Lately, I’ve been curious about how the principles of dating could translate into my work as a skincare formulator. It sounds a little out there, but hear me out both fields are about understanding needs, creating attraction, and building lasting relationships (even if one is with a product!).
For example, in dating, personalization is key you tailor conversations to match someone’s interests. Could the same apply to skincare? Maybe formulating products that adapt to a customer’s unique skin concerns over time, like a serum that evolves based on feedback. Or taking cues from how dating builds trust transparency about ingredients or sharing the “story” behind a formulation to connect with users.
Has anyone else tried applying unconventional perspectives to their work? I’d love to hear any thoughts or analogies that could spark some creativity!
