Loading ...I saw this machine at a mall while visiting family in Lynchburg, VA. My first reaction was ooh that’s pretty cool, but then the more I thought about it. I prefer the hands on approach to skin care and products.
I am certain the “marketing genius’” behind this monstrosity thought this will be great for business. Sure, initial cost for equipment is on the expensive side, but over the long haul. This will pay for itself. A lot less headache than an under paid, disgruntled mall employee.
From a consumer stand point, while my initial reaction was one of amazement. That only went so far. What happens after I’ve stood there and watched the video loop a few times, and read the product menu? Now what?
I may still have questions, and who can answer them for me? Certainly not this automated machine. I am just as stoked about the advancements in technology, as the next person, but there is something very human about being able to interact with another person.
While technology is exciting, there is a level where I have to draw the line. Proactive is no la-di-dah product line (this is serious stuff), and I think they should be more Proactive (pun intended) and have trained estheticians assisting with product purchases. BTW- I’ve never seen anyone walk up to this machine, that’s in the middle of the food court and buy anything. Skin care is personal matter, and deserves a level of intimacy.
Did you know that if you are using proactive products you should not wax?

I think I first saw this machine in Las Vegas. Yep – I was intrigued too. Then I figured it didn’t really have any skin analysis skills, and no bedside manner to speak of

Educated Esty, exactly. Beside manner and skin analysis skills are very important. They out weigh the bells and whistles of a machine that sales “beauty products”. Thanks for your comment.
