Best Anti Aging Skin Care Products

We may all have skin in all the same places but the skin that we have is not necessarily the same! In general terms people will each have a specific skin type. Is this an important thing to know? Well, for a start knowing your actual skin type will allow you to choose the right skin care products to help keep your skin clean and healthy.

So, if you have normal skin then the products that you buy to take care of your skin should be designed to have the same effect wherever you put them on your face. Your skin here will be uniform and it will not be too oily or too dry. It will also not have any major sensitivities to skin care products.

One of the other most common skin types is greasy/oily skin. Here your skin produces a little too much oil from its glands which can give your skin a slightly oily sheen. This skin type is also more prone to issues such as zits and blackheads so it is important to use the right kind of products here to try and dry up your skin and to avoid these problems happening in the first place.

If you have dry skin then your skin actually won’t be producing enough oil. So, you may be prone to patches of dry skin on your face, for example. Again, specially targeted skin care products will help here as they will make sure that your skin is correctly hydrated and that it doesn’t dry out too much.

Some people actually have more than one skin type — if this is the case then they are said to have combination skin. Here, for example, you might have some oily skin on your nose, chin and forehead and some dry skin on your cheek areas and around your mouth. You can buy special combination skin products here but many people will simply use specialist products individually on each different area instead.

A lot of people also suffer from sensitive skin and, if this is the case with you, then you really do need to put some thought into the skin care products that you buy and use. If you use the wrong products on sensitive skin then you could find that your skin flares up or has an allergic reaction. For this reason you will be better off using specially designed products for sensitive skin.

If you take some time to work out what kind of skin type that you have then you will find it much easier to choose effective skin care products. Remember that using the wrong types of products on the wrong skin can just make problems worse. So, for example, using a moisturizer for oily skin on dry skin may simply dry out your skin even more. Finally, remember that it is quite common for your skin type to change as you get older so do keep checking!

You might be unaware that there are dangerous ingredients in many big brand name cosmetics, and a new study is showing that this might be affecting teenage girls.

Our big brand cosmetics can be loaded with ingredients that aren’t safe and we ought not put on our skin. A recent study, for example, showed there was lead in over 50% of lipsticks tested.

Surely there can’t be lead in our lipsticks? Isn’t lead really dangerous? Yes it is, but sadly the FDA doesn’t require cosmetics companies to show that their products are safe to use. It’s the same with anti aging and skin care products.

And yet for those of us using cosmetics we are putting them into our systems just as if they were drugs. When you apply a cosmetic product like a lipstick or a blush our a rouge some of that products ends up inside of us.

And it goes in because our skin is porous and what goes on mostly goes in and ends up in our bodes. That’s fine it the ingredients are harmless but lead? That’s not harmless.

And there’s a new study now which suggests that there are good reason why our teenage girls should be using safe cosmetics rather than the big brand dangerous cosmetics that so many use now. Here’s a quote from the Campaign For Safe Cosmetics.

“Laboratory tests reveal adolescent girls across America are contaminated with chemicals commonly used in cosmetics and body care products.”

Now isn’t that scary? And it’s worse than you’d imagine, and if you’re a parent of teenage girls who use cosmetics, (and which girls don’t) it’s really scary.

The Environmental Working Group found chemicals from 4 different families of chemicals (phthalates, parabens, triclosan and musks) in the urine of girls between the ages of 14 and 20 who were tested in the study.

Some of these chemicals were found in the urine of every single girl tested.

And teenage girls are growing very fast, so the last thing they need is to be adding nasty chemicals to their bodies.

Most of these chemicals are hormone altering and so our teenage girls are taking a big risk at a time when they shouldn’t by using these toxic chemicals in their cosmetics.

What will be the result of these possible risks to the reproductive health of young girls? Who knows, but I for one don’t want my daughter to find out.

There seem to be risks to our girls but no one really knows the possible consequences.

That’s a matter of concern for parents and girls, but there are alternatives. There are excellent companies making safe cosmetics and safe skin care products that work very well indeed and don’t contain dangerous ingredients. So no risks to our daughters.

Unfortunately these companies are small niche companies unable to compete with the big brand names, and they don’t even try to compete. You’ll never find them advertising on TV for example. And you’re unlikely to find their products in the department stores either.

But if you search you can find small companies making excellent and safe cosmetics and also safe natural skin care products that are extremely good, and better quality than the big brands.

So don’t take risks with your daughters health. Use top shelf safe cosmetics and highly effective skin care products and make sure you or your daughter aren’t using products with dangerous ingredients in them.
