Posted On December 25, 2009 at 5:49 pm in Anti Aging
As we get older our skin ages, and as we start to notice ageing skin our thoughts turn to skin care. Today I want to examine the problems with mainstream anti aging products, find out what all natural skin care is and why this is important for you to know.
Anti aging products are supposed to be good for us. They are supposed to reverse the effects of skin ageing and to reduce the visible results, namely wrinkles, skin sagging, fine lines, age spots and more. Using skin care products is supposed to be a positive in our lifeAnti aging products are meant to be good. They are meant to tackle the skin problems that we all notice with aging such as the fine lines, wrinkles, the skin sagging, the age spots and much more. Anti aging products are meant to be a positive for us not a negative.
But unfortunately for many people the use of anti aging products is not a positive but a negative. There are many people who suffer negative health and skin reactions to the use of anti aging products, including skin problems like eczema and allergies. I research these types of problems because I saw it happen to a member of my own family.
There’s a very simple reason for this which does not apply to all natural skin care products.
The reason is this. Many of the antaging brands that you may take for granted and perhaps even use every day contain a range of chemical and petrochemical ingredients, many of which are known to cause cancer and many of which lead to skin problems as well as other health problems.
This morning I was reading a study from the Journal of Investigative Dermatology which found that the risk of skin cancer in mice was increased by 69 percent when moisturisers containing sodium lauryl sulphate and mineral oil were applied to the skin of mice 5 times a day for 17 weeks. And the study also concluded, after testing, that when a moisturiser was used under the same conditions, where it did not contain mineral oil and sodium lauryl sulphate, there was no increased risk of skin cancer to the mice.
There’s hundreds or perhaps even thousands of studies that show that many of the nasty chemical ingredients found in so many modern anti aging products can be dangerous to your health. Parabens, sodium lauryl sulphate, mineral oil, fragrances and various petroleum products are so commonly found in so many anti aging products that you may use every day. And each of these chemical ingredients has been shown in studies to pose health risks to consumers.
There are excellent natural ingredients available which are known to have properties that help promote optimum skin health and which are also extremely safe to use in skin care products. It is these ingredients that are used in all natural skin care products.
Any skin care company can use any of these natural ingredients but the skin care industry is voracious with billions of dollars at stake and there is serious competition in the industry including price competition. These natural ingredients are effective but expensive whilst the chemical alternatives used in so many products are way cheaper. Cheaper ingredients are used so the skin care companies can compete on price and still allow plenty of budget for television advertising.
But this opens an opportunity for some small niche skin care companies to take advantage of this by producing all natural skin care products that do use these ingredients and which can therefore produce high-quality products using safe ingredients that are very effective and which do not subject the user to health or skin problems.
These all natural anti aging products work extremely effectively and, if you choose wisely, should produce an excellent result for you regardless of your skin type without any risk of allergies or skin irritation.
Notice that I did say “if you choose wisely”. After you’ve been looking for a while, if you examine the products carefully, you will see that many products which are described on the label as natural skin care products that contain many of the same chemical ingredients that the big brands do. The government doesn’t regulate what can be put into anti aging products and it doesn’t regulate the claims that can be made on the label, so anything goes.
The best all natural skin care products offer you an opportunity for excellent skin care without risking your health or your skin. They are highly effective and they need to be, because the best ones come with a money back guarantee to ensure that all customers are able to try the products risk free to establish for themselves how well they work.
So if you’re becoming concerned about the problems with mainstream anti aging skin care products and you can be confident in the knowledge that, if you choose wisely, you can find excellent all natural skin care products that really do produce optimum skin health without the chemical risks.
