouldn’t worry you (unless it isn’t the right one for your skin type), but it should be a journey you’re ready to go on, knowing it takes time – but the reward is worth it all!The solution:
