The cosmetics and skin care industries are huge and turnover billions of dollars every year. There are lots of US women looking for solutions to looking younger and looking good, and plenty of big companies that take advantage of this.
But sadly many of the anti aging skin care products that you buy just don’t really do very much. Sadly the cosmetics and anti aging industry is are insufficiently regulated in the US and these companies can put almost any ingredient into their products without proving that are safe for people to use or that they work.
Consequently there’s many anti aging skin care products that don’t work well and can have ingredients that are known to be dangerous.
Even so there are large numbers of skin care products being advertised as making your skin look younger and you look great and there’s huge volumes of these products sold.
So how do you make sense of this and shoes anti aging skin care products that work and don’t have suspect ingredients?
This is how not to choose your anti aging products.
1. Look out for fragrances in anti aging skin care products you’re considering buying. Now we all like to smell good, and the big companies know that so use fragrances. Look younger and smell good at the same time.
But there’s 2 problems. Firstly the skin care cream you’re buying probably won’t do very much to make you look younger.
And secondly, fragrances are chemicals and not good to put on your skin. And it’s exactly the same with perfumes, but with a perfume you only use a little here and there, but with a skin care cream you apply much more.
2. Don’t buy skin care creams that have collagen in them. Now this at first glance appears counterintuitive doesn’t it? Just about everyone knows that the loss of collagen in your skin leads to skin sagging and wrinkles so getting more collagen in your skin must be good.
Well maybe you should and maybe you shouldn’t. It is important to replace lost collagen but molecules of collagen are too big to penetrate the skin so putting collagen in the bottle doesn’t do anything, other than perhaps making you feel good.
But you can increase the levels of collagen in the skin by stimulating the skin to produce more of it’s own collagen.
Why do you see collagen in the bottle and why too is that well-known big-time movie star in the advertisements telling you how much younger she looks? That’s because the companies that make these skin care products know that if people see collagen listed on the label they’ll buy the products.
Even if it doesn’t do anything for you. Even if the ingredients can be suspect. It will sell.
That’s marketing.
But there is a problem. It costs megabucks to pay that celebrity to go on TV and tell you how great the products are, and those fancy bottles cost a lot.
So those in care and anti aging products really don’t do very much and cost a lot. That’s alrright because most people think that if it’s expensive it’s got to be good. So they pay anyway.
There’s 2 things that you have to look for and avoid if you’re in the market for a good skin care treatment. There’s more, but that’s for another time, or visit my website.
You think your anti aging skin care products don’t work and you’re thinking of giving up on them? No. Surprisingly there are very good anti aging skin care products that work well, are reasonably priced and also use known safe ingredients.
But they aren’t made by the big name brands but by small niche companies that you’ve probably never heard of. They don’t spend a fortune on expensive TV advertising so you’ve probably never heard of them, but equally you’ll find that their products are very recently priced.
Natural Organic Skin Care Products don’t have any of these problems
Don’t despair. So I hope you’ve learned something about ingredients to avoid when you’re choosing your anti aging skin care products. Now it’s up to you. You can find out more on my website about Antiaging Skin Care Products
