Are you getting older and are you noticing your skin aging? This happens to everyone and when it does our thoughts usually turn to better skin care. I want to examine the problems with modern skin care products and anti aging products and to consider why you might be well advised to choose all natural skin care products the next time you purchase.
Using anti aging products is meant to be a positive to your life, not a negative. They’re meant to be good for you, by reversing skin aging problems that you see with age including wrinkles, age spots, lines and skin sagging and more.
But unfortunately for many people the use of anti aging products is not a positive but a negative. There are many people who suffer negative health and skin reactions to the use of anti aging products, including skin problems like eczema and allergies. I research these types of problems because I saw it happen to a member of my own family.
And the reason for this is simple, and it does not apply to all natural skin care products.
The reason is this. Many of the antaging brands that you may take for granted and perhaps even use every day contain a range of chemical and petrochemical ingredients, many of which are known to cause cancer and many of which lead to skin problems as well as other health problems.
This morning I was reading a study from the Journal of Investigative Dermatology which found that the risk of skin cancer in mice was increased by 69 percent when moisturisers containing sodium lauryl sulphate and mineral oil were applied to the skin of mice 5 times a day for 17 weeks. And the study also concluded, after testing, that when a moisturiser was used under the same conditions, where it did not contain mineral oil and sodium lauryl sulphate, there was no increased risk of skin cancer to the mice.
There’s hundreds or perhaps even thousands of studies that show that many of the nasty chemical ingredients found in so many modern anti aging products can be dangerous to your health. Parabens, sodium lauryl sulphate, mineral oil, fragrances and various petroleum products are so commonly found in so many anti aging products that you may use every day. And each of these chemical ingredients has been shown in studies to pose health risks to consumers.
There are a wide range of well-known natural ingredients which are firmly established to be very beneficial to the health of your skin and which are perfectly safe to use in anti aging products such as all natural anti aging products. These ingredients are known to be safe and in many cases have been eaten by generations of people without negative health implications.
Of course these natural ingredients are all available to any company to use in it’s anti aging products. However with billions of dollars at stake in this industry competition is voracious, including competition on price. Whilst all of these natural ingredients found in so many good all natural skin care products are relatively expensive chemical ingredients such as mineral oil and sodium lauryl sulphate are extremely cheap. These companies use cheap ingredients so that they can market their products at a competitive price and include in the budget plenty of money for television advertising.
But there are some small players on the market that can see an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and to produce all natural skin care products that use these types of ingredients to produce excellent quality products which do not offer any health risks to the consumer.
All natural skin care products work very effectively, and if you choose wisely they are perfectly safe for you to use on your skin, regardless of skin type, and will not cause any skin irritation or allergies or any other health problems.
Notice that I said “if you choose wisely”. You will find all natural skin care products which are called that on the label but which contain many of the chemical ingredients found in so many others. Because the government does not regulate either what is put into skin care products or what is claimed on the label anything goes.
As I said the best all natural in care products are highly effective, and the very best ones need to be highly effective because they are backed up by a 100 percent money back guarantee, something highly unusual in the anti aging industry.
So if you are slowly becoming aware of the risks of chemical ingredients in modern anti aging products then there is good news. You really can find excellent skin care products that are safe to use, which are highly effective and which do not exposu you to any health risks.
