Natural Skin Care

The anti aging and skin care industries are huge. Millions or billions of dollars are spent by consumers on anti aging skin care treatments, and so there is big money to be made. And there are plenty of big companies in the anti aging and cosmetics industry that take advantage of this.

But that doesn’t mean that the products work well, and there are many big brand name anti-aging skin care products that do very little. There is no government regulation in the US requiring companies to demonstrate that their products work or that they even use safe ingredients.

So you can also find that there are many dangerous ingredients in anti aging and skin care products, and the products don’t work very well.

But despite this they sell huge amounts of these products that advertise their ability to make you look younger. Everywhere you look you see products telling you they will make you younger and look great.

So the challenge for the consumer is to navigate through all the hype and actually find a range of anti-aging skin care products that work and don’t contain potentially dangerous ingredients.

Here’s how not to choose good anti aging products.

1. Make sure you don’t buy any anti-aging products that contain fragrances. The big companies put fragrances in their skin care ranges because they know we like to look younger and smell good.

Unfortunately there’s 2 problems here. First the skin care cream or other anti-aging cream that you’ve bought probably won’t do much to make you look younger.

Secondly, fragrances are not good chemicals to put on your skin. Because that’s what they are, chemicals that smell good, and many of them aren’t that good for you. It’s the same with perfumes, for example, but if you apply a perfume it’s only a small squirt on one spot, it’s not massaged all over your face where it disappears, into your blood. So just use a perfume instead.

2. Resist buying anti-aging skin care products containing collagen. But surely everyone knows that as we age our skin loses collagen and so starts to sag and wrinkle and form lines, so we need to replace that collagen.

Yes and no. Yes we need to replace that lost collagen, and no adding it to the bottles of anti-aging products like those moisturizers and day creams and night creams and so on doesn’t work. It doesn’t work because collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the skin, and so it just stays on the surface.

But you can increase the levels of collagen in the skin by stimulating the skin to produce more of it’s own collagen.

So why is that collagen in the bottle, and why is that big name celebrity on TV telling you how much younger they look? Because the anti aging companies know that people buy the products if they have collagen in them, so they sell lots of bottles.

Even if it’s got dangerous ingredients in it like fragrances and doesn’t do all that much it still sells fast.

That’s marketing.

But all this fancy TV advertising costs a bomb, and the celebrity needs her huge cut.

So although that anti-aging product is really just making you smell better and not much else it sells big time because people assume that if it costs that much it has to be good.

There’s 2 things to avoid when looking for a good anti aging skin care treatment. There’s more, but that’s for another time, or visit my website.

So the obvious conclusion is that you should give up using anti aging creams and other skin care products because they don’t work. But no don’t give up. There are some excellent anti aging products that work just fine and are moderately priced. Made from ingredients that are known to be effective and known to be safe.

But they are produced by small niche companies that you’ve probably never heard of, who quietly produce high quality products at reasonable prices because they don’t pay the good looking celebrities and spend up big on TV advertising. That’s why you’ve never heard of them. If they started doing that their products would cost a bomb too.

So don’t despair. I’ve given you some things to look for when buying an anti aging skin care product, and told you that there are excellent products available. Now it’s your turn to find them.
