Looking younger is the constant goal for many of us ladies - and for many of you men out there. Smooth, glowing, healthy skin looks more attractive and makes us feel great.
Many of us find that as we get older, a little more work and the correct application of anti-aging products are need to give nature and our own natural beauty a little helping hand.
The issue is which products work and which are, to say it simply, a total and complete waste of our money. Without spending 100’s and even 1000’s of dollars on trial and error, how do we know what anti-aging products to use? And let’s face facts, we can just trust cosmetic companies to come clean with us!
What we can and must do is to take a very close look at the ingredients that we are sure are beneficial to the anti-aging process and have a proven, positive influence on our skin care regime. Add to that, and just as importantly, we can and must look at what these products do not contain.
Firstly, any products we put on our skin should be completely free of mineral oils. Mineral oil, which is a petroleum based product, has been in use for many years as a hydrating agent. This sounds like it is good for the skin but it is, in fact, bad for the skin.
Mineral oil has the ability to clog the skin to keep in water - and as we all know - clogging of the skin is a bad thing that can cause acne. It is widely used for basically s single reason - it is very cheap to extract. I don’t recommend its use and I don’t recommend any of the low price products that contain it.
In place of mineral oil we should always use products that a made with naturally occurring skin moisturizers such as jojoba, almond, wheat germ. These don’t clog the skin, letting it breath, and therefore let out all of those nasty free-radical agents.
Additionally, the vitamin B complex niacin is proven to be an effective moisturizing and anti-aging substance that actually restores skin cells. When you see this ingredient you know it will have a positive effect on your skin.
It is important that tour skin care program must be PH balanced. Whatever type of skin you have, adding acidity detremental and must be avoided. You must also make sure your products are hypo-allergenic and formulated with no dyes and chemical fragrances.
And finally, you will not find everything in just one product. Reducing the effects of aging and keeping your skin in tip-top condition will take several products. There is just no one single product that does it all (don’t we wish that were not true). Make sure you use a proven system of skin care with products that match and complement each other. This is the way to get the skin you want and deserve.
