Ingredients To Avoid

Looking for face skin care products that’s right for you? It’s good to see all advertising for face skin care products and compare each other based on your skin type and condition, but you need to make sure that your chosen face skin care products are well-researched and safe ingredients. I’d like to let you know some of the ingredient to avoid:

Alcohols
In general, you would find that your skin would dry out and long-term use would make your skin to be very irritating. Make sure that you avoid any product containing the common types like benzyl alcohol, ethanol, ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol.

Fragrances
Fragrances are chemicals. So like any toxin, you should avoid any facial skin care product that has these substances. After all, by rubbing a skin care cream onto your face you would cause these to enter your bloodstream via your skin.

Mineral Oil
Many facial care products contain mineral oil to save on cost and to “bulk” up the volume. Please avoid these because they will clog your pores and lead to several skin complaints such as acne and other types of rash.

Parabens
These are some of the worst chemicals although they are used to give the products a longer shelf life because they act as preservatives. Unfortunately, it’s all about cost for some companies. Most dangerous of all is that studies state these substances as being a trigger of cancer.

There’s also something else you need to know: face creams with collagen don’t work, because the molecules of it are too big to penetrate the skin. Some skin care products now feature ingredients like functional keratin, which has been clinically proven to stimulate the skin to naturally produce more collagen connective tissue, as well as elastin fibres. With those ingredients, your skin gets more of these proteins in natural way and exactly where they’re needed most. Even natural oils like avocado is known for its ability to increase the production of these fibres. Instead of looking for collagen skin care products, find products that can actually make a real difference by increasing the natural production of these critical proteins.

Well, good luck in finding the perfect face skin care products!
