Why Aren't You Using the Best Skin Care Anti Wrinkle Cream?

Shopping for skin care anti wrinkle cream can be hazardous, if you don’t know which ingredients to avoid.  There are good anti wrinkle creams and lotions on the market, but the ones that you see in discount and department stores are not among them.

An evaluation of the available brands of skin care anti wrinkle cream revealed that the product claims are based on one or two active ingredients that are present in very low concentrations.  The majority of the bottle contains cheap fillers, artificial preservatives and added fragrances. 

You could probably make something more effective than that in your own kitchen.  You could sell it, too, without proving that it was safe or effective.  In the US, the FDA  oversees cosmetic companies, but they don’t require manufactures to prove that their claims are valid, nor that their products are safe.

I believe that is one of the reasons that anti wrinkle creams and lotions often cause adverse reactions.  According to the FDA, it happens about 25% of the time.  Of course, that was only 25% of the people that they surveyed.  If you read consumer reviews for anti wrinkle creams and lotions, the percentage is closer to half.

The FDA recommends that consumers test all products on a small inconspicuous area, before using them on your face.  But, if you find a manufacturer that only includes ingredients with a proven safety record, then you don’t need to take that step.

If you also find a manufacturer that has conducted clinical testing to prove the effectiveness of their skin care anti wrinkle cream, then you have a winner.  There is one manufacturer that also insures purity by testing the raw ingredients for unwanted contaminants and by testing each batch, to insure that contamination did not occur during the manufacturing process.

That’s important because the Environmental Working Group has reported finding lead, mercury and other contaminants in lipsticks, hair dye and anti wrinkle creams and lotions.  Lead, mercury, pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals will pass through the skin; enter the bloodstream and lodge in the organs.  The EWG refers to this as your “body burden”.  When it gets high enough, you are at real danger for chronic health problems.

We are exposed to enough environmental toxins, simply by breathing the polluted air.  If you’re like me, you don’t want a skin care anti wrinkle cream that increases the body’s burden.

The best ingredients are also the safest.  They include kelp extracts, vitamins, minerals, coenzymes, essential fatty acids, peptides and other nutrients.

Anti wrinkle creams and lotions should be more like vitamin supplements than cosmetics.  The goal is to improve the skin’s health, which will also improve firmness and reduce wrinkles.  Peptides are short chains of amino acids that have been shown to stimulate the production of new cells.  Basically, skin care anti wrinkle cream that contains nourishing peptides will allow you to grow new skin, to replace that which has been damaged by time.
