In these times there are a lot of exceptional anti aging skin products on the market. There are also plenty of not-so-good ones. You might have guessed, that it all comes down to the substances. It is too bad the skin care companies, fail to provide meaningful ingredients lists for the lay person, so what can you do?The list of ingredients is always the first place to start. But just looking at that extended list of chemical sounding names can make you cringe. Here’s a tip: read the warning label and directions first.The vast majority of creams and lotions can cause stinging if it gets in your eyes. So, advice on what to do when the product gets in your eyes is not cause for alarm. Its when you see “avoid using this product around the mouth or eye area” then that is a red flag!You have to question what would happen if it gets in your mouth somehow?. Is there poison in it?You will most likely be outraged to learn that frequently there is poison involved. Naturally occurring substances can be poisonous. Most likely by triggering skin or eye discomfort. Essential oils are examples of semi-natural ingredients that can lead to sickness if consumed. They can cause irritation if used directly on the skin. Their main benefit is that they smell good.I mention essential oils mainly because many anti aging skin care lines contain them. The name is somewhat misleading. They are not really essential. Chemically they are almost nothing like the skin’s natural oils. In reality, they are just concentrated plant perfumes. They are mostly water.The essential fatty acids, found in components like grape seed oil and olive oil, are very good for your skins health. They aid the retention of moisture. They also contain nutrients like vitamin E. Vitamin E is one of the most potent antioxidants. Antioxidants are essential for stopping and fixing free radical damage, a significant cause of skin aging.When reading the list of ingredients, pure vitamin E is commonly posted as alpha-tocopherol. Grapeseed oil may be listed as Vitis vinifera seed oil. Olive oil is sometimes posted as olivate.There are many other good ingredients to look for in skin care creams. A little research will prevent the application of dangerous toxins on your skin.
