Tips on Rating Skincare Products

When it comes to rating skincare products, are you comparing similar products? Or are you comparing natural products to synthetic or chemical based ones? In my mind, there is nothing better or safer for your skin than a top-notch natural anti aging cream or lotion.

Why are natural products better for your skin? Synthetic or chemical products can be harmful to your skin due to the ingredients. Some ingredients that are harmful include mineral oil, fragrances and parabens. Parabens are preservatives that prolong the shelf life of the product. They are cheap additives that are also potential cancer causing agents. Parabens were found in the breast tissue of women with skin cancer. Although it is inconclusive as to whether they caused the cancer or not it is still recommended that you avoid them.

When you are rating skincare products, the worst possible ones are the ones that contain parabens. Mineral oil is also bad for your skin as it can clog your pores and this can lead to acne breakouts. Fragrances can cause skin irritations or allergic reactions.

Consumers end up rating skincare products because they are looking for a cream or lotion that will help to reduce lines and wrinkles on their skin. Now, what exactly causes these to appear?

When we are younger, our skin has an abundance of vital skin proteins such as collagen and elastin. Collagen is a fiber-like protein that gives our skin its structure. Elastin is a protein that gives our skin its elasticity. These are both vital in the overall health of our skin. As we age though, our body stops producing these proteins. Therefore, we need to apply something to the skin that will help to stimulate the re-production of these proteins.

Thankfully, some specific natural substances will stimulate the re-growth of collagen and elastin. These substances or ingredients are used in the most effective anti aging creams and lotions on the market. When it comes to rating skincare products, I rate the natural products as the best available.

Some of the most effective natural ingredients include Cynergy TK and Phytessence Wakame. Cynergy TK is rich in functional keratin, which helps to stimulate the re-growth of collagen and elastin. This amazing substance is derived from wool of sheep in New Zealand. Phytessence Wakame is derived from a specific type of Japanese sea kelp. It is rich in antioxidants and is very effective at repairing damaged skin tissue. If you find a product containing these ingredients then it is one that I recommend you try.

When it comes to rating skincare products, the best ones I have used are creams that contain natural ingredients.
