Skin Care Products – 5 Secrets to Selecting the Best Skin Care Products

admin — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 02:58:26 +0000

By the time you finish reading this article you’re going to have a good idea on what to look for when it comes to choosing the best skin care products. If you are like most people you want the best when it comes to selecting skin care products that actually work. Open any fashion or health magazine or turn on the TV and you’ll see a whole host of ads claiming they have the best products. Here are some secrets they (the big brand names) don’t want you to know.

Secret #1

The best skin care products are not found on TV or in magazines. Despite what the ads claim you end up paying for the advertising cost, the fancy packaging and you get less effective products. While the ads hype natural or organic products, you get them in such trace amounts that they don’t do you any good.

Secret #2

Read the label. If their active ingredients come in any concentration of less than 50% you can be assured that they will not do you much good good. The best skin care products use active ingredients in concentrations of 50% or more.

Secret #3

Look for cheap filler ingredients. This goes hand in hand with the above secret. Look for chemicals such as alcohol, propylene glycol (an ingredient used in brake fluid), mineral oil (manufactured from crude oil), sodium laurel sulfate (SLS), and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES). The latter 2 are potentially the most harmful and have been linked to cancer. There are many others but be on the lookout for those mentioned here. See the resource box at the end of this article for suggestions of skin care products using beneficial ingredients in the correct concentrations.

Secret #4

Buy products that contain as many plant based organic natural ingredients as possible. Ingredients to look for are: natural Vitamin E, manuka honey from New Zealand, macadamia nut, and avocado oils. Also look for Allantoin, a natural compound in some herbs. It helps to soothe your skin and ease inflammation.

Secret #5

The best skin care products right now come from New Zealand. This tiny country usually known for its sheep population is now gaining a name in the skin care business. They have done extensive research into skin care and spend their money developing the best skin care products for your money rather than spending it on advertising. Do a little research or see the resource box at the end of this article for suggestions on skin care products coming from New Zealand.

In conclusion, finding the best skin care products are not difficult if you follow the secrets above. Skin care products coming from New Zealand offer you the best in quality for your money using only the finest ingredients in the right concentrations.

Moroccanoil has developed a unique, ultra light, non-greasy formula that seals in shine producing silky perfection for all hair types. Moroccanoil combines traditional methods with contemporary needs and technology. It revitalizes hair and brings new opportunities to stylists and salons. For centuries Argan oil has traditionally been used by women in Morocco to treat hair and nails in order to counteract the effects of the hot climate and aging. The Argan tree only grows in an area of South West Morocco called Argana. It flourishes in the desert-like conditions and produces lush fruits much like olives yet larger and rounder. Inside the fruit grows a large nut that houses up to three almond-shape kernels which are the source of the miraculous oil. Argan oil contains unsaturated fatty acids and is rich in tocopherols (Tocopherol, known as vitamin E, describes a series of organic compounds consisting of a methylated phenols. The various derivatives are also vitamin E. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant.) which works like vitamin E (nature’s most powerful antioxidant agent). Argan oil naturally renews cell structure and always consistently restores shines to dull lifeless hair.
