It Makes Sense To Use A Moisturizer With Sunscreen Deosn’t It?

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

Sunburn is bad for your skin, so should you use a moisturizer with sunscreen?

But the answer may not be quite what you thought it might be.

It’s totally clear though that sunburn is really bad for your skin.

If you want to guarantee older looking skin with all the symptoms of aging skin like dryness, sagging, wrinkles and more, just get a sunburned face regularly from an early age.

Then there’s skin cancer to consider too.

So that means that it makes total sense to use a moisturizer with sunscreen with an spf as high as possible.

Well no, but that doesn’t mean that getting sunburned is fine.

Why isnt it a good idea to use a moisturizer with an spf factor? Because there is evidence that the daily use of sunscreens can be dangerous to your health, and even some suggestion that daily use of an spf moisturizer could lead to cancer.

That’s not to say that it’s proven, but it is certainly suspected by many scientists. Now if you use a sunscreen for, say, 5 or 6 times a year, then the risk is a little lower. But if you use a moisturizer with sunscreen added chances are you’re going to be using it daily, so you’re using a sunscreen daily.

There’s different types of sunscreens. There are sunscreens that work in 2 different ways. There are those that stay on the surface of your skin, and those that work within your skin once they soak in. Those that stay on the surface are sunscreens with either zinc or titanium.

If you’re using a sunscreen that soaks in then some of it will get into your blood. And the skin care products and moisturizers with sunscreen use the type that soaks in because it looks and feels better that way.

Spf factor is produced by use of synthetic chemicals, and its always a concern getting synthetic chemicals into your bloodstream.

And theres another factor to consider. If you block the sun to your face daily you can suffer from a deficiency of vitamin D, because the sun on our skin helps our vitamin D supply. Studies have shown that up to 60% of Americans are vitamin D deficient, though not necessarily all from sunscreen use.

So what should you do?

Use the highest quality moisturizer possible, without sunscreen in it. The manufacturer of the worlds very best moisturizers and skin care products specifically doesn’t add a sunscreen to their products for all the reasons I’ve mentioned.

And wait till there’s a day when you really think you need a spf factor, then use a sunscreen with either zinc or titanium. On other days you won’t need one, and then you can stock up on that vitamin D.

Where Can I Find A List Of The Best To Worst Skin Care Products?

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

One of the biggest question women ask about skin care products is “which are the best to worst skin care products”?

So today I thought I would deal with this question, but perhaps not give quite the answer that you might expect. I’m not going to give you a list of the best skin care products listing the best to worst skin care products 1 to 10.

That’s because I don’t believe that women who are asking themselves which is the best skin care products are asking the right question. There is a more important question to ask before you select a skin care range.

The preliminary question you should ask is one which almost no women ask themselves.

The question is which are the SAFEST skin care products?

SAFEST? You can’t be suggesting that skin care products are unsafe to use can you?

Well sadly safety has a lot to do with skin care products, and should be considered before any question of finding the best (or worst) skin care products. You see many big brand name skin care products contain ingredients that are suspect or downright dangerous. And so do many well known cosmetics, personal and body care and beauty products.

One quick example.

A recent study found lead in over 50% of big brand lipsticks tested.

And yes, you’re right, it’s really bad to get lead into our bodies. And there’s lead in big name lipsticks that you may even be using today. There’s lots more examples of dangerous ingredients in skin care and anti aging products and cosmetics and personal care products, that’s just one.

It’s so bad that entire organizations have now been set up to combat this problem with dangerous ingredients in anti aging skin care products and cosmetics and more.

How can this happen? Because the FDA is not required to police any of the ingredients that go into these products, so the big companies can put whatever they want in there. Many ingredients used in products in the US are banned in Europe.

And of course big companies care so much for you health don’t they? Just look at how much the cigarette companies care.

So before you ask yourself which are the best to worst skin care products you should be asking which are the safest skin care products. Because the best skin care products are only the best if they are safe.

There are some excellent natural skin care products available. They can be made from extracts from plants, or from the wool of sheep, or seaweed perhaps. But only from ingredients known to be safe.

And the company that makes the best skin care products in the world has actually made a commitment to it’s customers that it will only use ingredients in it’s products that are safe enough to eat.

So sorry, for those looking for a list of the best to worst skin care products, I haven’t produced a list. And anyway most of the big name products (apart from being unsafe to use) wouldn’t be on it anyway, most do very little. Strangely it’s unlikely that you’ve even heard of the company that makes the best skin care products, and they even back up the quality of their products with a money back guaranteed, so you can try risk free.

I Need A List Of The Best To Worst Skin Care Products.

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Many women looking to buy skin care products are asking themselves “which are the best to worst skin care products”?

So today I thought I would deal with this question, but perhaps not give quite the answer that you might expect. I’m not going to give you a list of the best skin care products listing the best to worst skin care products 1 to 10.

That’s because I don’t believe that women who are asking themselves which is the best skin care products are asking the right question. There is a more important question to ask before you select a skin care range.

The FIRST and most important question that you should ask, and one which we suspect that 90% or more of women never think of is this.

The question is which are the SAFEST skin care products?

SAFEST?? How can skin care products be unsafe? What does safety have to do with skin care products?

Well sadly safety has a lot to do with skin care products, and should be considered before any question of finding the best (or worst) skin care products. You see many big brand name skin care products contain ingredients that are suspect or downright dangerous. And so do many well known cosmetics, personal and body care and beauty products.

Here’s a quick example. It relates to cosmetics, but it’s the same for skin care and anti aging products too.

A study conducted only recently on big brand name lipsticks found lead in over 50% of them.

And yes, you’re right, it’s really bad to get lead into our bodies. And there’s lead in big name lipsticks that you may even be using today. There’s lots more examples of dangerous ingredients in skin care and anti aging products and cosmetics and personal care products, that’s just one.

The problem is so bad that there are now entire organizations set up to combat dangerous ingredients in cosmetics and skin care and anti aging and body care, personal and beauty products.

How is this possible. It’s because the FDA doesn’t have to check the ingredients found in these products for safety, so whatever the big companies want to put in they can. And there are many ingredients used in these products that are banned in Europe.

And big business doesn’t have a fine record of caring for the health of their customers where there is money to be made, just look at the record of the tobacco companies.

So before asking yourself about the best to worst skin care products you should be searching for the safest skin care products. Because the best skin care products can’t be the best unless they are safe to use.

And it’s possible to get excellent natural skin care products that are safe and source ingredients from such places as plants or seaweeds or the wool of sheep. All known to be safe for people to use.

And there is one company that makes the worlds best skin care products. They make natural skin care products using ingredients that are sourced from plants, and seaweeds and the wool of sheep, and all safe to use.

So if you’re looking for the worlds best skin care products we haven’t produced a list for you, sorry. Most big names you would expect to be on the list aren’t safe to use, (and most do very little either, so they wouldn’t be on the list regardless). In fact the best skin care products are made by a company that you’ve probably never heard of, and they back up their products with a money back guarantee.
