Anti Aging Products Containing Petrochemicals Can Actually Harm Your Skin
The market for anti aging skin care products is huge and growing. Whenever there is a big demand for something, multiple companies try to profit from it.
Some manufacturers offer high quality anti wrinkle creams, lotions and deep moisturizing masks. Others provide products that don’t work. The only way to tell the difference is by reading the label of ingredients.
Independent examinations have proven that several compounds are effective. Note the “some”. The same evaluations showed that some are no more effective than a cheap moisturizer.
Cheap moisturizers can actually be detrimental. Most of them contain petrochemicals, which can cause you to age prematurely and does lead to pimples by clogging the pores.
I’ve heard many people say that they don’t use moisturizing creams, because they don’t like the greasy feeling they leave and cause them to have breakouts. I have personally tried anti aging skin products that caused the same problem. Regardless of the other ingredients in the creams, there will always be emollients in the product.
Emollients are moisturizing and softening compounds. If you can’t use a moisturizer, then you cannot use anti aging skin care products. But, not to worry. Anyone can apply a moisturizer so long as it doesn’t contain petroleum jelly or mineral oil. You see, it is the ingredient, not the product that causes the problem.
Good emollients include Shea butter, grape seed oil, jojoba and macadamia oil. Shea butter is one of the effective ingredients mentioned above.
It has been shown in clinical studies to make women’s skin softer, smoother and younger looking in as little as 30 days of use.
People are often surprised about the benefits of Shea butter. They have used it as a hand cream, but had no idea about the anti-aging effects.
It seems that only some grades of Shea butter offer the premium benefits. It is important to look for the cold pressed grades. They should also be free of added fragrances.
Fragrances are unnecessary ingredients that should not be included in anti aging products. Many of the adverse reactions that people experience are caused by the fragrance.
There are other effective ingredients to look for. You will learn more about them in some of my other articles.
