Let's face it - none of us wants to get old and shrivel up like a raisin, and many of us probably use facial moisturizers daily to delay the effects of aging.
However, if you are using the wrong facial cream, one that contains cheap, ineffective, or harmful ingredients, you're wasting time and money.
Only using the right facial moisturizer can moisturize efficiently and prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
You want to look for two things when you're shopping for the right facial cream: 1) Be certain the cream does not contain any cheap moisturizing substances or harmful ingredients.
2) Make sure the cream contains anti aging ingredients that have been clinically proven to work.
The majority of facial moisturizers on the market don't meet both criteria, but there are some high quality creams that do.
These are the ones that will really make a noticeable difference.
Cheap Moisturizing Substances and Harmful Ingredients Many facial moisturizers on the market contain cheap moisturizing ingredients, such as mineral oil.
Even some of the most well known and respected brands use mineral oil in their products.
Although widely accepted by skin care manufacturers, mineral oil is not a great moisturizing substance.
In fact, it can cause aggravating problems for those who use it.
For those who battle acne, mineral oil is a nightmare.
It clogs pores, traps bacteria, and does not allow the skin to eliminate harmful toxins.
It's also bad for dry skin as it eventually strips the skin of its natural acid mantle which is a barrier that protects us from bacteria, molds, and viruses.
For an efficient moisturizing facial cream, I suggest you look for one that contains high quality plant oils, as they make wonderful moisturizers that add to and enhance your own skin's natural moisture.
Plant oils also allow your skin to breathe, so you don't have to worry about clogged pores.
Now I know it's hard to believe, but yes, there are many common facial moisturizers that contain harmful ingredients.
For instance, parabens are commonly used as preservatives, because they're cheap.
But medical studies have detected parabens in breast tumors, implying that with continued use, they can absorb through the skin and increase the risk of cancer.
Other ingredients with carcinogenic properties include 1,4-dioxane, acrylamide, DEA, MEA, TEA, and some fragrances just to name a few.
Companies, with high standards of integrity, which produce facial moisturizers and other products backed by years of research, will never include these types of ingredients in their products.
And these are the types of companies that you want to buy your skin care products from.
Clinically Proven Anti Aging Ingredients This is the area where you need to use your research skills to find the right facial cream.
Here's a tip: stay away from creams that contain collagen as an active ingredient.
From an anti aging standpoint, you are wasting money if you buy one of these.
Research has proven that collagen molecules are too large to be absorbed through our skin.
But, we're all in luck, because recently a new way to increase your amount of collagen by way of a facial cream was discovered.
Rather than containing collagen as an ingredient, it contains breakthrough ingredients that stimulate your body to increase its production of collagen.
The increase in collagen firms up, smooths out, and decreases the wrinkles in the skin.
Facial moisturizers containing these ingredients will help keep aging to a minimum.
This is just evidence of the huge advances science has made in the area of skin care.
